ACGME puts Chicago neurosurgery program on probation
The ACGME put the neurosurgery program at the University of Chicago on a two-year probation, according to a FierceHealthcare article.
Although the ACGME has not yet said that this is the reason why the program was put on probation, program leaders have an idea of what caused the adverse action. Several faculty members have recently left the institution, which reduced the number of patient cases by about 10%, and residents were not participating in a sufficient number of patient cases as required by the ACGME, the article reports.
According to a Chicago Tribune article, University of Chicago Medical Center believes they should be able to turn things around. The organization recently forged a new affiliation agreement with North Shore University Health System, which should increase patient volume.
