Enforcing Ag's Agreements Alongside Infirmary Systems
Monday, October 11, 2010
Bruce Mohl at Commonwealth Magazine reports that the soil of Massachusetts has started "to assess $1,000-a-week fines on Steward Health Care for failing to plow over to regulators the company’s audited fiscal statements, amongst the electrical current tab standing at $12,000" This floor is the latest chapter dating dorsum to August. Back hence I made a suggestion:
Back inwards Oct 2010, when the Attorney General recommended approving of Steward's takeover of the Caritas Christi infirmary system, she was able to acquire the next agreement:
"Steward, together with whatsoever successor-in-interest to Steward, will, all the same its for-profit status, fully cooperate amongst whatsoever investigation, inquiry, study, report, or evaluation conducted past times the Attorney General nether her oversight ascendency of the non-profit charitable infirmary manufacture to the same extent together with dependent plain to the same protections together with privileges equally if Steward were a populace charity."
So all it takes is for the Attorney General to denote to Steward that she wants this data equally share of a articulation study amongst CHIA. Perhaps she volition brand that offering to CHIA.
The Attorney General is the lawyer for soil agencies. Why her purpose is non mentioned inwards the electrical current floor equally supporting CHIA inwards this regard is problematic. This seems to endure share of designing of inability to enforce, inwards that Steward has too acted to closed ane of its acquired hospitals (Quincy Medical Center) earlier the allowed menstruum stated inwards the agreement.
If this unproblematic ready of commitments can't endure enforced past times the AG, imagine how hard it volition endure to enforce the much to a greater extent than complicated proposed short town amongst Partners Healthcare System. I promise the AG-elect is watching closely together with is learning the lesson, together with chooses to withdraw the PHS understanding from the Court.
