What is Public Health?  
The Institute of Medicine defines public health as: "A coordinated effort at the local, state, and federal levels whose mission is fulfilling society's interest in assuring conditions in which people can be healthy." - Ohio Department of Health website, 5/24/18

Unqualified Staff

Picture
  • The staff was not trained in Advanced Cardiac Life Support
  • No TB skin test administered to staff who had direct patient contact. This put all patients and staff at risk and shows a lack of concern for the health and welfare of staff and patients
  • Clinic administrator did not maintain timed work schedules on the staff. When records were reviewed, there were notes in 8 records for staff who was not scheduled to work the day the patients were in office. When the inspector asked to see the payroll records to determine if this RN was scheduled on that day, the administrator could not produce the schedule. Two other staff members stated this RN was not scheduled on that day.

Sanitary Issues

Picture
  • Exam table was held together with duct tape
  • Surgical instruments not sterile.
  • No soap or paper towels at the hand washing sink in the operating room

Safety Issues

Picture
  • Medical records not stored safely and securely
  • Failed to secure narcotics
  • No RN present in the recovery room when patients were present. This facility is gravely understaffed.
  • The physician who performed the elective surgical abortion noted 'possible perforation of bowel in cavity'  This was found in a post operative ultrasound. Instead of calling an ambulance to transport her, the physician had a staff member drive the patient and her significant other to the hospital. When asked why they didn’t follow the policy for medical emergencies, she stated “I guess the doctor didn’t feel it was that much of an emergency.”
  • There was no report of the complication, no discharge instructions upon transfer and the patient’s medical record was not forwarded with her to ensure continuity of care.

​It has long been held the “State has a legitimate interest in seeing to it that abortion, like any other medical procedure, is performed under circumstances that insure maximum safety for the patient."
 Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113, 150, 93 S.Ct. 705, 35 L.Ed.2d 147 (1973).   

Is the State doing their job?
