A complainant alleged that a patient could not move his lower extremities after the insertion of an epidural catheter (small hollow tube used to inject anesthetic between the spinal canal and spinal cord). The complainant believed that the catheter caused the patient’s paralysis. We did not substantiate the allegation. However, we found that the patient’s paralysis may have resulted from a prolonged period of hypotension (low blood pressure) in the intensive care unit (ICU). We concluded that the hypotension was poorly monitored and should have been treated more aggressively. During our review, we found that ICU nursing staff did not document required patient assessments. There was no documentation of the mean arterial pressures needed to adjust medications prescribed for low blood pressure, no documentation of the epidural catheter or of neurological assessments, and inconsistent documentation of verbal orders and administered medications. In addition, we found that the medical center’s system of reporting and evaluating adverse events needed improvement.

  • Motion to Dismiss Complaint
    PUBLIC UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BEFORE THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION 11 27 2017 _______________________________________ 588835 In the Matter of Louisiana Real Estate Appraisers Board, Docket No. 9374 Respondent _______________________________________ MOTION TO DISMISS COMPLAINT Pursuant to Rule 3.22 of the Commission Rules of Practice, Respondent Louisiana Real Estate Appraisers Board (“LREAB” or the “Board”), through undersigned counsel, hereby moves the Commission to dismiss the Part 3 Administrative Complaint, dated May 30, 2017. Oral argument is requested. To summarize the grounds for this Motion set forth in the accompanying Memorandum of Points and Authorities, the Board states as follows: 1. The actions of the Board are State actions that are immune from federal antitrust scrutiny under Cal. Retail Liquor Dealers Assn. v. Midcal Aluminum, Inc., 445 U.S. 97, 105-06 (1980). Louisiana law clearly articulates the intent to displace competition in the market for residential real estate appraisal fees by requiring enforcement of the obligation of Appraisal Management Companies (“AMCs”) to compensate residential appraisers at “customary and reasonable” (“C&R”) rates, and the State of Louisiana actively supervises the Board’s regulatory activities. 2. Under an Executive Order issued by the Governor of the State of Louisiana on July 11, 2017, the Board has repromulgated its C&R fee rule under newly-required active supervision of the Commissioner of Administration—who has authority to approve, reject, or modify the 1 PUBLIC Board-proposed regulation—in addition to supervision by oversight subcommittees of the Louisiana Senate and House Commerce Committees and the Governor. Through this active supervision, the State of Louisiana reaffirmed that the Board’s C&R fee regulation serves Louisiana’s policy of protecting the integrity of residential mortgage appraisals by requiring that AMCs pay customary and reasonable fees for such appraisals.

Risk Analysis means an economic risk analysis that: a) Identifies the most likely and substantial risk that could cause the state of Utah to experience a reduction in the amount or value of federal funds it receives; b) Assesses, for each identified risk, the probability that the risk will actually occur; c) Assesses the direct and indirect impacts to the state of Utah, given the occurrence of each identified risk, including the amount or value of the reduction in the federal funds to the state; and d) Identifies and recommends methods that state can employ to avoid, minimize, and monitor the impacts of each identified risk. Please note that we have categorized risks by type and provided a subjective estimate of probability. The list is compiled based on judgment rather than modeling or other methods. This effort is not intended to be predictive as none of the risks identified may come to fruition. The purpose is, however, to identify potentially catastrophic risks and describe potential impacts with a cursory review of possible mitigation opportunities.

  • June 16, 2014 Honorable Barack Obama President of the United
    June 16, 2014 Honorable Barack Obama President of the United States The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: As Governors leading diverse States that both produce and consume energy, we ask that you pursue a pragmatic energy policy that balances our nation’s economic needs, energy security, and environmental quality objectives. As you know, the energy industry is a major source of job creation in our country, providing employment to millions of our citizens and bolstering U.S. economic competitiveness. America was able to meet almost 90 percent of its energy needs last year—the most since March 1985—in large part because of increased domestic energy production. We take pride in the fact that domestic production largely powers America and increasingly other economies as well, helping to eradicate poverty and to provide political stability around the globe. Development of our resources has put more money in the pockets of working families and has helped the poor and elderly on fixed incomes, who can now more easily afford to run their air conditioning in the heat of the summer. For example, American natural gas production is reducing average retail electricity prices by 10 percent, saving households, on average, nearly $1,000 per year between 2012 and 2015. This significant accomplishment of increased U.S. energy independence, with its associated economic and health benefits, has been achieved largely by State policies—despite redundant and burdensome federal regulation. Your proposed rules for regulating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from existing power plants and redefining the Waters of the United States (WOTUS) would unnecessarily expand federal authority over the States in energy policymaking and risk undermining our success.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contacts: Deborah Sternberg [email protected] (225) 236-7227 New Orleans Saints Salute True Saints in Louisiana – Essential Workers Team partners with 19 Thanks in video tribute to essential workers promoting statewide virtual event on May 19 at 19:00 (7 pm) Baton Rouge – (May 15, 2020) – The New Orleans Saints have partnered with nonprofit 19 Thanks to salute essential workers across Louisiana in a new online video starring three members of the Saints football team – Offensive Tackle Ryan Ramczyk, Defensive Tackle Sheldon Rankins, and Linebacker Alex Anzalone. The three players begin the video by saying they know Saints when they see them, and they’re everywhere in Louisiana. “We see them in our hospitals and clinics. We see them in our fire departments and police stations. They are stocking our shelves, delivering our meals, keeping us safe and protected.” Anzalone, Rankins, and Ramczyk then encourage everyone across Louisiana to join together on Tuesday, May 19 at 19:00 hours (7 pm) to make some noise, march in place and have a virtual second line of thanks for our front line workers. “We’re going to blast ‘When The Saints Go Marching In’ from every home,” Ramczyk says. The New Orleans Saints are the latest in a growing list of 19 Thanks advocates from around the state. More than twenty-five musicians - including Branford Marsalis, Kix Brooks and Amanda Shaw - have submitted videos of their rendition of “When The Saints Go Marching In” to be featured in a 19-minute video tribute to essential workers in Louisiana on the night of May 19.
