Saying the healthcare industry no longer can afford turf battles over which professionals will perform which patient-care duties--such as a recent skirmish in California concerning the role of perfusionists--a growing number of hospital executives are moving away from specialized staff and are cross-training workers in multiple skills. Advocates say it will relieve persistent labor shortages and save money, but foes say cross-training will only harm quality and increase costs.
鉴于医疗行业再也承受不起各专业人员就履行何种患者护理职责而展开的地盘之争——比如近期在加利福尼亚州围绕灌注师角色发生的一场小冲突——越来越多的医院管理人员正摒弃专业化员工配置模式，转而对员工进行多种技能的交叉培训。倡导者表示，这将缓解长期存在的劳动力短缺问题并节省资金，但反对者称，交叉培训只会损害医疗质量并增加成本。
