\nRoughly four years into a partnership that appeared challenging from the start, University Medical Center and the James Graham Brown Center will re-take control of their operations from KentuckyOne Health over the next six months.<\/p>\n
\nRoughly four years into a partnership that appeared challenging from the start, University Medical Center and the James Graham Brown Center will re-take control of their operations from KentuckyOne Health over the next six months.<\/p>\n
The transition is set to be complete by July 1, 2017, the start of the Commonwealth’s next budget year. <\/p>\n
Two months ago, tensions were such that UofL Medical and Dental faculty spoke of shifts so understaffed they compromised quality of care and patients’ safety. <\/p>\n
Hospital overseers had notified KentuckyOne that it was $62 million behind in payments promised under the Joint Operating Agreement, which could further compromise UofL’s status as a teaching hospital and center for medical research. <\/p>\n
A joint news release makes no mention of the $62 million question, saying only that KentuckyOne will honor its $44.8 million commitment to improve facilities and equipment through next June. <\/p>\n
Still to be resolved is how to restore services that KentuckyOne centralized. They include IT services, human resources, pharmacy and the general supply chain from bed sheets to syringes. Parts of the pathology department were outsourced. <\/p>\n
Most significantly, restored self-governance will allow University Medical Care and the Brown Cancer Center to manage hiring and staff, and keep revenues in-house. <\/p>\n
University Hospital employs approximately 3,000 people. Some 650 medical and dental students are completing their training residencies there, according to a news release.
