Survey: Turnover on the rise among hourly workers - Drug Store News

Key excerpts from the article: 

Respondents cited “better opportunities/promotions” as the No. 1 reason for departures in the retail industry, followed by more money and a desire for a more hours. When asked what retailers will be looking to do to curb turnover moving forward, “training” and “career pathing” were cited as the top focus areas, followed by “better communications on the employee value proposition” and “changes to compensation packages.”  

“To retain top employees, employers need to lay out clear career paths, offer training and pay competitive wages. It’s critical that employees feel nurtured and that they feel part of the organization instead of just having a job.”

Maintaining business continuity and regulatory compliance are top priorities in the HMDR niche. It's wise to consider the items mentioned in the article above.

Additionally, it's not unusual for some businesses to manage with just one HMDR Exemptee, or keep the bare minimum of licensed HMDR Exemptees on staff.  However, these companies can run into a situation that can affect the company's business financial health. In the event the company loses a licensed Exemptee (for example, the Exemptee quits and cross-coverage by another licensed Exemptee isn't possible), then the business operation could get into trouble with regulatory agencies, or just as bad, must suspend operation (until a licensed Exemptee can be on premise).

It's a difficult scenario, to be left scrambling, trying to find, hire, and get a new employee properly licensed as an Exemptee.  Therefore, consider the risks, and keep just the "right" number of licensed HMDR Exemptees.

Consumer Updates > Making Medical Devices Safer at Home:

""(Home use) devices once were designed only to keep you alive. Now they're designed to keep you as independent as possible," according to Mary Brady, MSN, RN, a senior policy analyst at FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH).

However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has long been concerned that consumers may sometimes be literally left to their own devices—depending upon medical devices they might not know how to operate and for which they might not understand the safety risks.

There have been serious, and even fatal, problems reported to FDA associated with medical devices used at home. For example, a woman with kidney failure got cat hair in her dialysis tubing, resulting in peritonitis, a life-threatening abdominal infection. And a child died when his mother didn't hear an alarm on his ventilator signaling that the tubing had become disconnected."

Agency Investigates Deaths and Injuries Associated With Bed Rails - NYTimes.com:

". . . death certificates and hospital emergency room visits from 2003 through May 2012 shows that 150 mostly older adults died after they became trapped in bed rails. Over nearly the same time period, 36,000 mostly older adults — about 4,000 a year — were treated in emergency rooms with bed rail injuries. Officials at the FDA and the commission said the data probably understated the problem since bed rails are not always listed as a cause of death by nursing homes and coroners, or as a cause of injury by emergency room doctors.

Experts who have studied the deaths say they are avoidable. While the F.D.A. issued safety warnings about the devices in 1995 . . ."

This Program licenses all California and Out-of-State facilities and businesses who supply medical devices or durable medical equipment for use in the home to treat acute or chronic illnesses or injuries. There are three distinct licenses issued by the HMDR Program, in-state California firms, out-of-state firms, and (pharmacist) exemptees who are required employees of firms selling prescription, dangerous medical devices as described under California and Federal medical device laws. . . . Please contact the home medical device retail desk at (916) 650- 6500 should you have further questions."

Don't Get Caught Without A California HMDR Exemptee | SkillsPlus International Info:

"Avoid jeopardizing your business.

• Don't get caught without a California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Home Medical Device Retailer (HMDR) Exemptee.
• It's a wise investment to have more than just one Exemptee, so that you have additional Exemptees for backup and cross-covering.
• The cost of training another Exemptee is very reasonable, in contrast to having to close down the business."
