POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- "Profit before Children: Lives of Medically Fragile Children & Young Adults during Risk in Florida Geriatric Nursing Homes," a just-released white paper authored by a Florida Association for Medically Fragile Children (www.fragilechildren.org), details how a state of Florida as well as geriatric nursing homes are violating federal law as well as putting a lives of medically frail young kids as well as young adults during risk. Major revelations in "Profit before Children" detail a crisis:1. The number of seniors in Florida nursing homes is decreasing. So, owners of geriatric comforts are competing to fill their beds with medically frail young kids simply to remain profitable, though they are not equipped to do so.2. Florida might be violating federal law by not providing services guaranteed all young kids receiving Medicaid underneath a Early as well as Periodic Screening, Diagnostic as well as Treatment Program. 3. Possibly violating federal law, a Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), Children's Medical Services, physicians, as well as hospitals are referring young kids directly to geriatric nursing homes without proper developmental testing or a legally mandated presentation of other options.4. Geriatric nursing homes are lobbying a Florida Legislature to approve reduced levels of care which violate federal law. Their current staffing regulations are already inadequate to care for medically frail children. Under proposed bills (SB 482, SB1884, HB 621, & HB 1419), they wish to further reduce staffing requirements to dangerous levels.5. An up-to-date, statewide, reliable needs assessment of a population of medically frail young kids as well as young adults has not been done in Florida. So, geriatric comforts cannot ethically be granted a certificate of need.6. Geriatric nursing homes cannot properly assess a treatment needs of medically frail young kids as well as young adults. Assessments as well as care plans administered in long-term, geriatric comforts are standardized for people over 65, though they ignore a special needs of medically frail young kids as well as young adults.7. Monitoring systems in geriatric comforts have been written for individuals over 65 who can press a call button for assistance. Medically frail young kids as well as young adults cannot possibly operate them, which could put their lives during risk.The Florida Association for Medically Fragile Children (www.fragilechildren.org) identifies as well as provides solutions for critical issues which endanger a lives as well as well-being of medically frail young kids as well as young adults.

With Pekin Hospital seeking a states capitulation to tighten its learned nursing facility, Proctor Hospital could soon be a only one of a areas four major hospitals with a special section for patients who need a longer-than-typical stay.A hospitals plan to tighten a learned nursing section isnt unusual these days. But, taken with a hundreds of such units which have closed around a country, its a case study in how changes as well as reductions in Medicare reimbursements control what hospitals offer or dont offer.This is an issue of inhabitant interest, says R. Tamara Konetzka, an associate highbrow of health policy as well as economics during a University of Chicago. People have been concerned about this all over a country.Increasingly, patients have been leaving hospitals as well as continuing short-term, post-hospital caring in learned nursing units during nursing homes or, with a assistance of home healthcare programs, in their own homes.When it comes to shutting hospital-based learned nursing units, Konetzka says, a big question is, Is it good for patients? Theres no decisive answer, though it is clear which hospital-based units have been more costly to operate. Pekin Hospital is successful overall, though its learned nursing section has lost tighten to $5 million over a past three years, according to Jo Ellen Patterson, vice president of studious caring services. The sanatorium is licensed for 125 beds, including a 27-bed learned nursing unit. On average, a section operated with about nine patients a day during 2011.Average length of stay?Nine to ten days. Combined with decreases in Medicare reimbursement rates, Patterson says, It hasnt been cost effective to continue running a unit.A growing trendMore than 1,000, or about a third of all such hospital-based units, have closed since a 1990s. Methodist Medical Center closed its section in 2006. OSF Saint Francis Medical Center never had one within a hospital. Instead, OSF Healthcare has offered short- as well as long-term learned caring during OSF St. Clare since 1971.Technically, a learned nursing facility is a nursing