I worked with OI for 8.5 years and it is a drastic change from when I started.  I have also talked with some that have worked there longer and they agree.  You have absolutely no support from upper management and they make you feel like a number and very replaceable.  Unfortunately this has been told to some of the employees which is unacceptable.  In middle management all they want are "yes" people.  They do not want to hear possible changes from middle management that might make it a better place to work, they just want to tell middle management what to do and expect them to make the changes regardless of how it affects the employees actually seeing patients.  There are some good physicians there although they really have no control over things even though they are the owners.  Some of the physicians who have been there for 30+ years were surprised of some of the changes being made in the clinics and hospital, they should be the ones making the decisions, but unfortunately it is upper management who doesn't care about their employees. 

My typical day at OrthoIndy varied as I had 2 roles. They were both very patient oriented roles as one was scheduling return visits and scheduling tests and the other concerned dispensing medication. Management was from 2 different companies. OrthoIndy management was mostly fair and impartial and I enjoyed working with them. My other manager was mostly contacted via phone call and visited the site to see me once a month or so. I really enjoyed everyone I worked with and got along great. I also made some friends that I still talk to and see from time to time outside of professional roles. The part I liked the most was the patient interaction. Creating that connection in a short amount of time was something I excelled at and took pride in. It always feels good when a patient remembers your name and takes a few minutes to talk with you. It lets you know you made a positive impact in someone's life.

Some RT’s do 40-100 patients a day and you get yelled at for taking too long and it’s your fault if the doctors schedule gets behind.  Outdated equipment, poor/high turn over rate  in management,  poor set up to do your job efficiently especially the NW location 
Short staffed for RT’s but the doctors can still triple book their schedule and order X-rays on all patients. 
No paid holidays, have to use your PTO ,requires to work 2 holidays a year, assigned weekend shifts with no say in the matter 

My typical day started with checking and responding to emails.  I would check my manager's calendar to see her schedule for the day.  My manager would typically "make rounds" and greet each of us in the morning.  

I would check with my team for any deficiency updates I needed to be aware of.  When they had the reports updated, I would run the report and send letters to the physicians/provides to update them on the deficiencies.  I also updated an aging spreadsheet for the providers that I shared with my team.

I made myself available to other team members to provide assistance as needed.  There was great comradery and communication on behalf of the management and staff.

Overall, OrthoIndy is a great place to work at.  Most of the physicians are down to earth and care about their support staff.  It truly feels like a family when you work there.  The only down side of OrthoIndy, is that management is extremely ineffective and some are not very knowledgeable of their position.  It's frustrating as an employee who has been with the company several years to see this continue.
The most enjoyable part of the job was the doctors themselves.  They are great surgeons, care about their patients, and appreciate their staff and let us know it often.

Working as a Tech at most of the OI locations can be a real grind.  OI does not staff well, so you are expected to put a lot of clinic patients through Imaging in a very short amount of time.  Can't make those orthopedic surgeons wait!  Management sits in their little offices making decisions about topics they know little about.  And, most of OI Imaging is going to the model where Techs also serve as MA's or Registration staff.  Yet, they only pay you for one job, not the two or three positions you might be expected to perform. 

I enjoyed working here when I started, but after Covid things changed. Turnover rate has increased and I was doing jobs outside of my job description with no increase in pay or hazard pay for being COVID symptom screener. Also the office I worked, the staff was very gossipy. While I liked some of my coworkers, that's just not the type of work environment I wanted to come to everyday. Management was sometimes part of the gossip. I kept to myself as much as possible to not be brought into any of it. 

Management style is very lacking she only helps those who are in her circle of friends. MAs who do their jobs well are never told so. The few MAs who are best friends with her get away with everything like leaving their stations when physicians need them forcing others to do their jobs. The chosen are allowed to be on their phones but others get in trouble. She is never able to be found when she is needed. She goes to her car to smoke which is against company policy of no tobacco on the campus.

Typical day at work never ends up how it started. The calls in are bad here. Schedule changes an hour before shift and you're not notified. Expected to be on your Microsoft teams app 24/7 and figure it out on your own. Negative place to work with all changes and management doesn't try and help. 

I've worked at OrthIndy as a CNA for 8 years and have loved and appreciated it. They offer opportunities for learning, such as observing in the operating rooms, and generous compensation. The location where I work has great hours and weekends and holidays. Very low turn over. Kind, efficient staff who feel like family, and annual raises.
