Such records have been granted the protection of confidentiality under the provisions of Maine’s Health Security Act, a section of state law that has been in place for more than thirty years. Lawyers for the defendant were seeking not only the medical records of the victim, which would not be subject to the protections of the Act, but also the peer review findings which to the knowledge of MHA and MMA had never been released in a criminal case in Maine. “The Legislature’s purpose in establishing confidentiality protections is to ensure that hospitals and their medical and professional staffs engage in critically important, thorough, honest, and frank reviews of the quality of the care they provide to patients without fear that any such quality review information would be disclosed outside of the peer review process,” stated Steven Michaud, President of the Maine Hospital Association which speaks on behalf of the 39 hospitals in the state. “Without clear assurances from the Legislature and the Courts that internal peer and quality review activities and sentinel event investigations will be protected as confidential, the possibility and fear of disclosure of such critically sensitive information will have a chilling effect on the integrity of the peer review process to the long-term detriment of patient care and safety,” he added. Gordon Smith, Executive Vice President of the Maine Medical Association and an attorney who worked with the legislature in drafting the Health Security Act and its amendments, noted that the compelling public policy issues in protecting peer review processes, decisions and documents have been recognized time and time again by state legislatures and courts across the country. “I am dismayed and very disappointed that after thirty years of experience with the Health Security Act one of its most vital sections could be disregarded despite the clear language in the law that such materials could not be released in any civil, judicial or administrative proceeding. If a criminal trial is not a judicial proceeding, I guess I don’t know what is.” Smith said. The Maine Medical Association represents the interests of more than 3500 physicians, residents and medical students in the state. Both organizations praised the efforts of the physicians and administrators at Mercy Hospital who risked being jailed in order to honor the statute and the public policy behind it. “These health administrators and physicians are heroes in my opinion,” said Smith. “They risked personal freedom and harm to their reputation and to that of Mercy Hospital in order to do the right thing, as opposed to the most popular thing.”

Portland, Maine (April 5, 2012)-Mercy Health System has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval™ in disease specific certification for its hip and knee replacement program. This certification award means that patients are guaranteed the highest quality of service and care and recognizes Mercy’s dedication to continuous compliance with state of the art standards of care. The Joint Commission is the nation’s oldest and largest standards-setting and accrediting body in health care.

Mercy Health System underwent a rigorous on-site survey on March 2, 2012. A team of Joint Commission expert surveyors evaluated the hospital for compliance with standards of care specific to the needs of patients and families–including infection prevention and control, leadership and medication management.

“This was truly a team effort by nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, surgeons, anesthesiologists and support staff,” says Heather Skolfield, the Director of Mercy’s Orthopaedic Institute. ”I’m proud of our team effort and the fact that our program stands up against the best in the country. I’ve always believed that we are exceptional and we now have the certification to prove it.”

“In achieving Joint Commission certification, Mercy has demonstrated its commitment to the highest level of care for its patients undergoing hip and knee replacements,” says Jean Range, M.S., R.N., C.P.H.Q. executive director, Disease-Specific Care Certification, The Joint Commission. “Certification is a voluntary process and I commend Mercy Hospital for successfully undertaking this challenge to elevate its standard of care and instill confidence in the community it serves.”

With Joint Commission certification, Mercy is making a significant investment in quality on a day-to-day basis from the top down. Patients and their families can rest assured that they are in the best of hands at the Orthopaedic Institute at Mercy.

“Certification by the Joint Commission is an automatic indicator that patients will receive the highest quality of care. It saves patients and their families the trials and tribulations of trying to assess a program on their own. The gold seal of approval says it all,” says Skolfield.