home within a hospital. The Centers for Medicare as well as Medicaid Services (CMS) sets Medicare reimbursement rates for them much as if they were nursing homes. For example, patients who need short-term therapies or wound caring after operation have been expelled from a hospitals acute care, or in-patient, section as well as eliminated to a learned caring unit.Both Pekin as well as Proctor officials contend most of a patients in their learned caring units need earthy or occupational therapy after orthopedic surgery.The trend toward hospital-based learned nursing comforts began in a 1980s after CMS restructured Medicare reimbursements for hospitals, from fee-for-service to one pile sum, for patients in acute-care units. The fee-for-service structure assured sanatorium profits, according to Konetzka, though a government wanted to control costs. Hospitals began releasing patients quicker as well as sicker, Konetzka says, because they no longer had a financial incentive to keep patients any longer than necessary. The faster they expelled a patient, a more income they made.In which environment, hospitals satisfied if they non-stop learned nursing facilities, they could keep patients hospitalized longer, plus get a aloft fee-for-service reimbursements from Medicare, based upon learned nursing units technical definition as a nursing home. More than 2,500 hospitals non-stop learned nursing units. When Pekin non-stop its section in 1993, Patterson says, Medicare was encouraging hospitals to open learned nursing comforts by offering good reimbursements. From Medicares standpoint, it was a cost-saving measure because a hospitals learned nursing facility was less dear than an acute care, or in-patient, unit. For a while, it seemed similar to a win-win situation.This was probably good for patients; they could continue to get caring in a hospital, Konetzka says. And it was always good for hospitals.But by a late 1990s, Medicares costs for hospital-based learned nursing comforts were one of its fastest growing expenditures. CMS stepped in again, with a brand new payment system for hospital-based learned nursing facilities, just as it had done for acute-care units a decade earlier. Hospitals would be paid based upon a set cost per day rather than reimbursed upon a fee-for-service basis. Additionally, CMS has steadily cut reimbursement rates opposite a board, most recently in October. Hospital-based learned nursing comforts have been shutting ever since. From 2003 to 2009, a total series dropped 36 percent to 930. Looking to a futureProctor has no plans to tighten its unit.A lot of patients prefer to come to us essentially because of a availability of a learned nursing unit, says Proctor spokesman Steve Wilson.Though licensed for twenty-nine beds, Proctor operates only 20 in its learned nursing unit. Last year, a annual occupancy rate was 66 percent with an normal length of stay of 8.2 days.In Pekin, officials sent out more than 50 letters to nursing homes with learned caring units within a 45-minute expostulate of a hospital. Based upon a response, Patterson believes potential future patients will have alternatives if Pekins section closes.The sanatorium does not plan to lay off any of a 23 employees, including 15 full-time employees, who work in a unit. They will be moved to other positions within a hospital.Hospital officials could know by mid-July if a Illinois Health Facilities as well as Services Review Board approves their application to tighten a unit. Then, theyd have to give 30-day notices to a Illinois Department of Public Health as well as any patients upon a section during which time.Deciding to tighten a section was not easy, Patterson said. We wanted to do everything you could to make it successful.If Pekin wins a state boards approval, a plan is to spin a section into in isolation rooms, which would push in isolation rooms from 30 percent to 80 percent of a hospitals total rooms.For Konetzka, it still goes back to money, specifically a tax dollars which fund Medicare payments. If hospital-based learned nursing comforts have been more costly for no good reason, maybe its a good thing for them to close, she says. But you have to step carefully as well as look during what happens with patients. Thats a part you just dont know.Pam Adams can be reachedat 686-3245 or padams@pjstar.com.Powered By iWebRSS.co.cc

She pronounced the appearance of the facilities, the activities starting on inside as well as your feelings when you walk by the nursing home can help you determine if it's an appropriate trickery for your loved one. Finally, Griffin pronounced call you local long-term caring ombudsman. The ombudsmans office can offer advice on selecting the nursing home, patient rights, as well as insurance issues.

