Ms. Jones: 33 births per year is a little over one every two weeks. I would like you to investigate an allegation that the staff of the OB section refused to be reassigned to other parts of the hospital when there was no need for them in the OB. If this were true, there would be several highly paid medical personnel sitting around on their hands doing nothing while there are other needs in the hospital. They might say that they have to be ready at a moments notice but I'm sure they could be called back quickly if the need arrived. I am not willing to support the nurses if they are not willing to work with the hospital management when there is no need in the OB. I look forward to an article addressing this question.
The ceo meguire I,ve lost confidence in as well becky.. no one wants to work for a narcissistic only cares about her Mercedes payments leader. I wouldn’t nurse bash and blame every one of them for a few bad ones but that does need proving as u pointed out..
It is my understanding that in addition to the financial hurdle, there is an inability to retain credentialing due to the low numbers of births…. so fundraising alone will not solve this problem?
Credentialing for what, payers for reimbursement, providers for hospital privileges, or false assumption around professional malpractice coverage? The myths running amuck are ridiculous. As someone that consults nationwide on midwifery and how to address the critical workforce shortage and maternal health WORSENING crises, the beliefs one cannot keep small units open with skilled providers is nothing less than a smoke screen. You think an Emergency Room team TRAINED in perinatal care (prior to and after birth) are going to more safely manage walk-in’s, you are seriously mistaken. How many near miss events will it take to believe the voices of those who specialize in this work?

Cut the ceo pay.
