IZ = Israel Zion = Maimonides Hospital

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maimonides_Medical_Center:
Quote
In 1920 Israel Hospital merged with Zion Hospital to form United Israel Zion Hospital, later renamed Israel Zion Hospital. Maimonides Medical Center was formed as a result of the merger of United Israel Zion Hospital and Beth Moses Hospital in 1947.
Hatzolah uses IZ as code for the hospital. So should we. Unless you are really good at spelling.

Nowhere in my posts or even in the majority of posts overall are they accused of being anti Jews. Just failing miserably at health care. And that's the reason ppl are demanding access here more then in other hospitals.

The fact that Hatzolah is taking patients elsewhere only reinforces that concern.

Now just imagine the nightmares all these ppl with loved ones are having...

While I wasnt specifically referring to your posts, the tenor of many of them insinuate that jews were being targeted. They are overwhelmed - thats the reality. Having a family member in there right now screaming at the nurse to pay more attention to their relative will definitely not be in the greatest common interest for all patients.

They can impose strict rules that don't allow people to leave the room, only allow one per day or even less than that, etc.

1 - having spent a lot of time in hospitals, this is untenable. People dont follow directions, and the staff right now cant be taxed with policing this

2- How does this work. Does the hospital have to provide the visitor their precious PPE, or does the visitor provide their own. How does the visitor than leave at the end of the day? Does he get picked up in an Uber and spread it to the driver. Does he then go home and spread it to his family.

3 - I referenced 10 of the top hospitals in the US that have instituted this policy now. This isnt a Maimo issue. This isnt a boro park issue. There are many smart people at these institutions that clearly realized it wasnt tenable to allow visitors at this time.

You are disagreeing with the fundamental concept that has been proven and recommended for years.

I'm not disagreeing that the hospitals aren't overwhelmed, but it would definitely be better.

The concept that a visitor may improve care, is specifically for the patient of that visitor. It has deleterious affects on the flow on a hospital floor, and those are exacerbated in this type of situation. This can arguably circle back and harm the very patient youre trying to help.

Moreover, are you going to only allow visitors to covid patients and not allow to non covid patients? How do you prevent a visitor from infecting a non-covid patient - many who are in a hospital already and immunocomprimised.

Why did Coumo overrule the hospitals to let a partner in the delivery room,

Because he is a politician?

Can everyone please refrain from putting out stories that aren't true. Think before you post.
As for maimonides they are doing whatever they can under the circumstances. I see first hand how overwhelming the situation is and how every staff member in the hospital is overworked but trying their best.

If there is a visitor with every patient then patients are much more likely to receive proper care, that is NOT supposed to be to the exclusion of other patients, it’s just a mechanism of having someone to advocate and call attention to things they may miss and hold workers more responsible than if nobody saw what they were doing. Similar to the role of a mashgiach in a restaurant.

I understand it can also have a negative overall effect but you haven’t proven that the risks outweigh the rewards, you’ve just ignored the rewards of the system that is ALWAYS in place, for good reason.

I am not a Hatzolah member so I cannot know what they are doing, but I know what's going on in the hospital itself.

I'm not advocating that they should start allowing visitors and/or if it's feasible. I'm merely pointing out that ppl have valid concerns.

Perhaps there should be more liaisons allowed to in the hospital etc.

that may not be possible, the hospital is trying to minimize the exposure as much as possible.

Similar to the role of a mashgiach in a restaurant.

I understand it can also have a negative overall effect but you haven’t proven that the risks outweigh the rewards, you’ve just ignored the rewards of the system that is ALWAYS in place, for good reason.

1- A mashgiach is suppose to know the halachos of kashrus with which he checks the employees, while a layman visitor does not actually know healthcare with which to check healthcare employees. A common example of this is when IV pumps start beeping. Nurses tend to have a general feel for when to check on a patient, while a visitor often freaks out when it starts beeping, and goes and distracts a nurse while they are doing something else for another patient - potentially leading to a preventable adverse event.

2- It is not universally accepted as you posit, that visitors improve outcomes for patients. A simple Pubmed search on this topic would show you how many different research pubs have been written on this topic that dont have as much certainty as Shevy from Lakewood

3- Even if you were to argue that every patient's care would improve with a visitor, it is obviously not possible for every patient to have a visitor (some are widows, some have kids out of state, etc).  Is it ethical in a triage situation that those who are able to have visitors be granted better care than those that are unable? Thats just as bad an allocation as saying that those who are currently on ventilators get to keep it more than someone that needs it tomorrow

4- Until you do a randomized control trial, where some hospitals are granting visitors and some arent, you will never be able to *prove* anything. However, it is compelling that at this moment that visitors are just massive fomites and a very big public health concern in hospitals, and should be banned. And the infectious control managers at 10 of the top hospitals of the country have clearly arrived at this realization.

Why did Coumo overrule the hospitals to let a partner in the delivery room, is he smarter than the people that run those institutions? Is he allowed to run to Cleveland clinic if he has cancer? 

There are major issues when family has no access to the patients and you have to take that into account.

They can have rules that visitors cannot leave the room, only allow one per day or even less than that, etc.
CLE Clinic is allowing a visitor in the delivery room. Denying that is rather cruel.

Yet theyre still not allowing visitors onto general inpatient floors, which is what were discussing here re Maimo

this is understandable especially since most hospitals ob departments are separated, however it doesn't minimize exposure from people spreading the virus.

I saw an article here in NJ last week someone came with his wife to deliver while he had covid symptoms and didn't tell the hospital staff.
