Last week’s letter by the Board of Trustees regarding Dr Hutchison being a liar caught me by surprise! I feel that he has asked good questions that has not been answered. I challenge the board to answer questions. Will this make me a liar? I will take my chances.
1.Why is the CMS rating still a 1?
2.Why are we paying a doctor for gastro $900,000 when we could have had two surgeons?
3.Why are we paying any doctor over a million?
4.Why does it appear we have an issue with Medicare getting paid?
5.Do you have any comment about HIPPA violations?
6.Why are we paying $400,000 to Carron ... he doesn’t work there?
7.Why do we have to merge with Mercy?
8.Why does PCMH have to have 2 boards? One good board would be good enough.
9.I heard they are going to close Medx and home health, what else are we going to lose?
10.My last question, are you going to answer these questions? Other than say “We can’t talk about it”
We need transparency
