Without taking this uncertainty into account, we cannot conclude that a hospital with a measure rate that is higher or lower than the group rate is truly performing at a worse or better rate than the group. Statisticians use confidence intervals to account for this uncertainty.

  • 90-Day Notice of Intent to Discontinue Services
    June 29, 2020 Via Email Sherman Lohnes, Esq., Director Division of Health Care Facility Licensure and Certification Bureau of Health Care Safety and Quality Department of Public Health 67 Forest Street Marlborough, MA 01752 Re: Holyoke Medical Center, Inc. – Formal 90-Day Essential Service Notice – Closure of Inpatient Obstetrics/Maternity Services and Well Infant Nursery Dear Attorney Lohnes: We write on behalf of Holyoke Medical Center, Inc. (the “Medical Center” or “HMC”). Pursuant to 105 CMR 130.122(B), the Medical Center hereby provides ninety (90) day notice to the Department of Public Health (“Department”) of its decision to discontinue its operation of its Inpatient Obstetrics/Maternity Service and its bassinet Well Infant Nursery service (the “Services”). This letter is in follow-up to the required initial notices that were filed with the appropriate parties on May 29, 2020. We offer the following comments with respect to this matter. The Medical Center has determined that the Services should be closed due to low utilization for the past several years. Without a higher caseload of obstetric/maternity and infant patients, the professional skills and competence of the Medical Center’s physicians and staff have the potential to not be sufficiently preserved or developed, particularly in matters involving complications such as emergency C-sections. In addition, without a critical volume, further investments in the Services are financially not feasible. A hospital cannot maintain clinically thriving and financially sound obstetrical/maternity and nursery services if few patients choose to use them and, instead, obtain care from other providers. Patient choice in the service area is the main driver of these considerations.

  • Introduction
    15 Introduction The Neonatal (newborn) Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of the Floating Hospital for Children is a 40-bed unit designed to provide highly specialized and technically advanced care to ill, premature, or high-risk babies. Skilled nurses, physicians, nurse practitioners and respiratory therapists staff the unit. This team of health care providers function together to provide the finest and most comprehensive care possible for your newborn. Some of the babies admitted to the NICU are born here at Tufts Medical Center, and some are born in community hospitals and then transported to us by members of our Neonatal Transport Team. Babies are admitted to the NICU for many reasons. Whatever the reason for admission, a wide range of pediatric subspecialty services is readily available for your newborn if necessary. Some of our specialty services include newborn medicine, pediatric cardiology, pediatric surgery, pediatric neurology, pediatric otolaryngology, pediatric urology and many others, all available 24-hours/day. Soon after admission, your baby will be assigned a primary nurse and will be assigned to a team of physicians on the newborn medicine service. Tufts Medical Center is the principal teaching hospital for Tufts University School of Medicine; there are many doctors at various levels of specialty training who will be involved with your baby’s care. At all times, the attending physician is ultimately responsible for the medical care your baby receives. If you have already chosen a pediatrician, please give his or her name to your baby’s nurse. Once identified, the pediatrician will receive routine updates, about once a week, while your baby is in the NICU.
