Article: The CDC Blames Workers for Food Poisonings to Cover-up Their Incompetence - In their latest misrepresentation of facts, the CDC blames workers for food poisoning. The CDC analysis does not address the fact that these illnesses must have a source, where people do not contract food poisoning without contact with that disease. The CDC and the EPA refuse to investigate the actual cause of food-borne illnesses.

Gov Issues Executive Order To Help Hospitals

Governor Kate Brown Wednesday used her executive authority under ORS Chapter 401 in response to a surge of adult and pediatric cases and hospitalizations of respiratory viruses––including Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), influenza, and COVID-19––across Oregon. The executive order will give Oregon hospitals additional flexibility to ensure there are enough health care workers to meet current needs, allow them to draw on a pool of medical volunteer nurses and doctors, and take other steps to provide care to patients. In addition to the Governor's executive order, the Oregon Health Authority is pursuing supplemental nurse staffing contracts of up to $25 million to help address critical workforce shortages. On November 14, Governor Brown granted hospitals flexibility to address the rise in pediatric hospitalizations related to respiratory viruses, including RSV. The Governor's new executive order, issued today, will expand that flexibility to help health care workers and hospitals address the rise in adult and pediatric hospitalizations, and related critical strain on hospital capacity. Since the Governor issued her first executive order in November, pediatric hospitalizations for RSV have continued to climb. Influenza hospitalizations have risen rapidly and are expected to continue to increase in the coming weeks, with a disproportionate impact on young children, elderly adults, pregnant people, and people of color and tribal communities. COVID-19 hospitalizations have risen steeply as well. "Our health care workers––our nurses, doctors, and hospital staff––are being pushed to their limits by this year's combination of flu, RSV, and COVID-19 hospitalizations," said Governor Brown. "As they do everything they can to keep Oregonians healthy and safe, we must all do our part to help them. Our health care workers are working around the clock to protect the people most vulnerable to severe respiratory illnesses––including our young children and seniors. "I am asking Oregonians to come together to help our health care heroes this holiday season. Stay home if you are sick, stay up to date on your vaccinations, and consider wearing a mask in crowded indoor situations––especially if you are at higher risk for severe illness from RSV, the flu, or COVID-19." State health experts at the Oregon Health Authority encourage all individuals, particularly those at increased risk of severe disease (and their caregivers), to take steps to prevent RSV and other respiratory infections this flu season. • Stay up to date on flu and COVID-19 vaccinations. (There is not currently a vaccine for RSV.) • Stay home and avoid holiday gatherings and events when sick, and keep your child home when your child is sick, if possible. • Cover coughs and sneezes, clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces, and regularly wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water or use hand sanitizer. • Consider wearing a mask indoors, especially during crowded indoor gatherings and events, particularly if you or a friend or family member are at risk for getting severely ill from RSV and other respiratory infections. A copy of the Governor's executive order, Executive Order 22-24, which rescinds and replaces Executive Order 22-23, is available here. OHA media briefing tomorrow, December 8 The Oregon Health Authority will hold a Zoom media briefing to provide its monthly update on COVID-19, as well as RSV and influenza activity, tomorrow, Thursday, December 8, at noon with Dr. Dean Sidelinger and clinicians. Interested reporters can join via Zoom here. A livestream for the public also is available via YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH-jaHr3iNE. OHA will send an advisory with more information later today. Additional information on RSV for parents and guardians RSV is a common respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms, such as runny nose, coughing and sneezing. Most infections go away on their own in a week or two. If you have questions about your child's care, call your health care provider or visit an urgent care center. At this time, hospital emergency departments are strained. Parents and guardians should only visit the hospital if your child shows signs of severe illness. Parents and guardians should immediately seek health care if their child is experiencing more severe symptoms of RSV, such as trouble breathing, dehydration, gray or blue color to the tongue, lips or skin, or significantly decreased activity and alertness. More information on how to protect yourself and loved ones from RSV, the flu, and COVID-19 are available on OHA's website. Nurses represented by the Oregon Nurses Association agree that our state is in crisis. In fact, nurses in Oregon know better than anyone the true extent of this crisis. Today's executive order, which expands the hospital capacity crisis beyond pediatric units to entire hospitals and health systems, is necessary. It is also embarrassingly late and lacking in strong solution-driven policy directives. It opens the state's coffers to wealthy hospital systems which have billions of dollars in cash reserves and heaps more stress on frontline health care providers who are already buckling under the pressure of these recurring surges. More problematic is that this emergency order will give hospitals new ways to willfully ignore Oregon's nurse staffing law – a law that most hospitals in Oregon already flout without consequence. Historic Failure Enforcing Staffing Law The Oregon Health Authority's (OHA) own research clearly shows many hospital staffing plans don't meet the requirements of state law, and many hospitals refuse to comply with their own staffing plans. In 2021, OHA surveyed 15 hospitals and, as of October 2022, have accepted plans of correction from only 9 of them. One hospital, OHSU, is on its sixth plan of correction, nearly one and a half years after OHA cited them more than a dozen times for repeated non-compliance with the law, including failing to consider how nurses get meal and rest breaks and establishing minimum staffing levels in staffing plans. Hospitals' willful disregard for the collaborative structures in Oregon's nurse staffing law is extensively documented in the public record over many years. OHA has also never issued a civil monetary penalty, even though 24 of 25 hospitals which underwent revisits from OHA received citations for repeated non-compliance. This shows hospitals make little to no effort to comply with state law. This is an ongoing pattern of blatant disregard for the staffing law, and for the voice of frontline nurses, which has been enabled by OHA's refusal to enforce the law. It begs the question: what good is a law if nearly 75% of Oregon's hospitals receive a "get out of jail free" card from the Governor and OHA to ignore it, and there are no consequences for doing so? Unsafe Staffing Leads to Turnover – The Real Cause of Oregon's Staffing Crisis ONA's recent statewide nurse survey points to unsafe staffing levels as the major cause of nurse turnover in Oregon's hospitals – and turnover is the reason for our state's nurse staffing crisis. Nurses report that 99% of units in Oregon's hospitals are sometimes or never staffed appropriately. Half of nurses who responded indicated they are caring for too many patients on a majority of their shifts. An astounding 92% of nurses report missing rest and meal breaks, with 42% of them reporting missing these legally required breaks on most of their shifts. National research supports the experience of Oregon's nurses; those reports show that one in four nurses are likely to leave the profession this year, and more than 70% of all health care workers are experiencing anxiety and depression due to workplace burnout. We also know that burnout, turnover and insufficient staffing lead to devastating outcomes for patients. The research is unequivocal; increased risk of drug administration errors, missed care, delayed care, increased length of stay, in
