“NCDHHS-DHSR staff are on-site at Mission Hospital,” North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson Hannah Jones told Asheville Watchdog in an email Monday afternoon.
Without providing detail, Reclaim said some of the deaths involved problems with telemetry monitoring.
(Patients requiring telemetry have their cardiac rhythms and other vital signs monitored in real time by technicians who are off-site.)
“This is an urgent message from Mission Hospital Facility alert,” said the alert, which came from a Nashville number around 1 p.m. “Surveyors have arrived at the hospital from the Department of Health and Human Services.
But Mayfield and Reclaim member Mike Messino, a retired oncologist, said at the news conference that they were skeptical of the plan.
