"We are able to pay our bills, we are able to keep our staff paid," Balcezak said. If the deal is approved by OHS, he said the initial focus "is going to be stabilizing the quality of care." Earlier this month, published reports emerged that Waterbury Hospital is having trouble covering its employee payroll. But that may not be possible now with representatives of OHS seeking have them return in three weeks with additional information. Yale New Haven Health officials hoped to get the necessary approvals for the deal and close on the transaction by the end of June. That system allows Yale New Haven officials to assess how consistent and efficient each patient's care is, according to Balcezak. "Our platform allows seamless sharing of patient information across all of the hospitals in our system," he said. As an example, Balcezak said all three hospitals use different electronic records systems, a situation he described as "bizarre in this day and age." "New Haven runs at 95 percent occupancy."Īllowing Manchester Memorial, Rockville General and Waterbury hospitals to become part of Yale New Haven Health would benefit both patients and staff, he said. "We cannot bring every patient to Yale New Haven (Hospital)," he said.
"Not seeing enough patients to maintain or hone your skills is not sustainable," he saidīalcezak said Yale New Haven Health's goal "is to deliver the right care in the right place." Thomas Balcezak, chief clinical officer for Yale New Haven Health, said that it is "inefficient and ineffective to provide all types of care at community hospitals." As an example, Balcezak said Rockville General only does three in-patient surgical procedures each day. Yale New Haven also includes Greenwich Hospital.ĭr. New London-based Lawrence + Memorial Hospital and Westerly (R.I.) Hospital adopted the campus model in 2016. New Haven's Hospital of Saint Raphael became a campus of Yale New Haven Hospital in 2012. O'Connor said the 2019 acquisition of Milford Hospital, one of three that Yale New Haven Health has done since 2012, proves the health care organization's expertise in that area. Yale New Haven Health is proposing to operate Rockville General and Manchester Memorial, using the same medical campus model it has with Milford serving as a campus of Bridgeport Hospital. And we believe we can bring a substantial value to these hospitals." "Revitalizing these Prospect hospitals won't be easy," O'Connor said, adding that it could take as long as two years to reverse the trend of financial losses that all three Connecticut hospitals being sold have been experiencing under Prospect, which is a for-profit company.