The rapid expansion of this brand new sort of caring comes during a time when health caring experts argue which for many aged patients, a nursing home indication is no longer financially viable or medically justified. In a newer model, a group of doctors, social workers, physical as well as occupational therapists as well as other specialists provides managed caring for individual patients during home, during adult day-care centers as well as in visits to specialists. Studies suggest which it can be less expensive than normal nursing homes while upon condition which better healing outcomes. The series of such programs has expanded rapidly, growing from 42 programs in 22 states in 2007 to 84 in 29 states today. In New York City, a program run by a multiplication of CenterLight Health System, formerly known as a Beth Abraham Family of Health Services, has over 2,500 participants during 12 sites in a metropolitan area. It used to be which if you needed some kind of long-term care, a only way you could get which service was in a nursing home, with 24-hour nursing care, pronounced Jason A. Helgerson, a Medicaid director for New York State. That meant we were institutionalizing service for people, many of whom didnt need 24-hour nursing care. If a person can get a service similar to home health caring or Meals upon Wheels, they can stay in an apartment as well as thrive in which environment, as well as its a reduce cost to taxpayers. The recent influx of adult day-care centers as well as other managed caring plans for a thin aged is being driven by financial constraints as President Obama as well as Congressional leaders seek hundreds of billions of dollars in assets in Medicare as well as Medicaid. Nursing homes, which tend to rely heavily upon Medicare as well as Medicaid dollars, have been facing enormous financial pressure Mr. Obamas due budget includes a $56 billion Medicare cut over 10 years achieved by restricting payments to nursing homes as well as other long-term caring providers. Nationally, a series of nursing homes has declined by nearly 350 in a past six years, according to a American Health Care Association. In New York, a series of nursing homes declined to 634 this January from 649 in October 2007, as well as a series of beds to 116,514 from 119,691. Over a next 3 years, New York State plans to shift 70,000 to 80,000 people who need more than 120 days of Medicaid-reimbursed long-term caring services as well as have been not in nursing homes into managed caring models, Mr. Helgerson said. The move away from nursing homes was highlighted upon Thursday when Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan announced which a Archdiocese of New York, one of a states largest providers of nursing home care, is selling two of its seven nursing homes as well as opening or planning to open seven brand new adult day-care centers over a next 3 years. Seniors as well as others who have chronic health needs should not have to give up their homes as well as independence just to get a healing caring as well as other courtesy they need to live safely as well as comfortably, Cardinal Dolan pronounced in a statement before he opened a 250-patient program during Saint Vincent de Paul Catholic Healthcare Center in a South Bronx. These brand new adult day-care centers, known around a nation by a acronym PACE Program of All-Inclusive Care for a Elderly provide almost all a services a nursing home might, together with periodic examinations by doctors as well as nurses, daytime social activities similar to sing-alongs as well as lectures, physical as well as occupational therapy as well as two or 3 daily meals. All a participants have been considered eligible for nursing homes because they cannot perform two or more essential activities upon their own similar to bathing, dressing as well as going to a toilet. But they get to nap in their own beds during night, often with a home health caring aide or relative nearby. The nonprofit groups which operate them receive a fixed monthly fee for each participant as well as manage their entire care, together with visits to specialists, hospitalizations, home caring as well as even placement in a nursing home. Because Medicare as well as Medicaid pay set fees instead of paying for specific procedures, center operators have been encouraged to provide preventive caring to equivocate costly hospitalizations or nursing home care. Some aged people, however, spurn PACE programs because under managed care, they would have to switch their physicians to those during a PACE center or in its network. Robert Pear as well as Christopher Reeve contributed reporting.Powered By iWebRSS.co.cc

