Officials get hospital inspection results
By Sara Jeanblanc | September 5, 2001As a result of new findings, more changes may be in store for the University Medical Center. A report issued yesterday by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, found deficiencies in the Medical Center during a full-hospital inspection, completed July 12. The Medical Center now has 10 days to issue a "plan of correction" outlining measures the hospital will take to remedy the deficiencies, said Marguerite Beck, spokeswoman for the Medical Center. Once the University devises a plan, the report will be sent back to CMS. "At the point where we receive the plan of correction we can disclose the report to the public," CMS spokeswoman Carol Messick said in a statement released yesterday.
