History

Porter Sanitarium and Hospital was founded in 1930, by businessman Henry M. Porter who was inspired to give money and land to the Seventh-day Adventist Church after being treated at Glendale Sanitarium and Paradise Valley Sanitarium. [3] [4]

In 1996, Porter Adventist Hospital became part of Centura Health when it was founded by Adventist Health System and Catholic Health Initiatives. [5]

In late 2017, the Colorado Senate passed a law requiring hospitals to have their chargemaster on its website by January 1, 2018. [6] [7] [8] Also the United States government required all hospitals to do the same by January 1, 2021. [9] On August 9, 2022, Porter Adventist Hospital still had refused to comply with the state and federal laws. [10] To force hospitals to comply with the federal law the Colorado House of Representatives and Colorado Senate both passed laws forbidding hospitals from collecting debt by reporting patients to collection agencies. [11] [12]

On February 14, 2023, Centura Health announced that it would split up. [13] [14] On August 1, Centura Health officially split up with Porter Adventist Hospital rebranding to AdventHealth Porter. [15] [16] On October 30, AdventHealth Porter closed when it lost heat and hot water at 8:45 a.m. after their second boiler failed during a cold snap. Two weeks before, the hospital had its first boiler fail and they ordered a replacement from a company in Texas. 90 patients were transferred to AdventHealth Castle Rock, AdventHealth Littleton and AdventHealth Parker by South Metro Fire Rescue and local EMS. [17] [18] [19] On October 31, 55 patients were transferred and 30 others were released. [18] [20] Its two boilers were fixed and a temporary one was installed on November 1. On November 9, at 7:00 a.m. AdventHealth Porter reopened resuming its emergency and acute care services. [21] [22] [23]

Sterilization breach and aftermath

On February 21, 2018, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment was told of a sterilization breach at Porter Adventist Hospital. The following day they did a survey of the infection control practices at the hospital. [24] [25] The Joint Commission visited the hospital in February after hearing complaints at the hospital. [26] [27] On April 3, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment did a second survey after hearing about inadequately cleaned surgical equipment. [24]

On April 4, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment announced to the public that at Porter Adventist Hospital they were investigating a sterilization breach. [28] On the same day as the announcement the hospital mailed 5,800 letters to patients who were put at risk from July 21, 2016, to February 20, 2018. [26] [24] [25] Later it was extended to April 5. [29] During that time period patients who had orthopedic surgery were put at risk of Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV. [24] [28] [30] During its investigation the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment found out that the hospital knew that patients were getting infections as early as 2017. [31] [32]

On April 5, Porter Adventist Hospital canceled almost all of its surgeries. [24] On April 6, the hospital offered patients testing for blood diseases. On the same day Porter Adventist Hospital suspended all surgeries until the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment considered it safe to reopen all operating rooms. [29] [33] On April 11, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment found some patients had surgical site infections. [34] The next day Porter Adventist Hospital resumed some of its surgeries. [27] [35] [36]

On June 15, Porter Adventist Hospital was sued by 67 former patients and 20 spouses. [32] [37] [38] Those sueing the hospital later increased to over 200 and then to over 3,000. [39] [40] They claim that the contaminated surgical instruments were also used for other surgeries, with hundreds of them getting sick from hepatitis B, meningitis, urinary tract infections, E. coli and staph infections. [38] One patient died from sepsis and pneumonia after having surgery at the hospital. [41] [42]

Before the plaintiffs sued they used the Colorado Open Records Act to request the release of the documents of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environments investigation. They were released in August 2018. [43] After the documents were released Porter Adventist Hospital asked a judge to ban the use of some of the documents, even to order them to be destroyed or returned. The Colorado Attorney General also agreed that that the documents should have never been released and ordered them destroyed, which the plaintiffs refused to do so. [43] In July 2020, Denver District Court Judge Morris B. Hoffman rejected all of the protective orders requested by Porter Adventist Hospital, which it had requested in May of that year. Porter Adventist Hospital appealed the ruling to the Colorado Supreme Court. [43]

On January 13, 2021, the judges heard the appeal and were reluctant to overturn the decision of the district court judge. In the end the judges dismissed the appeal and returned the case back to Denver District Court Judge Morris B. Hoffman. [44] [39] On June 21, 2023, the Denver District Court Judge accepted the $6.5 million class action settlement. [40] [45]

Services

On July 3, 2018, Porter Adventist Hospital announced that it would suspend its kidney, liver and pancreas organ transplantation program to make improvements with the help of the Florida Hospital Transplant Institute. This affected 232 patients who received letters telling them that they would have to go to other Presbyterian/St. Luke's Medical Center and UCHealth hospitals for their procedures. [46] [47] [48] On July 19, 2019, Porter Adventist Hospital announced that it would resume its organ transplantation program. [49] [50]

On October 25, 2023, AdventHealth Porter signed a commercial agreement with Aclarion to bring their Nociscan technology to Denver. The hospital will become the first health facility in the city to use the technology, to treat patients with chronic low back pain. [51] [52]

Hepatitis C is an infectious disease caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV) that primarily affects the liver; it is a type of viral hepatitis. During the initial infection period, people often have mild or no symptoms. Early symptoms can include fever, dark urine, abdominal pain, and yellow tinged skin. The virus persists in the liver, becoming chronic, in about 70% of those initially infected. Early on, chronic infection typically has no symptoms. Over many years however, it often leads to liver disease and occasionally cirrhosis. In some cases, those with cirrhosis will develop serious complications such as liver failure, liver cancer, or dilated blood vessels in the esophagus and stomach.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Liver transplantation</span> Type of organ transplantation

Liver transplantation or hepatic transplantation is the replacement of a diseased liver with the healthy liver from another person (allograft). Liver transplantation is a treatment option for end-stage liver disease and acute liver failure, although availability of donor organs is a major limitation. The most common technique is orthotopic transplantation, in which the native liver is removed and replaced by the donor organ in the same anatomic position as the original liver. The surgical procedure is complex, requiring careful harvest of the donor organ and meticulous implantation into the recipient. Liver transplantation is highly regulated, and only performed at designated transplant medical centers by highly trained transplant physicians and supporting medical team. Favorable outcomes require careful screening for eligible recipients, as well as a well-calibrated live or deceased donor match.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Asepsis</span> Absence of disease-causing microorganisms

Asepsis is the state of being free from disease-causing micro-organisms. There are two categories of asepsis: medical and surgical. The modern day notion of asepsis is derived from the older antiseptic techniques, a shift initiated by different individuals in the 19th century who introduced practices such as the sterilizing of surgical tools and the wearing of surgical gloves during operations. The goal of asepsis is to eliminate infection, not to achieve sterility. Ideally, a surgical field is sterile, meaning it is free of all biological contaminants, not just those that can cause disease, putrefaction, or fermentation. Even in an aseptic state, a condition of sterile inflammation may develop. The term often refers to those practices used to promote or induce asepsis in an operative field of surgery or medicine to prevent infection.

Lung transplantation, or pulmonary transplantation, is a surgical procedure in which one or both lungs are replaced by lungs from a donor. Donor lungs can be retrieved from a living or deceased donor. A living donor can only donate one lung lobe. With some lung diseases, a recipient may only need to receive a single lung. With other lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis, it is imperative that a recipient receive two lungs. While lung transplants carry certain associated risks, they can also extend life expectancy and enhance the quality of life for those with end stage pulmonary disease.
