Another hospital in trouble...losing money...BD
Aliquippa Community Hospital has five months to meet state licensing requirements or be closed, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Department of Health said on Monday. The troubled Beaver County hospital has had its license downgraded every six months for the past two years, according to department spokesman Dan Miller. The hospital's license will be revoked in February if a raft of deficiencies are not corrected.
"We hope they do come out of it," Miller said. Among the violations found during an inspection in June were improper handling of patient records, infection control issues and record keeping deficiencies. The hospital was fined $62,500 for the violations, Miller said.
