257. HOSPITAIS INGLESES A METER ÁGUA

CARTESIANO FICAL DE SAÚDE



A PRESSÃO SOBRE OS HOSPITAIS PARA APRESENTAR RESULTADOS SEM MEIOS PARA ISSO RESULTA EM FALHANÇOS MONSTRUOSOS NO TRATAMENTO A PESSOAS COM CÂNCER E EM RISCO DE VIDA,

DEVIDO AO ATRASO NO TRATAMENTO, MAS ELES MUDADAVAM AS DATAS DOS ATRASOS E ASSIM ESTAVA TUDO BEM, NÃO HAVIA ATRASO NENHUM! SÓ QUE OS PACIENTES TALVEZ ESTIVESSEM A IR DESTA PARA MELHOR.

ISTO É QUE ACONTECE QUANDO SE QUER RENTABILIZAR TUDO, PASSAR PARA O PRIVADO.

QUALQUER DIA ATÉ VÃO COMEÇAR POR AÍ A MATAR A TORTO E A DIREITO SÓ PARA FAZREM SUBIR AS AÇÕES EM BOLSA DOS CANGALHEIROS! VIVA A DEMOCRACIA DAS BANANAS!

Lembre-se que deverá sempre consultar o artigo em inglês porque nós pomos linhas do bolso, quer dizer que tentamos expandir o defeito para melhor de ver.

Todavia, também neste caso parece ter havido irregularidades enormes.

Espero que não pague o justo pelo pecador, porque acreditamos que a maior parte do pessoal médico presta um serviço de alta qualidade e muito apreciado pelo público. 

O problema surge quando a política começa a marrar com essa gente e a destabilizar uma função muito sensível, a qual  requer muita concentração e precaução.


Colchester General Hospital: Police probe cancer treatment

Police are to investigate failures at an Essex hospital's cancer unit after reports of delayed treatment and bullying by managers.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) carried out an unannounced inspection at Colchester General Hospital in August and September.
It discovered patient records had not been kept up to date, resulting in failures in treatment.
Chief executive Dr Gordon Coutts said: "We are very concerned by the report."
"We are truly sorry that in some cases cancer patients, their carers and families have not always received the high quality of care that they should have expected from our trust," he said.

It is shocking to think that people's lives may have been put at risk for the sake of the waiting time figures”
Prof Sir Mike RichardsChief inspector of hospitals
The chief inspector of hospitals, Prof Sir Mike Richards, has recommended that Colchester Hospital University NHS Foundation Trust be put into special measures, which means a new management team will be brought in or another trust put in charge.
He said: "It is shocking to think that people's lives may have been put at risk for the sake of the waiting time figures.
"Every year around 6,000 people go to Colchester Hospital University NHS Foundation Trust to be treated for cancer. It is essential that people in north Essex can have confidence in their hospital."
Delayed treatment
The CQC said inspectors visited the trust after receiving complaints about waiting times for cancer treatment.
It said some patients did not get their treatment within the required 62 days, and in three cases delays exceeded 100 days.
"Six people described problems experienced in their treatment including delays in receiving care," the report said.
"The provider did not have adequate systems to maintain the safety and welfare of cancer patients."

Analysis

The story of Colchester Hospital is a battle over patient safety versus reputation.
Ever since the trust which runs Colchester Hospital was named among 14 with higher than expected death rates in February, it has been fighting to regain its reputation for excellence.
Many hospitals inspected by Sir Bruce Keogh readily conceded failing and went into special measures.
Colchester escaped and with some good reason. Its finances are in good shape, and inspectors found fewer issues on the wards and in the operating theatres.
Since the summer, the hospital has felt the pressure. It is desperate to persuade the Keogh Review action team that improvements are being made.
But in July there was a blip.
Monthly performance data should be a sea of green showing the hospital was meeting targets. But after a year of meeting its cancer targets, those targets were breached and the chart turned to red.
The latest CQC inspection has further dented its reputation.
Medical records and details of appointments had been changed to give the impression they had been treated within national guidelines.
But the inaccuracies meant that people were at increased risk of delayed treatment.
The CQC identified 22 cases where patients did experience delays in their care.
Essex Police said it had been contacted by the Care Quality Commission and was "reviewing information" to "establish whether a criminal investigation is necessary".
Staff bullied
The CQC said it reported its findings to police "due to the serious failings identified".
"We found that the concerns raised by staff in relation to changes made to people's cancer pathways were not appropriately managed, investigated or responded to by senior staff of the trust," it said.
"Staff we spoke to provided examples of bullying and harassment by the management team in respect of changes of the cancer pathways.
"We found that managers did not show clear leadership in a way that ensured the safety and welfare of patients by providing a high quality of care."
An internal trust investigation in 2012 identified concerns, hospital bosses failed to investigate the allegations thoroughly or follow up with the patients who were affected, the CQC said.
Royal College of Nurses regional director Karen Webb said: "The CQC report concerning Colchester Hospital does chime with concerns we have voiced on behalf of nurses about the culture at the trust in the last couple of years.
"It is right that the hospital is placed in special measures."
