headwaters probe heart patient compaint

1
Cholly Boland, president and CEO of Headwaters Health Care Centre, says the hospital will investigate a complaint it received from a Mono resident concerning its response to indications he faced a possible heart attack. An e-mail containing a copy of Ian McKay’s letter of complaint to the hospital was received by this paper on Tuesday. Mr. Boland, said Headwaters has a complete process concerning patient complaints. “With any com- plaint we take it very seri- ously, we investigate it, we follow up directly with the patient and we implement changes based on what we’ve learned,” he said. Although Mr. Boland commented that Headwaters would be fol- lowing up directly with Mr. McKay, he said they will not be commenting on this specific situation publicly. However, he did com- ment on Headwaters’ desire to improve in the event of an unsatisfactory visit to the hospital. “We prefer that they do it when they’re having the experience, when they’re having the situation, at the time that they have a com- plaint,” he said. “That’s the way we improve when peo- ple tell us what they are unsatisfied with and we welcome that opportunity.” In the letter, Mr. McKay said that on Tuesday, March 9 he experienced a sharp pain in his chest while walking to work along Toronto’s University Avenue. The pain stopped when he stopped walking but it was enough to worry him into going to the Headwaters walk-in clinic after work that day. Mr. McKay said he was seen that day by one of the doctors at the clinic who believed it was heart-related pain and prescribed a nitro- glycerin spray designed to relieve the pain if it hap- pened again. The doctor had also stated that Mr. McKay would need to undergo a stress test as well as an angiogram. Although an urgent request was then faxed to another doctor’s office to schedule these tests, by Thursday, March 11, Mr. McKay had yet to hear any- thing from that doctor’s office about scheduling. When he called the office he was told the fax from Tuesday hadn’t been dealt with yet. Mr. McKay said he then went to his own doctor in Oakville on Friday morn- ing, March 12. She had agreed that the symptoms were heart-related and required urgent attention, but referred him back to Headwaters because of his desire to be treated closer to home. He says he spent sev- eral hours in the Emergency department at Headwaters before yet another doctor agreed that he needed to schedule the same tests as the two previous doctors. Initially, the earliest appointment Headwaters had available for an Echocardiogram was April 12, a month away, but the X-ray department later managed to do it on March 24. He said the hospital’s Doctor of Radiology “told me that she would call the specialist and ask to have the timing for the stress test speeded up..” Mr. McKay said that after waiting for a few days he called the specialist’s office only to be told the stress test could not be scheduled until after he had a consultation with the spe- cialist, on April 22. “I immediately contact- ed my doctor who said this timing was unacceptable under these circumstances and, having given up on being able to receive treat- ment in the Headwaters Health Care system in any kind of timely fashion, I agreed that she refer me to her local system, i.e., Oakville Trafalgar and Trillium Hospitals. Within that system, I was able to go through all the necessary diagnostic examinations/ consultations and to receive (successful) angioplasty on May 13,” just three weeks later than his consultation with the specialist would have been in Orangeville. “I was advised by the cardiologist that, based on the nature of the blockage in my artery, I was fortunate not to have had a heart attack. I was scheduled for my follow-up consultation with the cardiologist on June 17 and it appears all is well.” Mr. McKay said his con- cerns lie in the Headwaters administrative system, the possible need for more spe- cialists and the delays he experienced. Mr. Boland is not com- menting on this specific case but stated that every- one involved will be spoken to during the investigation. “We really very sincere- ly want to ensure patients don’t have unsatisfactory experiences at Headwaters,” he said. “We want to make sure that we have the opportunity to improve.” A4 July 15, 2010 Orangeville Citizen/Free Press and Economist By LINDSEY P APP Staff Reporter For the latest information, visit us at gmc.gm.ca, drop by your local Pontiac Buick GMC Dealer or call us at 1-800-GM-DRIVE. **$14,000 Price Adjustment includes $8,000 manufacturer to dealer delivery credit (tax exclusive) and $6,291 employee price discount (tax exclusive) available on 2010 MY Silverado/Sierra HD 2500 for retail customers only.

Since Mr. Lokker bought the fire hall, which had been used as a Pizza Pizza outlet, five years ago, he has been planning to renovate it in an attempt to restore it to its former glory. “We saw potential to restore it to its original state,” he commented. Architect Ian Starkey stated that the addition to the building would be a total of 1500 square feet. The renovations will con- vert the old firehall into leasable office space, mix- ing the original charm of the historic building and the contemporary style of Mr. Starkey. Mr. Lokker said they are focusing on preserving as much of the style as possible. They are making replicas of the original fire hall doors currently being archived, as well as an old fire hydrant.

