Richardton Hospital and St. Joseph hospital are experiencing some financial problems. Due to this Richardton Memorial Hospital Administrator Jim Opdahl told area residents that they have to convert to nursing home for the hospital to continue in the community. The hospital will give up its critical access designation to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Dickinson.

The Richardton Hospital was awarded a federal grant of $990,000 to pay for its conversion to a nursing home. However the problem is that they cannot use it for clearing their debt of about $750,000. Opdahl said that the hospital will change some services by ending its 24 hours emergency and acute care.

Connecticut’s high nursing home costs are reaching the sky limit. There are basically two reasons due to which they are facing so many problems. Nursing homes in Connecticut are under-reimbursed. Many health care providers rely on federal and state funds than on private payers. However the reimbursement is not always 100 percent thus resulting to the difference.

Most important factor is the expensive business and healthcare provisions across the board of Connecticut. The worker’s compensation and health insurance is very high in comparison to other states. Even the hospital and physician rates in Connecticut are also among the nations highest. However one should blame these factors as healthcare is the most important factor in the world.

High economic times in Ontario hospitals is the biggest problem in hiring nurses. The provincial announcement to hire 9,000 permanent full time nurses has also been delayed. The Officials of Quinte Health Care declared that they are planning to stop the hiring of nurses, as the deficiency of $8 million has arisen over the past two years.

There are certain steps taken to control the deficiency with in 60 days to implement plan for balancing the budget. When the hiring of nurses freezes then only they can get success. Edwards also said that they have no idea whether it will be successful or not.  Edwards, who teaches in the nursing program at Loyalist College and is often in Belleville hospital where her students undergo placements, said it will be hard for the hospital to come up with $8 million in savings without service cuts and hiring freezes.
