Research Strategy
To provide the required information, the research team considered competitors with employee counts that are as close as BJC Healthcare's 3,600 as possible. We then leveraged sites such as Indeed and Glassdoor to find the top employee reviews. However, we had to replace two Ascension-affiliated facilities that were previously presented in the initial report because they did not have any reviews on major review sites, including Glassdoor and Indeed. These are Ascension Macomb Oakland Hospital and Ascension Online Care. Notably, it was not possible to find data on the other metrics such as bed counts, admission counts, and staff retention. Our research entailed searching through each company's website. We also leveraged the public domain for media resources, employment- and healthcare-focused resources with the required information.
