| Study:
Same-Day Surgery Centers Are Missing Some Basics |
| |
More than
1 in 3 outpatient surgery centers employ doctors who are not board certified
in their respective medical specialty, according to a survey by the Leapfrog
Group. Unlike hospitals that keep patients overnight and must report quality
measures, comparatively little information is available to the public when
evaluating same-day-surgery centers. 'Virtually nothing is known in a
systematic way about the safety of these centers,' says Leah Binder, CEO of
Leapfrog Group. 'When you go under the knife, you want the reassurance of an
independent report on their safety. That's why we did it."

Regulators Move to End Sale of Inclined Infant Sleepers |
|
Federal
product safety regulators are taking steps to end the sale of inclined
sleepers for infants, which have been tied to a number of deaths. The Consumer
Product Safety Commission has proposed a new rule that would virtually end the
sale of inclined sleepers. The CPSC also released a study by an outside expert
that confirms the danger of inclined sleepers. To date, there have been five
inclined sleepers recalled, including 4.7 million of the Fisher-Price Rock 'n
Plays.
