St. Rose Dominican Hospitals in Las Vegas take a positive step. They are reacting to the recent investigation of the Las Vegas Sun. The investigation revealed 969 instances in 2008 and 2009 in which patients suffered preventable injuries, infections or other harm in Las Vegas hospitals.
Hospitals have “fought to keep secret” information about such events, the Sun reports.
St. Rose CEO Rod Davis is the first hospital executive to come out in favor of greater transparency.
Davis pledges to post on his hospitals’ website cases of preventable harm — known as “adverse” events — that occur at the three St. Rose Dominican Hospitals: Siena, Rose de Lima and San Martin.
They have never been made public before. There is some indication that other Las Vegas hospitals will follow the lead of the St. Rose Dominican Hospitals.
This is a good thing–for us members of the public.
