A couple of weeks earlier, her doctor had discovered a lump in Sandra’s breast. At the suggestion of her good friend, Sandra went to Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale-New Haven where she met with Anees Chagpar, MD, director of the Breast Center at Smilow for an exam and more testing. Sandra recalls her first thoughts. This can’t be...

The morning after that life-changing phone call, Sandra, along with six supportive family members, headed into Smilow to talk about next steps. “First, Dr. Chagpar hugged me. She comforted me. Then, she explained what my test results revealed. She took her time, drew pictures and diagrams, answered questions and explained possible scenarios. Dr. Chagpar was so patient and attentive that she made me feel as if I was her one and only patient.” Next steps would include four months of chemotherapy, then surgery to remove the tumor followed by radiation treatments.

  • A Debt Past Due at Yale-New Haven Hospital
    Forward A Debt Past Due is a companion report to Refusing to Care: Why the Yale-New Haven Health System turns away those who can’t pay. Together these reports are the latest examina- tions of the treatment of the uninsured and underinsured within the Yale-New Haven Health System. They were produced for the Hospital Debt Justice Project (HDJP), a joint initiative of the Connecticut Center for a New Economy (CCNE) and the New England Health Care Employees Union, District 1199/SEIU. The HDJP works on behalf of patients whose lives have been adversely affected by the unfair billing and overly aggressive collections practices of the Yale-New Haven Health System, the largest health system in Connecticut. The work of the HDJP developed out of a series of research reports published by CCNE. Previous reports about Yale-New Haven, available online at www.hospitaldebtjustice.org, include: • Uncharitable Care: Yale-New Haven Hospital’s charity care and collections practices • Coming to a Town Near You? Charity and collections at Bridgeport Hospital, member of Yale-New Haven Health • “Yale, Don’t Lien On Me”: The attack on homeownership by the Yale-New Haven Health System and Yale School of Medicine · A Debt Past Due The need for more charity care reform at Yale-New Haven Health EXECUTIVE SUMMARY For Yale-New Haven Hospital (YNHH), 2003 and 2004 were marked by public investigation of its questionable administration of millions in charity donations and its heartless collection practices against patients who couldn’t afford their hospital bills.1 In the aftermath, the Hospital has sought to salvage its image by portraying itself as a charitable health care provider to all, announcing reforms, denouncing prior criticism, and insisting that all problems have been resolved.

  • Stamford Hospital Medical and Ancillary Staff Education Manual
    Stamford Hospital Medical and Ancillary Staff Education Manual Stamford Hospital is subject to oversight by several different regulatory agencies. Physicians must be knowledgeable about regulations promulgated by these organizations The Joint Commission, OSHA, State of Connecticut, CMS, CDC, et cetera which apply to their Hospital activities. This document is a summary of pertinent information. The Joint Commission The Joint Commission operates an accreditation program for hospitals and other types of health care providers. The Joint Commission’s primary purposes are to improve the quality and safety of patient care and to accredit facilities as having met a comprehensive set of standards required for reimbursement under the federally-mandated entitlement programs including Medicare and Medicaid. OSHA The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has developed standards that mandate certain actions designed to protect health care workers against infectious hazards from blood and body fluids, including blood borne pathogens such as Hepatitis B and HIV. These standards can be found in the yellow Infection Control Manuals on all patient care units here at Stamford Hospital, and in an online version of this manual in the Infectious Disease folder. I. CARE OF PATIENTS AND PATIENT RIGHTS RESTRAINTS There is a defined protocol for management of patients who require restraints. Restraints are avoided if at all possible as they render the patient helpless and dependent. Restraints should be removed as soon as a less restrictive method of assuring the patient's and safety of others becomes feasible. PHILOSOPHY The approach to restraint and seclusion at Stamford Hospital is protecting the patient's health and safety in the least restrictive environment while preserving their dignity, rights and well-being.
