N.B. nurse double assigned over ‘limited resources’ on night of ER death, documents show
The nurse sought the help of others and shortly after, a code blue was called — meaning there was a medical emergency. Horizon Health Network later confirmed that the patient died in the waiting room.
Horizon Health Network declined to provide an interview with its current CEO, Margaret Melanson, for this story.The regional health authority said in an email statement, after declining several requests for an in-person interview, that “staffing is stable at all sites and improving at all sites.” Despite saying staff levels were stable and improving, Savoie said that when “staffing levels are forecasted to be low on a certain shift, Horizon takes actions to redeploy support staff to assist with the delivery of care in the ED.”
