Open-Heart Surgery Allowed at 2 Va. Hospitals;Critics Say Alexandria, Arlington Programs Will Impair Care
The Washington Post July 2, 1988 | Paige Williams Virginia health officials authorized Alexandria Hospital and Arlington Hospital yesterday to perform open-heart surgery, a move some area health care experts say will reduce quality care in the region by taking patients away from more experienced programs.
Hospital personnel in Alexandria and Arlington said they are confident their staffs can efficiently care for heart patients and that they will work closely with two District hospitals that have logged thousands of coronary bypass surgeries in past years. in our site open heart surgery
“It’s not like we’re starting from scratch,” said Dora Hartley, an Alexandria Hospital spokeswoman. Hartley said the Washington Hospital Center will advise the Alexandria hospital as to its equipment needs and would train surgeons and staff in open-heart procedures.
She said the Alexandria program will be in place by January 1989 and will cost $612,000 for the first year.
Arlington Hospital has “a 40-year affiliation with Georgetown University Medical Center, and this program will simply be an extension of the open-heart surgery program there,” said John Sverha, a hospital administrator who said the hospital will begin its $651,000 open-heart program in six to 12 months.
Sverha said he expected no problems in meeting the state’s minimum requirement of 200 open-heart surgeries per year to maintain the program. Hospitals approved for open-heart surgery must perform 100 operations the first year of the program, 150 the second and at least 200 the third year, he said.
Both Arlington and Alexandria applied to the state Department of Health a year ago for open-heart surgery licensing, sparking opposition from area hospitals that had cornered the market.
“We have the same concerns that we expressed earlier,” said Lawrence Bachorik, a spokesman for the Fairfax Hospital Association. “We’re concerned that some programs may not be able to sustain the volume of patients. The more procedures that are done, the better the results will be.” Surgeons in the Washington area perform roughly 3,000 open-heart surgeries each year in a half-dozen hospitals, almost half of those procedures performed at the Washington Hospital Center and Fairfax Hospital. A lucrative business, open-heart surgery can bring in $15,000 to $30,000 per operation, depending on the complexity of the procedure, according to health care experts. in our site open heart surgery
Georgetown, George Washington and Howard University hospitals also perform the operations, as does Takoma Park’s Washington Adventist, the only suburban Maryland hospital allowed to perform the surgery.
Concerns in Fairfax mirror those of the area Blue Cross and Blue Shield, major health insurance carriers. “We have more than adequate open-heart surgery capacity in this region,” said Barry Wilson, vice president of public affairs for the two programs.
Alexandria and Arlington hospital officials had argued that programs there would be more convenient for local patients. Wilson said open-heart surgery is a carefully planned procedure necessary only for certain patients and that coronary bypass candidates can be safely transported between hospitals.
“Distances of 10 or 15 minutes aren’t significant. It’s certainly not an inconvenience to go outside the city,” Wilson said.
Blue Cross “has consistently supported more regional approaches and generally opposes unnecessary proliferation in the programs,” he said. “The greater the volumes of these services in a given program, the higher the quality.” @Slug: B03OPE Paige Williams
