State hospital vacancy rates improve amid staffing push
Kansas officials report progress in reducing vacancies at state hospitals with Osawatomie and Lamed showing lower rates, though gaps remain. Mental health technician slots at Lamed total 89 of 461, a 24 percent vacancy. Osawatomie lists 35 of 136 open, about 10 percent. Physician and nurse vacancies persist while overtime costs exceed $4 million since January, though trending down. A privatization RFP for Osawatomie is due, likely extended to mid January.
