Die Gemeinsame Kommission setzt alle regulären Vermessungen aus

Die Gemeinsame Kommission gab gestern, am 16. März, bekannt, dass sie angesichts der Erklärung des nationalen Notstands von Präsident Trump in Bezug auf COVID-19 die Arbeit der Krankenhäuser zur Vorbereitung und Versorgung von Patienten während dieser Pandemie nicht beeinträchtigen wird. Die Gemeinsame Kommission setzt ab dem 16. März 2020 alle regulären Vermessungen aus. Derzeit hat die Kommission kein voraussichtliches Wiederaufnahmedatum. Alle verschobenen Umfrageereignisse finden statt, sobald der normale Betrieb wieder aufgenommen wird. Wenn eine Organisation ihr Akkreditierungsdatum überschreitet, wird die Akkreditierung ohne Unterbrechung ihres Akkreditierungsstatus verlängert. Die Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services haben versichert, dass der Medicare-Zahlungsstatus ebenfalls nicht beeinträchtigt wird.

Bericht über die Nutzungsindikatoren für das Kalenderjahr 2019

The report includes summaries of admissions, discharges, patient days, neonatal and newborn admissions and patient days, emergency department visits, and ambulatory surgeries. Inpatient admissions for acute and specialty care remained relatively stable with only slight declines for the year of 1.5% and 1.2% respectively. There was a statistically significant decrease in ED visits in 2019. The principal cause appears to be the closure of the Providence Hospital Emergency Department in April 2019. Other hospitals  throughout the city experienced disproportionate changes. When compared with 2018, four hospitals had decreased ED visits and four had increased ED visits. In 2019 there were 470,719 visits – a decrease of 7.2% compared to 2018.

DCHA Statement Regarding Racial Injustice

The events of this past week around racial injustice have weighed heavily on all of us here at the District of Columbia Hospital Association. The tragic loss of George Floyd (MN), Breonna Taylor (KY) and Ahmaud Arbery (GA) weighs heavy on our hearts and the hurt being felt by so many people is palpable. Because of a lack of progressive change when it comes to equity in health care, economic opportunity and other systemic issues of racial disparity, we have reached a tipping point. The root of the injustice and disparities being protested is a reality we must face and work to resolve. We see it, hear it, experience it.

DCHA believes that diversity, equity and inclusion are as important as ever. We support peaceful protests but do not condone intolerance, racism, violence or discrimination. We support our hospitals as places of healing and are committed to the well-being of ALL citizens – no matter their color, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, background or values.

Each of us must be more vigilant in doing the work of promoting acceptance and being accountable. We cannot and will not accept hate in any form. The senseless killings and day-to-day injustices inflicted upon individuals simply because of their skin color must end now.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.     — Martin Luther King, Jr.

DCHA Statement Regarding Transgender Nondiscrimination

Recently the Trump Administration rolled back regulations prohibiting discrimination against our transgender patients, family members, associates and friends. The District of Columbia Hospital Association (DCHA) and its member hospitals are committed to treating all individuals that walk through our doors with dignity, respect and compassion no matter their race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, beliefs or values. This commitment to providing a caring environment echoes through our hallways, operating rooms and emergency departments every day of the year.

Fifty-one years after Stonewall, we believe it’s important to make it clear that discrimination has no place in our society and certainly not in our hospitals. Our member hospitals are committed to fostering a safe environment that celebrates the diversity of our LGBTQIA associates and patients.

April 2020 Utilization Report

COVID-19 affected many service lines in DC hospitals during the month of April 2020. The graphs and tables in this report show the impact as reflected in utilization metrics in comparison to previous months. Observing the trends in data reflecting indicators such as admissions, patient days and capacity are helpful in visualizing the impact of COVID-19 on hospitals in the District. Hospitals experienced their lowest volume of admissions, emergency visits and ambulatory surgeries for the time period presented during the month of April 2020. Percentage change for March and April 2020 from the same month in 2019 is depicted in the chart below for reference.

April_UR_Graph.png
Hospitals changed the distribution of bed-type allocations and added beds to accommodate the potential surge. For example, based on the data reported in April, MedStar Washington Hospital Center expanded ICU bed capacity from 107 to 121 beds (13% increase) and Sibley Memorial Hospital added 137 Med Surg beds (110% increase since February). In addition, several hospitals transferred patient and modified beds for specialty program in preparation for potential surge including Psychiatric Institute of Washington, MedStar National Rehab, United Medical Center and BridgePoint skilled nursing facilities. Although these transitions for specialty care resulted in slightly higher admissions for some specialty care providers, the overall trend showed decreasing volumes.

May 2020 Utilization Report

Höhepunkte
This report summarizes utilization data for DCHA member health care facilities through May 2020 as the COVID-19 peak in April 2020 appeared to wane slightly. This pattern can be seen throughout the report with the exception of newborn and neonatal admissions. The graph below compares the percentage change for April and May from a January 2020 baseline.

Note: The January 2020 volume baseline was selected for pre-COVID impact baseline as earlier comparisons were influenced by Providence Hospital data and other time-sensitive variables. All three metrics (acute care admissions, emergency department visits, and ambulatory surgeries) show modest improvements.
