California Hospitals Face Hefty Fines for Gross Violations

In a recent report, it had been confirmed that as many as 13 hospitals have been found violating rules, which has even caused some or the other type of injury to people as well. It was confirmed that in total, $825,000 were collected through fine, including $75,000 from the UC San Diego Medical Center.

It was further told that in case of the UC San Diego Medical Center, a woman was moved out of the hospital despite the patient suffering from health concerns. This incident had shocked one and all with such insensitive attitude being imposed on patients.

Among the reasons for the violations were medical error, patient safety errors or patient care violations and foreign objects kept while doing surgery. Looking at the severity of the violations, there are reports that indicate that California's Center for Health Care Quality would be making a new set of guidelines which would be solely focused to avert such violations.

"This is a very high priority for the department. Our hope is to finalize there regulations so they can be implemented in 2013”, said Debby Rogers, Deputy Director of the Center for Health Care Quality, to utsandiego. com, while making it all the more clear that there is need for improvements’ to be made in the same context soon.
