Aurora Health Care May Convert Milwaukee's Aurora Sinai Medical Center to Outpatient Center
Aurora Health Care may convert Milwaukee's Aurora Sinai Medical Center into an outpatient center to reduce the health system's losses, projected to reach $30 million this year, according to a JS Online report.
Approximately 57 percent of the surgeries preformed at Aurora Sinai in 2010 were outpatient procedures that did not require an overnight stay. The hospital has also moved some of its most profitable services, including cardiac and neurology services, out of the hospital.
According to the report, the hospital could convert to an outpatient center, possibly with a limited number of overnight beds. The shift to an outpatient center would prevent Aurora Health Care from having to close the hospital, which has caused considerable unease among hospital employees, according to the report.
