Carrus Lakeside reports ER volumes, new equipment and a 24/7 OSU training pilot as licensure review continues
Summary
Carrus Lakeside told the Bristow Hospital Authority it averages roughly 350 emergency visits per month, has purchased a replacement X-ray after a State walk-through identified a loaner-machine deficiency, and is working with Oklahoma State University on a 24/7 staff training pilot while pursuing Critical Access Hospital designation.
Carrus Lakeside representative Jill Atchley updated the Bristow Hospital Authority on May 5, saying the facility’s emergency department sees about 350 visits per month and that collections are currently running about two weeks behind. She told trustees the hospital has partnered with Oklahoma State University on a pilot plan to provide 24/7 staff training and consultation and that a new ER information system is being installed.
Atchley also reported that the Oklahoma State Department of Health conducted a walk-through and identified one deficiency tied to a loaner X-ray machine; Carrus Lakeside has purchased a replacement to address that finding. The Authority discussed ongoing assistance for Carrus’ application for designation as a Critical Access Hospital; no final action on the application was recorded at the meeting.