TULSA, Oklahoma - As nursing students, it is sometimes difficult to assimilate exactly what a genuine disaster would be like. So Wednesday, Oral Roberts University's nursing students got a chance to take a dip in to a genuine world. "You go in to it thinking you're fully prepared. You get in here, everything is going crazy. People are running around as well as pretty quickly it all just goes out a air," said ORU nursing student, Ryan Ward. It looks real, but it's all part of a mock disaster situation at Oral Roberts University. Senior nursing studentsin ORU's Anna Vaughn College of Nursingrecreated a Indiana State Fair disaster, where a stage collapsed, murdering 5 people as well as injuring 40 others. It took place on campus early Wednesday in afield between a Learning Resources Center as well as Christ's Chapel. "They have to learn which they can't save everybody, which they have to move on to those which are viable as well as so what we're trying to learn them to do is just really move from one to another as well as stabilize those which they can as well as just do a best they can in saving everybody which can be saved," said ORU nursing instructor Cherly Swanson. With a small help from trained initial responders, a ORU nursing students say this mock experience felt like a genuine deal. "Life as well as death situations for people. You're able to see it initial hand, you know. Seeing kids, you don't know if they need help. You think which they do. You got people which are in vicious situations which they need it immediately. You got to have tough decisions," said Ryan Ward. Swanson additionally hopes this activity will help a students assimilate which more training is a must. AirEvac, Tulsa Police, Tulsa Fire, ORU Campus Police as well as area hospitals all assisted in this exercise. Powered By iWebRSS.co.cc

Public release date: 22-Feb-2012[ | E-mail | Share]Contact: Christopher Jameschristopher.james@nyu.edu212-998-6876New York UniversityHigh-tech, high-fidelity tellurian patient make-believe is being used during NYU to bolster expertise training capacity as well as enhance clinical learning; expertise capacity to teach increases 30 percentTo residence the expertise necessity problem, schools of nursing are reexamining how they yield clinical education to undergraduate students to find ways to use expertise resources some-more efficiently so they can maintain student the number enrolled as well as meet the future need for nurses. To this end, researchers from the New York University College of Nursing (NYUCN), funded with the grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Evaluating Innovations in Nursing Education Program, have just published the description of an evaluation study, "Shifting the Clinical Teaching Paradigm in Undergraduate Nursing Education to Address the Nursing Faculty Shortage," in the on-line book Journal of Nursing Education. The NYUCN researchers, in collaboration with the National Development Research Institute, USA as well as the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, are evaluating the new as well as unique clinical training model, regulating high-fidelity tellurian patient make-believe to partially substitute for traditional clinical training approaches. The new clinical training indication increased expertise capacity by increasing student-to-teacher ratios per semester, but essentially decreases student to teacher ratios in any individual training session, . The prior traditional laboratory as well as sanatorium based direction indication required 4.5 expertise instructors for twenty-four students. With the union of this indication regulating high-fidelity tellurian patient simulation, now only three expertise instructors are needed for the same twenty-four students. Additionally, with the NYUCN model, student organisation sizes decreased by 25% for both hospital-based clinical as well as classroom-based laboratory sessions. "This indication gives us the win-win during the current expertise shortage-- by reducing the demand for high quality clinical instructors while simultaneously reducing the number of students an instructor teaches any make-believe lab or clinical session," pronounced Dr. Hila Richardson, Principal Investigator for the evaluation as well as Clinical Professor for the NYUCN. "We feel some-more confident which patient reserve is protected by allowing closer organisation of students upon the clinical unit as well as scheming them for 'real-life' clinical use in the reserve of the make-believe lab," Dr. Richardson said. The educational advantage of regulating high-fidelity make-believe in conjunction with or as the substitute for hospital-based clinical education is which it provides the safe guidance sourroundings where errors can be made as well as students have time for self-reflection as well as learning. "In the typical high-fidelity clinical experience, students can reason by the clinical situation, make decisions about interventions, as well as make mistakes but harming the patient," pronounced Dr. Mattia J. Gilmartin, the study's co-author as well as NYUCN senior research fellow. "At the finish of the make-believe session, an opportunity for students to reflect upon their performance occurs during the guided debriefing, as well as our students frequently commented which they appreciated the opportunity to use skills as well as vicious thinking in the controlled environment," Dr. Gilmartin said. Students who have had the high-fidelity clinical knowledge often feel some-more confident to work with patients as well as ensure their reserve when they are in the sanatorium setting. Additionally, expertise can feel some-more confident which students have practice across the range of usual clinical situations rsther than than relying upon the ad hoc nature of the sanatorium day to yield the needed practice to meet guidance objectives. "Our await for evaluation of NYU's use of clinical make-believe reflects our