DESCRIPTION

This article is a hard news story about a patient at Headwaters Hospital regarding the response to indications of a possible heart attack. It was a different type of news story than I was used to writing. This was the first article I had to write where i had to deal with resistance to speak with me about the subject.

TRANSCRIPT

Page 1: Headwaters probe heart patient compaint

Cholly Boland, presidentand CEO of Headwaters

Health Care Centre, saysthe hospital will investigatea complaint it received froma Mono resident concerningits response to indications

he faced a possible heartattack.

An e-mail containing acopy of Ian McKay’s letterof complaint to the hospital

was received by this paperon Tuesday.

Mr. Boland, saidHeadwaters has a completeprocess concerning patient

complaints. “With any com-plaint we take it very seri-ously, we investigate it, wefollow up directly with thepatient and we implementchanges based on whatwe’ve learned,” he said.

Although Mr. Bolandcommented thatHeadwaters would be fol-lowing up directly with Mr.McKay, he said they willnot be commenting on thisspecific situation publicly.

However, he did com-ment on Headwaters’ desireto improve in the event ofan unsatisfactory visit to thehospital.

“We prefer that they do itwhen they’re having theexperience, when they’rehaving the situation, at thetime that they have a com-plaint,” he said. “That’s theway we improve when peo-ple tell us what they areunsatisfied with and wewelcome that opportunity.”

In the letter, Mr. McKaysaid that on Tuesday, March9 he experienced a sharp

pain in his chest whilewalking to work alongToronto’s UniversityAvenue. The pain stoppedwhen he stopped walkingbut it was enough to worryhim into going to theHeadwaters walk-in clinicafter work that day.

Mr. McKay said he wasseen that day by one of thedoctors at the clinic whobelieved it was heart-relatedpain and prescribed a nitro-glycerin spray designed torelieve the pain if it hap-pened again. The doctor hadalso stated that Mr. McKaywould need to undergo astress test as well as anangiogram.

Although an urgentrequest was then faxed toanother doctor’s office toschedule these tests, byThursday, March 11, Mr.McKay had yet to hear any-thing from that doctor’soffice about scheduling.When he called the officehe was told the fax fromTuesday hadn’t been dealt

with yet. Mr. McKay said he then

went to his own doctor inOakville on Friday morn-ing, March 12. She hadagreed that the symptomswere heart-related andrequired urgent attention,but referred him back toHeadwaters because of hisdesire to be treated closer tohome. He says he spent sev-eral hours in the Emergencydepartment at Headwatersbefore yet another doctoragreed that he needed toschedule the same tests asthe two previous doctors.

He said the hospital’sDoctor of Radiology “toldme that she would call thespecialist and ask to havethe timing for the stress testspeeded up..”

Mr. McKay said that

after waiting for a few dayshe called the specialist’soffice only to be told thestress test could not bescheduled until after he hada consultation with the spe-cialist, on April 22.

“I immediately contact-ed my doctor who said thistiming was unacceptableunder these circumstancesand, having given up onbeing able to receive treat-ment in the HeadwatersHealth Care system in anykind of timely fashion, Iagreed that she refer me toher local system, i.e.,Oakville Trafalgar andTrillium Hospitals.

“I was advised by thecardiologist that, based onthe nature of the blockage inmy artery, I was fortunatenot to have had a heartattack. I was scheduled formy follow-up consultationwith the cardiologist onJune 17 and it appears all iswell.”

Mr. McKay said his con-cerns lie in the Headwatersadministrative system, thepossible need for more spe-cialists and the delays heexperienced.

Mr. Boland is not com-menting on this specificcase but stated that every-one involved will be spokento during the investigation.

“We really very sincere-ly want to ensure patientsdon’t have unsatisfactoryexperiences atHeadwaters,” he said. “Wewant to make sure that wehave the opportunity toimprove.”

Headwaters to probe heart patient’s complaint

Orangeville Mayor RobAdams, MP David Tilson,Fire Chief AndyMacintosh and owner JohnLokker, among others,were at the old firehall onBroadway to for a ground-breaking ceremony.

Since Mr. Lokkerbought the fire hall, whichhad been used as a PizzaPizza outlet, five yearsago, he has been planningto renovate it in an attemptto restore it to its formerglory.

“We saw potential torestore it to its originalstate,” he commented.

Architect Ian Starkeystated that the addition tothe building would be atotal of 1500 square feet.The renovations will con-vert the old firehall intoleasable office space, mix-ing the original charm ofthe historic building andthe contemporary style ofMr. Starkey.

Mr. Lokker said theyare focusing on preservingas much of the style aspossible. They are makingreplicas of the original firehall doors currently beingarchived, as well as an oldfire hydrant.

A deadline has been setfor the end of Decemberthis year.
