\nA leading University of Louisville surgeon says staffing cuts by KentuckyOne health at U of L Hospital have made it “unsafe” for the care of seriously ill and injured patients.<\/p>\n
Dr. J. David Richardson, vice chair of surgery, says the hospital is poorly staffed at night, resulting in emergency room crowding. He says the Intensive Care Unit is understaffed as well. Furthermore, Richardson says it’s “virtually impossible” to do clinic research in the hospital.<\/p>\n
He says the only solution is to cut ties with KentuckyOne Health, which took over hospital management in 2013 and laid off several employees shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n
KentuckyOne responded in a statement that UHL is an “excellent hospital,” and that it’s committed to continuing the partnership.
