Corrections On RMH Accreditation And Finance Details
The Herald corrected inaccuracies about Ransom Memorial Hospital in Wednes day. RMH Administrator Larry Felix clarified that accreditation timing referred to an accredited contractor handling mammographies, not regaining full accreditation. He noted technical deficiencies, not clinical ones, and described a two-film submission to the board, with one meeting specs. A corrective action plan and site-review process follow. Felix stated no layoffs occurred due to attrition, and supported consolidating functions for accountability. He urged practical handling of the Quality Improvement Plan, described a systematic collection process for patient balances while maintaining insurance acceptance, and detailed a grant to train staff for infant car seat inspection and distribution for low income families. Financially, RMH reported a positive operating gain of 12,542 in August, with year-to-date operating loss of 261,842, and a net year-to-date income of 566,166 after non-operating income. An Ottawa electric rate note indicated no change from last August in base rate at 7.2 cents per kWh, but the fuel adjustment factor rose to 0.0162 cents, with City Clerk Scott Bird calling last year’s figure artificially low.
