Settlement agreement over contaminated heart device involving KU med.

Settlement agreement over contaminated heart device involving KU med. The University of Kansas Hospital Authority has settled a wrongful-death lawsuit alleging a contaminated device used during open-heart surgery led to a fatal infection in a patient. The settlement agreement was confirmed in court documents, with the plaintiffs agreeing to dismiss all claims against the hospital. The lawsuit also includes negligence and product liability claims against LivaNova USA Inc., the manufacturer of the contaminated device. The case is among more than two dozen lawsuits filed against the hospital and LivaNova, with studies showing contaminated heater-cooler devices can spread bacteria and lead to infections in patients. The trial is scheduled to start soon, with ongoing legal proceedings in the case.

Radiologist joins UKHS Great Bend

Radiologist joins UKHS Great Bend. The University of Kansas Health System in Great Bend welcomes Glenda Holzman, MD, to its care team. Dr. Holzman is a radiologist and is board-certified by the American Board of Radiology. "I grew up in a rural area of Oklahoma," Dr. Holzman said. "Because of that, I am proud to provide services to rural Kansas as I understand how much the community appreciates the convenience." Dr. Holzman offers many radiology-guided procedures. Some of the procedures she will perform include biopsies of the majority of the body's organs, pain injections into the lumbar spine or joints, placing abscess drains and stereotactic breast biopsies. "My mentor taught me three things: know your craft, be available and be affable," Dr. Holzman said about her patient-care philosophy. "I learned that if somebody needs something done, I want to do it expeditiously. I don't want to be a barrier to patient care. I want to facilitate getting a diagnosis as soon as possible." Dr. Holzman earned her medical degree at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine and completed her residency in radiology at the University of Kansas Medical Center. She also completed a musculoskeletal radiology fellowship at the University of Iowa.

2025 HCD Conference + Expo Tour Preview: The University of Kansas Health System ED Expansion, Kansas City, Kansas

2025 HCD Conference + Expo tour preview: The University of Kansas Health System ED expansion, Kansas City, Kansas. The 49,900-square-foot expansion featured four phases and delivered 30 new treatment rooms. The project is one of the featured community tours at the 2025 HCD Conference. Published: September 22, 2025 Posted by Tracey Walker The University of Kansas Health System emergency department expansion, Kansas City, Kan. In February 2024, The University of Kansas Health System (Kansas City, Kan.) unveiled an emergency department (ED) expansion on the dense, urban campus of The University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City, Kan., to address rising patient volumes. The phased project adds 49,900 square feet across four levels, each serving a distinct function. The new ground floor drop-off improves patient access and flow, while dedicated staff areas on the adjacent Lower Level provide vital training room space, offices, and a respite room. Level 1 provides additional treatment rooms and advanced imaging capabilities, joining the existing ED clinical areas. The expansion on Level 2 houses shell space that is currently being developed for the cardiovascular program. Construction for the expansion took approximately 2 1/2 years and occurred within an active hospital, making uninterrupted operations a top priority. Careful phasing and close collaboration ensured continuous care delivery with minimal disruption. For example, architecture and interior design firm Pulse Design Group (Kansas City, Mo.) and general contractor JE Dunn Construction (Kansas City, Mo.) worked with hospital staff to implement a multiphase approach, ensuring that at least one CT scanner remained operational at all times. University of Kansas Hospital ED expansion. Completed in February 2024, the ED features a split-level entry, where patients are quickly assessed and directed either to a large, newly expanded waiting room or transported via dedicated trauma elevator directly into the core of the ED, bypassing the main waiting room entrance. Furthermore, the layout of the expansion is designed to maximize visibility, speed of response, and ease of navigation for both staff and patients. Treatment rooms are arranged in a racetrack layout along the building perimeter. Nurses' stations are planned to provide clear line of site into treatment rooms and located throughout the department to enable faster response times. HCD Conference community tour. As part of the 2025 HCD Conference + Expo (Oct. 25-28, 2025, in Kansas City, Mo.), The University of Kansas Health System ED expansion will be one of the preconference community tours offered to attendees on Saturday, Oct. 25. Space is limited and preregistration is required at hcdexpo.com.
