Blunders cost hospital accreditation, money
The Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. — The hospital where a man lost the wrong leg and another patient was mistakenly removed from a ventilator was stripped yesterday of the accreditation it needed to continue receiving millions in federal funds.
The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations took the action 10 days after a surprise review. The panel issued a statement announcing the punishment and wouldn't elaborate on its findings.
University Community hospital, one of three major hospitals in the Tampa area, has 20 days to appeal. In the meantime, it will retain the accreditation it received two years ago with high marks — a score of 95 out of 100.
Without accreditation, the hospital cannot qualify for Medicare and Medicalaid reimbursement. The hospital last year received $52 million from the government programs — about one-third of its patient revenue.
Officials at the 424-bed private, not-for-profit hospital did not immediately return a call yesterday.
The hospital's problems began Feb. 20 when doctors amputated below the knee the wrong leg of 51-year-old diabetic Willie King.
Less than two weeks later, Leo Alfonso, 77, died after a technician mistakenly removed him from a ventilator, thinking he was another patient.
Later investigations revealed
other mistakes, including an arthroscopic surgery performed on the wrong knee of a patient in February and a tubal ligation performed without consent that left a woman partially sterilized.
The American Medical Association wants to use the hospital as an example of how a hospital should not operate. It has called on the private accreditation board to release its findings and recommendations.
"Maybe the situation at the Tampa hospital was unique," said AMA President-elect Lonnie Bristow. "But if it's not, we want to make sure everyone can learn from it."
Another threat to the hospital's funding loans from the federal Health Care Financing Administration, which controls distribution of Medicare and Medicaid money. It has set an April 20 deadline for a state team to inspect the hospital and determine if it has problems that pose an immediate and serious threat to patients.
Six days ago, the state banned all elective surgery at the hospital. Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration shut down the hospital's operating rooms for all but emergency cases after investigators last week discovered what it said were sloppy procedures that jeopardized patient safety.
State officials said the ban wouldn't be lifted until the operating rooms were deemed safe and staff members and all 326 surgeons who use the hospital received a review of proper operating room safety procedures.
Suit alleges club refused to admit Black customers
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Justice Department accused a Louisiana nightclub yesterday of refusing to admit Blacks, including a federal prosecutor.
A civil suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Shreveport, La., alleged that the owners of La Poussiere nightclub in Breaux Bridge, La., violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The Black prosecutor, Zaldwaynaka "Zec" Scott, and her two white colleagues, Helene Greenwald and Matthew Bettenhausen, filed a separate suit yesterday seeking $100,000 in compensatory damages and $100,000 in punitive damages.
All three are assistant U.S. attorneys in Chicago. They sought to enter the nightclub April 16, 1994, while they were visiting Louisiana for a conference.
"Over three decades ago, Congress spoke for all decent Americans by making it illegal to exclude people from places like this because of their skin color," said Assistant Attorney General Deval L. Patrick, head of the civil rights division. "It is startling that 30 years later this club still hasn't gotten the message."
The government said that when the prosecutors reached the club, two remained in the car while Greenwald
walked to the door to see if the club was open. The person at the door said it was open, with a $2 cover charge.
But when Greenwald returned with Scott, a Shreveport native, the person at the door said they could not enter because their was a private party at the club, the government said.
Greenwald then asked three white customers who were approaching the club if they were there for a private party and was told they were not, but she saw them admitted after paying the $2 cover, the private suit said.
The person at the door then told Greenwald that the three prosecutors had been denied entry because Scott was Black, the private suit said.
The Justice Department said no investigation begun by a complaint from the three prosecutors showed the club had denied Blacks entry on other occasions by claiming there was a private party.
U. S. Attorney Michael D. Skinner said, "Unlawful racial discrimination remains a problem throughout the country as well as here in Louisiana. We hope by taking legal action such as this we will stop the despicable practice of denying access to public facilities solely because of the color of one's skin."
