Overall, how is the $100 million target in budget reductions being achieved?
Many areas of Chicago BioMedicine will be affected by budget cuts. UCMC is reshaping its physical bed capacity by closing a general medicine unit; reducing and redistributing capacity in the intensive care units; streamlining the emergency room process; reducing personnel in shared support areas such as communications, facilities and finance; not offering further appointments when some faculty terms end; further reducing spending on consultants; cutting back on capital spending for construction and renovation projects; and tightly controlling administrative expense and salary levels across the enterprise.
