Decertification and no federal funds for this hospital as a result of not taking care of the patient. The action was all recorded on surveillance video showing hospital staff watching television and playing cards just a few feet away as mentioned in an earlier post and he died as a result of lack of care. Two other staff members were accused of beating another patient as well. Budget reforms have not left much money for the hospital system. BD
GOLDSBORO (AP) - The state mental hospital where a patient died after caretakers left him sitting in a chair for 22 hours can no longer receive federal funds, state regulators announced Thursday. The decision by the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to decertify Cherry Hospital in Goldsboro means the state won't receive $800,000 a month in Medicaid and Medicare treatment dollars. The decision had been expected. The state Department of Health and Human Services said 10 days ago that inspectors who examined Cherry late last month would recommend decertification.
