Patients treated at Baystate Franklin, Baystate Noble, Baystate Wing, and other award-winning facilities had a lower risk of experiencing these leading complications: * In-hospital fall resulting in fracture (52.4% less likely) * Collapsed lung due to a procedure in or around the chest (57.5% less likely) * Catheter-related bloodstream infections acquired in the hospital (67.8% less likely) * Pressure sores or bed sores acquired in the hospital (71.9% less likely) "The data behind this year's Patient Safety Excellence Award highlights how measurable improvements in safety can prevent thousands of complications," said Dr. Alana Biggers, MPH, medical advisor at Healthgrades.

Baystate Health launches separation program amid financial challenges

Baystate Health launches separation program amid financial challenges. SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - Baystate Health has announced a voluntary separation program as part of its efforts to support transformation and ensure long-term stability. The health care system, like others nationwide, is facing financial challenges due to increased labor costs, inflation, and reimbursement issues. This program is a proactive step to ensure long-term stability and success for Baystate Health. Governor Maura Healey commented on the impact of President Trump's bill, stating, "What happened this summer with the 'Big, Beautiful Bill' takes a huge amount out of health care. In fact, it takes a trillion dollars out of health care." Baystate Health has clarified that the voluntary separation program will be available to certain employees in non-direct patient care areas. However, it will not affect nurses, doctors, or other direct patient care providers. Despite the financial pressures, Baystate Health stated that it is committed to continuing its recruitment efforts for physicians, advanced practice providers, and bedside caregivers to meet the health needs of the community. Baystate Health said it remains dedicated to delivering exceptional care to western Massachusetts, even as it navigates these financial challenges.
