    Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General Healthcare Inspection Post-Operative Paralysis Overton Brooks VA Medical Center Shreveport, Louisiana Report No. 10-03462-190 June 8, 2011 VA Office of Inspector General Washington, DC 20420 To Report Suspected Wrongdoing in VA Programs and Operations: Telephone: 1-800-488-8244 E-Mail: [email protected] (Hotline Information: http://www.va.gov/oig/contacts/hotline.asp) Post-Operative Paralysis, Overton Brooks VA Medical Center, Shreveport, Louisiana Executive Summary The VA Office of Inspector General Office of Healthcare Inspections conducted an inspection to determine the validity of an allegation regarding post-operative paralysis at the Overton Brooks VA Medical Center (the medical center), Shreveport, LA. 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.

CCPA is announcing three new committees! Volunteers needed, details inside (pg 12)… CCPA’s email listserver is up and running with over 40 members who have subscribed. Send an email to Greg Williams at [email protected] to be added. Visit Facebook.com and check out the CCPA page, 119 friends and counting! Ward Weakley Scholarship applications are due October 1. Details inside… Back Issues of the newsletter are available on the website at http://www.coloradoarchaeologists.org/BINewsletter.htm President’s Corner Erik Gantt All in all it has been a relatively quiet summer for the CCPA. I think this is largely due to being busy with fieldwork, which is a very good thing. The Executive Committee has been involved in several small issues since the spring including renewing our membership for The Archaeology Channel (see link in this newsletter), distributing some of the remaining Ancient Colorado publications, and setting up the Fall 2010 committee meeting. Probably the biggest news of the summer is that Susan Collins will be retiring from her position as State Archaeologist and deputy SHPO in October. I would like to personally thank Susan for all of her hard work during her tenure. The archaeology of Colorado has been served well by her efforts.

  • Fact Sheet: the House Health Repeal Bill's Impact on Pennsylvania
    Fact Sheet: The House Health Repeal Bill’s Impact on Pennsylvania A year ago, a majority of the House of Representatives, including Representatives Mike Kelly, Scott Perry, Glenn Thompson, ​ ​ Bill Shuster, Tom Marino, Lou Barletta, Keith Rothfus, Lloyd Smucker, and Tim Murphy, voted for and passed the so-called “American Health Care Act,” or AHCA, a health repeal bill that would have cut coverage, increased costs, and eliminated protections for hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians. The bill would have imposed an “age tax,” letting insurers charge people over 50 five times more for coverage, and put the health of one in five Americans on Medicaid in jeopardy, including seniors, children, and people with disabilities. While Pennsylvanians would have lost out, the wealthy and insurance and drug companies would have gotten $600 billion in new tax breaks. AHCA Meant Pennsylvanians Would Have Lost Coverage 777,000 Pennsylvanians Would Have Lost Coverage. In 2026, 777,000 Pennsylvanians would have lost coverage under ​ ​ ​ this bill. 371,800 With Medicaid Would Have Lost Coverage. Under the American Health Care Act, 371,800 Pennsylvanians with ​ Medicaid would have lost their coverage. ​ ​ 10,800 Veterans in Pennsylvania Would Have Lost Coverage. Under the American Health Care Act, 10,800 veterans in ​ Pennsylvania would have lost their Medicaid coverage. ​ ​ AHCA Meant Pennsylvanians Would Have Paid Higher Costs, Especially Older Pennsylvanians Raise Premiums By Double Digits. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found that a key part of the American ​ Health Care Act, repealing the requirement that most people have health insurance, will premiums 10 percent next year. ​ ​ Though the AHCA never became law, Congressional Republicans managed to enact these changes through the GOP tax bill.