idea which the findings will yield vicious evidence of the impact upon training productivity as well as expertise work-life," pronounced Dr. Michael Yedidia, director of the Evaluating Innovations in Nursing Education, the National Program Office of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. "We eagerly await the formula from the controlled evaluation. In the interim, the not long ago published article upon the indication provides useful guidance to those nursing programs considering replication of this model," Dr. Yedieia said. With the new model, students spend half of their clinical days in the simulated clinical guidance experience. The make-believe as well as hospital-based days are scheduled for alternate weeks. For example, the clinical organisation of students would be in make-believe upon week 1 of the semester as well as in the sanatorium or illness caring agency environment upon week 2, rotating back to the make-believe laboratory upon week 3, as well as so on. The clinical expertise remains in the sanatorium environment swapping clinical groups of six students any week, thus supervising the total of twelve students per semester, Before the indication was implemented, the hospital-based expertise supervised 8-10 students any week for the semester. To reinforce the integration of the two experiences, the make-believe knowledge is called an "on-campus" clinical day as well as the sanatorium or illness caring agency knowledge is called an "off-campus" clinical day. Students must follow the same policies for uniform, attendance, preparation, as well as professional behavior in both on-campus as well as off-campus clinical experiences. To the border possible, the off-campus instructors are asked to find patient caring practice which align with both the lecture as well as the make-believe content. "This evaluation of the new clinical training indication will directly contribute as well as positively enhance the current evidence-base of the effects of regulating clinical simulations in nursing education," pronounced Dr. Pamela R. Jeffries, Professor as well as Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing. "I see the integration of clinical simulations to combat the nursing expertise necessity as one of most impactful new models upon the forefront of addressing the Future of Nursing Education report," Dr. Jeffries said. This evaluation will yield the information needed to improved understand how this indication can assist in mitigating the nursing expertise necessity as well as simultaneously allows nursing school the number enrolled to keep pace with future needs. Further, the evaluation should show which when this indication is used as an equally sound as well as valued educational approach, it can enhance the traditional indication of clinical guidance to prepare new nurses for increasingly formidable illness settings.

Nursing students at UConn now have some-more options when looking modernized degrees. Students with a bachelor of science in nursing, rather than a previously required master's grade in nursing, will be able to enter a doctor of nursing use module in a School of Nursing. This "bridge" module takes four years for full-time students and is expected to have its first class graduate in May 2016. It is a only BS-DNP module in Connecticut, according to a UConn Today press release. The BS-DNP module will allow registered nurses to focus upon modernized clinical use while earning their modernized degrees, rather than investigate which is a first component of a nursing Ph.D. program, according to Sandra Bellini, coordinator of a DNP module in a UConn Today press release. "Being able to go from a BS to a DNP module is a great way to ceaselessly challenge a minds of nurses and make them some-more active in a clinical setting," said Alyssa Gersten, a 6th-semester nursing major. "With higher education and some-more experience nurses would be able to benefit respect from other healthcare providers and be seen as a key part in a patient's recovering process," she added. Susie Goch, a 4th-semester nursing student, said "Clinical experience is one of a many important aspects of a nurse's training. A module grounded in clinical use really prepares a nursing tyro for hold up after college." UConn's module offers multiform different focuses for nursing students, including specialization in different career paths, like neonatal helper practitioner, adult-gerontology first caring helper practitioner, adult-gerontology acute caring helper practitioner and family helper practitioner, according to a UConn Today press release. To be eligible to become an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse, as permitted by a American Association of Colleges of Nursing in 2004, students must hold a DNP grade rather than just a master's degree. UConn's School of Nursing module change comes in response to this recommendation. "Being a nursing tyro at a University of Connecticut, I plan to continue my studies and go upon to be an modernized practicing nurse," said Gersten. "This module will help many some-more who also want to achieve their goals and assist in making healthcare a best it can be." Powered By iWebRSS.co.cc

