Reducing medical residents work shifts to 16-hours would go a long way toward patient safety, says a new report from the Institute of Medicine. The changes would cost hospitals about $1.7 billion, and not go far enough, critics charge.
Medicaid will no longer reimburse hospitals for the extra cost of treating patients who are injured due to their own mistakes. For decades hospitals have been reimbursed for their own mistakes and the cost to correct them. But now, the federal government is tired of doctors and hospitals profiting from their mistakes.
Our mission is to seek the complete truth and provide a full and fair account of the events and issues that surround personal safety, accident prevention, and injury recovery. We are committed to serving the public with honesty and integrity in these efforts.
