Hospital systems around the country are experiencing shortages around the country, and what appears to be happening is that there are fewer and fewer patients to take care of leading to hospitals to layoff or furloughing employees.
Some hospitals have said that the cuts that they have made have not affected patients directly, which would assume the cuts they have made are maybe janitor or cafeteria positions, something to that effect.
In my personal experience, I have noticed a drop-off in not only the number of patients but the number of nurses on site.
Hospitals have changed in some ways, however, that could be because of insurance coverage and how the insurance companies pay for things.
In almost any surgery you have in an out-patient surgery.
I know of women who have had mastectomies and were released from the hospital that same day.
The insurance companies don’t make patients’ or medical professionals’ jobs easy, it gets worse all the time.
It’s not just hospitals It’s also nursing homes as well. Nursing homes are trying to run their place of business like a rehab facility but insurance companies are trying to keep nursing homes as nursing homes, not good if you want to make people’s lives better instead of Institutionalizing them.
Insurance companies have too much control over a patient’s well-being. We must have tougher laws for insurance companies, there needs to be tougher legislation for insurance companies to take the power away from them.
Another factor that’s holding up hospitals in the past few months has been cyber hackers breaking into hospital computer systems across the country.
Corwell Health and a few other big hospital systems have been hacked however some hospitals have only had minor issues with the cyber breach.