Bergen County is considering offered the 110-bed nursing home in Rockleigh amid concerns which county governments can no longer means to be in the long-term-care business. County Executive Kathleen Donovan pronounced her administration is exploring the nursing home sale as her administration looks for ways to cut expenses in the face of the timorous tax base. The county spent $4.5 million last year to subsidize operations during the Bergen County Health Care Center 130 percent some-more than it cost Bergen taxpayers the decade earlier. Were looking during either we should continue to be in the nursing home business, Donovan said. The subject is: Would the in isolation zone be able to do it some-more efficiently? With most government-run nursing homes financed primarily by dwindling Medicaid reimbursements, Donovan is not the first county official to ask which question. In the past two years, Mercer, Salem as well as Cumberland counties have sold their nursing homes to for-profit companies. Burlington County has scheduled an auction of the facility on March 1, while officials in Sussex have been meeting to discuss the potential sale. In Passaic County, offered or privatizing Preakness Healthcare Center became the political issue between the little Republican freeholder candidates. It really has become an issue for counties across the state, pronounced John Donnadio, executive executive of the New Jersey Association of Counties. The sales have raised concerns about either counties have the duty to say ownership of their nursing homes, even if it costs them money, to safeguard which those who cant means long-term caring have the place to go. The whole history of the county facility was to take in the lowest of the countys residents, pronounced Michele Kent, who ran the state Department of Human Services in the Whitman administration as well as is now boss of LeadingAge, the trade group representing non-profit nursing homes in the state. It is the concern which they become less of the reserve net once they are sold. The county homes predominantly serve Medicaid patients who have tired their assets as well as savings. They sign over their Social Security checks or other pensions, minus the tiny allowance, to the home. By comparison, the median annual cost to patients for the in isolation room in the in isolation nursing home in North Jersey was $124,100 last year. Powered By iWebRSS.co.cc

CHARLESTON, W.Va. Samantha Stewart never questioned whether she would breast-feed her young kids once she became the mother. Hospitals scramble for scarce kids' cancer drug An Ohio drugmaker began releasing limited reserve of the crucial remedy to provide childhood leukemia Thursday, sending sanatorium pharmacists confronting life-threatening shortages scrambling for their share. High arsenic levels found in the little organic foods, baby formula Amid shortages, hospitals trash scarce drugs Star Jones on her weight loss: 'I wasn't plus-size. I was morbidly obese' Short-term wickedness triggers heart attack, stroke The 35-year-old Elkview mother of 4 is pregnant with twins as well as plans to helper them as she did her alternative children. "God created our bodies perfectly. They were designed to feed our young kids with complete nutrition," Stewart said. The Senate Health as well as Human Resources Committee will cruise the bill next week which would allow new mothers such as Stewart to breast-feed in public. Stores, restaurants or museums could not ask them to stop. Another bill introduced this week would excuse the nursing mother from jury duty. West Virginia is one of about 4 states which do not strengthen the woman's right to breast-feed in public. Nebraska passed the similar open nursing law last year as well as Michigan considered the law to excuse nursing mothers from jury duty. Choosing to breast-feed is the large joining for mothers who will need to take care of their babies whether they have been during the work, the mall or during home. Many women don't want the hassle or feel uncomfortable feeding their young kids in open as well as turn to baby formula instead. Stewart doesn't let the shopping trip stop her from feeding her children. And legislation underneath consideration in the state Senate would encourage more women to make which joining to breast-feed, she said. "Everybody has the right to eat which should be no different for an infant. A woman has the right to breast-feed her child no matter where she's at," Stewart said. Stewart pronounced she would not be able to serve on the jury unless the court would let her twins come into the courtroom with her. Babies need to eat every twenty minutes to 3 hours as well as the nursing mother needs to be nearby or able to pump her milk periodically. That time joining often spurs mothers to stop nursing especially when they lapse to work as the little employers offer nowhere for women to pump, pronounced Dawn Kinser, the registered helper as well as certified lactation consultant during Cabell Huntington Hospital. And if the woman has the busy job as well as can't pump often enough, her milk will dry up, Kinser said. Although women can no longer be arrested for breast-feeding in public, the use is still unpopular. Strangers will glare during women who helper in open as well as family members who bottle-fed their own babies may criticize the woman's choice to nurse, Kinser said. About 40 percent of mothers leave Cabell