The Truth about Hospital Group Purchasing

The catalyst

​Excerpt of interview, SafeCare magazine, 3rd Quarter 2016
Sarju Bharucha, JD, Editor-in-Chief: In all your years working in patient safety, what has surprised you most?
Yisrael Safeek, MD, MBA: The biggest coming to mind is an inspection visit to a “world renowned” hospital when I was with The Joint Commission. When I say “world renowned” I’m referring to a top 10 rating in the nation…rated by others of course. The hospital’s leadership constantly kept reminding the inspection team of these ratings. That all sounds fine until you know that the hospital had over 250 findings after a five day inspection.
​          They had patient safety lapses like using concentrated heparin to flush central lines, lack of two person handoff from the blood bank, blood administration without staff present in the initial moment, pharmacy not reviewing pre-procedure orders for medications, no post-procedure retrospective review, medications drawn up and mixed in a syringe and stored for later use without the strength of the dose on the label, lack of defined processes for prompt resolution of patient grievances, just to name a few. 
          I can tell you of another occasion when we …the inspection team…arrived at this great Midwestern health system and was asked to go home. Days earlier ahead of Joint Commission survey, the health system was visited by the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid and had over 1,000 findings. Some involved rape of a patient in a psych ward. Truly sad.
