The-Paris-site: Funny Thing Happened....3/12
http://the-paris-site.blogspot.com/2009/12/funny-thing-happened.html
Monday, December 21, 2009. Funny Thing Happened. 3/12. A lot of people wonder why the posts have dried up. It's not that there isn't anything to discuss or cuss, it's just that the discussion seems rather futile. It doesn't change. The ER loses good staff, and they hire locums. Clinical or nursing loses staff, and locums replace them at twice or three times the cost. The spread-out services continue to make it difficult for Essent's showplace to be truely functional. Posted by fac p. Apparently the folks...

The-Paris-site: Ya Wonder....2/11
http://the-paris-site.blogspot.com/2009/10/ya-wonder.html
Friday, October 02, 2009. Ya Wonder. 2/11. By now most know that Essent is in the due-diligence phase of the Brown County General Hospital in Ohio. It is also noted that they didn't bring the commissioners to Paris. I particularily liked the quote in The Ledger Independent:. Essent will breathe new life into Brown County General Hospital," Edwards said. Essent will also provide capital for facility and equipment enhancements and. Include the construction of two new floors with approximately 50 private.

The-Paris-site: Making Like a Tree....2/16
http://the-paris-site.blogspot.com/2010/09/making-like-tree.html
Thursday, September 02, 2010. Making Like a Tree. 2/16. Funny, as it was pointed out to me numerous times, how one day the Duck is being 'frog marched' to the door, with Essent saying the coup d'état was. And the next day, he has a month to pack his pencils. To ensure a smooth transition of the hospital’s leadership, Dux will remain at PRMC until Oct. 1. At that time, current chief operating officer Bill Porter will assume the position of interim CEO. And for an undisclosed endeavor? Posted by fac p.

The-Paris-site: More From Emailings....8/5
http://the-paris-site.blogspot.com/2009/07/more-from-emailings.html
Thursday, July 30, 2009. More From Emailings. 8/5. Emailed to me, subject: Congressional Clout. This is an awful lot of reading. Some of us will just go with the flow. But, read some of the provisions and compare them to the language of the actual bill (attached). Or go through and pick the ones that piss you off—and verify them. Or don’t feel so superior when those people who bought houses for which the payments are more than their total income are paraded on TV. You’ll be one of them. The included list...

The-Paris-site: Cleaning Up??....9/6
http://the-paris-site.blogspot.com/2010/06/cleaning-up.html
Wednesday, June 30, 2010. You have to wonder what is going on. Apparently they are cleaning the place up in Paris (the fountain even works! Over-staffing in non-critical areas (2 nurses for 3 patients in some areas) and even Ducks and the Connster were seen roaming the halls "inspecting" everything this last week. Looks a whole lot like a potential buyer is looking to view the place or else they are expecting a "surprise" inspection from a state agency. I think I would go with the former. Posted by fac p.

The-Paris-site: Irony....4/19
http://the-paris-site.blogspot.com/2011/04/irony.html
Tuesday, April 05, 2011. What is the definition of Irony? When an "Account Dispute Resolution Expert" has to sue a client. More irony: The court disqualified the expert witnesses from Managed Care Solutions from testifying. The final bit provided: Emails were destroyed 'per Essent's corporate policy' after they were enjoined from doing so.something like information that was sought by Essent in the case against Blogger 1-10.

The-Paris-site: It Keeps On Rolling....5/28
http://the-paris-site.blogspot.com/2010/05/it-keeps-on-rolling.html
Thursday, May 20, 2010. It Keeps On Rolling. 5/28. Been over to the ER lately? If you do, you're lucky, since the majority are temp service/agency nurses. What's the harm, it infuses the hospital with new people? Yeah, but when the location of the simplest things takes a question, and it pulls another nurse away from patients. But we can see if we like a nurse's work before we offer them a postion. How many actually take an offer from here? No truer words have been spoken than:. Posted by fac p. This is ...

The-Paris-site: Half Better Than None?....10/30
http://the-paris-site.blogspot.com/2009/09/half-better-than-none.html
Monday, September 28, 2009. Half Better Than None? Remember when Essent was negotiating for Nachez Regional Medical Center- and they backed out because the other hospital in town wasn't included in the deal? Well, for the first time in five years, NRMC is projecting a profit of approximately 3/4 of a million. Timing is everything, I'd say. Course they're also projecting $12.5 Million in bad debt- unpaid bills. Now, if Obama-care makes it through, would those debts be unpaid? Posted by fac p. Guess who wo...

http://the-paris-site.blogspot.com/2009/08/damned-if-you-do.html
Monday, August 03, 2009. Damned If You Do. 9/3. Remember, years ago, when the Medicare renewal was let slip through the cracks and the reimbursement rates went to rural, rather than that of the metroplex? Well, under what is being cussed and discussed in Congress, that might be a good thing in the future. Understand, this is. Not a done deal. So, PRMC and the other Essent hospitals might actually make out better. Who'da thunk it? What will happen, is more taxes- tax the wealthy. And I'll foretell somethi...

The-Paris-site: Change, But Can We Live With It?....7/26
http://the-paris-site.blogspot.com/2009/07/change-but.html
Saturday, July 18, 2009. Change, But Can We Live With It? Change.an interesting word. We've definitely had change in Paris. But, we're talking about the. Managing 1/6 of our Gross National Product. This. The same government that has yet to come in under budget on almost anything? This is the same administration that said they didn't understand the severity of the recession? The same administration that let. In pork get attached to the stimulus package. So, what happens when the government runs hospitals?