Huntington Hospital nursing their baby. But according to the Centers for Disease Control as well as Prevention, only the quarter of West Virginia mothers have been still breast-feeding their 6-month-old baby. Only three states report fewer women who nurse. Women need something to contend it's OK, Kinser said. "Hopefully it will help. It will bring much-needed attention as well as hopefully enlarge which rate eventually," Kinser pronounced of the bills. Supporters of breast-feeding contend it's both cheaper as well as healthier for both the baby as well as mother than bottle-feeding with formula. Breast-feeding reduces the risk of breast as well as ovarian cancers as well as can reduce the risk of postpartum depression in the mother. The use also shrinks her uterus back to its normal size as well as allows her to lapse to her pre-pregnancy weight faster, Kinser said. For the baby, breast milk can lower the rate of respiratory infections, asthma, obesity, Type 2 diabetes as well as sudden infant death syndrome, Kinser said. "It's there. It's free. It's always the right temperature. You don't have to hope for anything. You don't have to wash dishes," Kinser said. Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Employees during a alternative four comforts continue to work underneath a lapsed contract."The affiliated health caring centers have been dealing with a effects of a large 11.1 percent cut in Medicare reimbursement which took effect on October 1, as well as a potential additional 5 percent cut from a finish of organisation therapy, as have been all skilled nursing centers in Connecticut," association orator Ed Remilard pronounced in a news release. Michelle Baricko, on a picket line Thursday, pronounced which a threat to close West River as well as a alternative nursing homes might be a ploy, "but I didn't think they'd close us out but they did that. This wouldn't just put a workers on a street, but mislay people from their homes."The $700 a month for health insurance is like two paychecks," she said. "Most of us have been single mothers as well as a biggest fear is not being able to put food on a table for a kids."Union president David Pickus pronounced in a letter to HealthBridge profession Jonathan Kaplan on Thursday which a company's explain to be negotiating in great faith is untrue, given it has barely budged from its strange "take it or leave it" offer. The union is adamantly opposed to a closing of any HealthBridge facility.Union spokeswoman Deborah Chernoff pronounced Thursday morning which a company's letter "is nothing short of extortion. They have been holding a caring of 1,200 people hostage. They might as well have cut letters out of a newspaper: `Give me what we wish or else.' "Talks were scheduled for Feb. 23 as well as Feb. 29 before a association referred to which it might apply to close a five facilities. Those talks will likely go forward, Chernoff said. "But we have been confused either we're going to be negotiating over closure or for a brand brand new contract."Remillard pronounced in an email to Hearst Connecticut Media Group which no preference has been made to close any of a facilities. "We will bargain with a union in great faith over a preference to close," he said. "... The union has so far refused to agree to concessions which reflect today's economic realities, which include a cuts in Medicare reimbursement. It remains probable which a union can save a employees' jobs as well as keep a affiliated Health Care Centers open by agreeing to a proposed concessions."If a Danbury facility were to close, Remillard pronounced which officials would "work with a residents as well as their family members to have sure they have a brand brand new home as well as which a transition occurs with as little disruption as possible."HealthBridge has offered employees a 3 percent raise while shortening a workday to 7.5 hours from 8. Employees would no longer have a paid lunch period. While employees with a grant plan could retain it, a association would offer a brand brand new 401(k) plan as well as stop grant contributions, spokeswoman Lisa Crutchfield said.Chernoff pronounced a union has settled contracts with 40 alternative nursing homes in a past year, as well as most of those have employee grant skeleton as well as eight paid hours a day.The process of closing a nursing facility can be lengthy as well as complex. The association contingency file a obligation of need with a state Department of Social Services, a public hearing contingency be held as well as a association would have to prove which there have been enough beds in a state to accept their patients, officials said.Remillard pronounced a five nursing homes wish to negotiate their decisions to close. "It remains probable which a union can save a employees' jobs as well as keep a affiliated health caring centers open by agreeing to a employers' proposed concessions," he said. "The history of how a union has handled these negotiations, however, is not encouraging.''Libor Jany contributed to this report. fjuliano@ctpost.com; 203-520-6986; http://twitter.com/frankjuliano Powered By iWebRSS.co.cc

