Find this whole issue interesting. Typically, licensed health care providers, when surveyed, are given a period to implement a Plan of Correction when deficiencies are found. That being the case, there should have been adequate time given for the facility to respond with appropriate measures to keep their certification. Sad to see the facility being so unresponsive to the community!
You have to care about the community and its residents first and if you don't, this is what happens.
On another note, pending layoffs were announced to some departments yesterday.
Actually 1212, layoffs have not been announced. All that was said was that layoffs will start in 8-10 weeks. Know your stuff before you start rumors!!!
Heard that too, 12:12. Any details???
This isn't considered a deficiency. They lost the designation because of a lack of Perinatal Physicians.
404 ... 1212 actually stated pending layoffs which is exactly what you said! You said layoffs will start in 8-10 weeks... That is pending to me. I also heard this over the weekend that it was coming. I don't know how PRMC can lay off when they are short staffed as it is. Maybe they would save the most money if they would start with the upper management. Why lay off the people who actually do the hands on?
922 if you read what 1212 said, they wrote that lay offs were announced to some departments yesterday. Departments, staff etc... Have not been announced. They have not chosen
Losing the NICU is a tremendous step backward for the Eastern Shore. Now there are NO facilities locally that can care for these babies. Just think, if you are pregnant and below 32 weeks with a chance of delivering, you will be sent to the western shore to deliver. This means you will be away from your OB who has taken care of you, your family, potential caregivers at PRMC that you may be familiar with and so on. Depending on the length of stay of your baby, you will have to travel, have lodging, etc etc.I have read coverage on this issue in the DT, WBOC and Facebook, and realize the cost of having the needed doctors here is expensive. But now we are really hurting our local families. It would be interesting to hear from some families who have had a premature baby and how that experience has impacted their life and discuss what it was like to be able to stay here versus going "across the bridge".