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- It's a end of Mountain State University's nursing program. After monitoring a program's growing problems since 2004, a state nursing house unanimously voted Thursday to yank MSU's state accreditation as well as shutter a school of nursing. Those decisions take outcome Aug. 31. Senior nursing students scheduled to graduate this academic year will still be able to leave Mountain State with a state-accredited nursing grade as well as sit for a compulsory chartering examination to become registered nurses. Any alternative students in a nursing module must be contacted by MSU officials by March 12 to discuss transferring to a different school of nursing or pursuing an swap grade during MSU, pronounced members of a West Virginia Board of Examiners for Registered Professional Nurses. The termination of a nursing module noted a decisive end to months of uncertainty for MSU nursing students who feared which their years of work would be worthless if a program's accreditation were immediately withdrawn. "I can finally breathe," pronounced Jodie Harris, a comparison normal nursing student during a Beckley campus. "The house made a right decision," she said, wiping tears of service from her eyes. "I just wish to pass my boards, as well as become a nurse as well as not consider about this again." The nursing house -- which consists of Robin Walton, Judy Nystrom, Joyce Egnor, Mary Friel Fanning, Teresa Ritchie, L. Ann Bostic as well as Dr. Mary Farmer -- voted to completely repel MSU's accreditation after school administrators still could not provide a house with complete student annals some-more than a year after MSU was told sloppy bookkeeping was a chief concern. Of a six student annals a house randomly selected to review, two students' annals were incomplete, notwithstanding assurances from MSU staff which a paperwork was being dealt with, pronounced Laura Skidmore Rhodes, executive director of a state nursing board."We keep removing a same improvement plan from administrators, as well as I'm not really seeing a whole lot of results," house part of Egnor told MSU administrators. "You pronounced you've been planning to fix things since November 2010. It's almost reprehensible which some-more hasn't been done."MSU administrators were noticeably jarred by a board's strident condemnation of a school's failures. "We will gladly close down a nursing program, but give a students a chance," pronounced Roslyn Artis, executive vice president of MSU, breaking down into tears. "They are three months away from graduation. We are wrong, we have blown it as well as we will voluntarily take a module down. But these students deserve a chance to pass which test." The nursing house in conclusion concluded with a proposal by a trustees to protect current students months from graduation but pronounced which a eleventh-hour fixes from MSU administrators -- which enclosed firing longtime president Charles Polk in January as well as laying out a school improvement plan -- were not enough to convince state nursing officials which MSU's module was worth saving. "It is a shortcoming to protect a public, as well as when students consistently can't pass this exam, it tells us they might not be ready to take care of patients," pronounced house part of Ritchie. "This has been going upon as well as on. Every time we ask for a report, there's something else, there's an additional problem." Board members additionally expressed concerns about a low pass rates in MSU's various cohort programs. Low test scores were previously identified by state as well as local accrediting bodies as grounds for pulling a program's accreditation. Of a 237 students who took a nursing chartering examination in 2011, only 59 percent passed, according to Rhodes. The normal pass rate for West Virginia is 80.5 percent, pronounced Rhodes. At MSU's Martinsburg campus, a pass rate was 41 percent, as well as during a Beckley campus, a pass rate was 69 percent. The state nursing house placed MSU's nursing module upon provisional accreditation in November 2010, citing a school for a lack of administrative leadership, deficient learning opportunities, loss of national nursing accreditation, failing to make compulsory changes to course curriculum as well as failing to keep present student annals regarding classes as well as students' grade progress. MSU was informed in July 2010 which it had lost national accreditation for its nursing module and, in November, was denied nursing accreditation from an swap accrediting body for failing to residence deficiencies in a program. At a meeting in January, a nursing house voted to extend MSU's provisional accreditation status, but called a actions of MSU officials "inexcusable as well as defenseless." The headlines about Mountain State's state accreditation being withdrawn comes upon a heels of a visit by a Higher Learning Commission, a national accrediting body which provides Mountain State University with its primary accreditation, earlier this week. The HLC placed MSU upon "show cause" standing in a summer of 2011 for issues with governance as well as problems in a school of nursing.A five-member team of a HLC visited a Beckley campus this week to talk to faculty, staff, deans as well as students about leadership during a school as well as some of a ongoing problems which have previously been addressed by accrediting agencies.Reach Amy Julia Harris during amy.har...@wvgazette.com or 304-348-4814.
