Ep 15 - Surveyed and Failed

When the surveyors showed up… these hospitals crumbled.

In this searing episode of Credentialing Chronicles, Shannen and Nyleen dive into two explosive cases where hospitals failed their accreditation surveys — and patients paid the price. From Maryland’s only maximum-security psychiatric hospital to a Florida hospital plagued by catastrophic surgical errors, we expose the dangerous cost of weak oversight, revolving-door leadership, and performative compliance.

💥 Case 1: Clifton T. Perkins Hospital Center – Preliminary denial of accreditation after years of patient neglect, sexual assaults, and preventable deaths — all under the watch of failing leadership and hidden state audits.

💥 Case 2: University Community Hospital in Tampa – Wrong-leg amputations. Unauthorized sterilizations. Wrong-patient deaths. The Joint Commission revoked accreditation in record time, and the fallout was national.

🚨 Plus:
 – How high C-suite turnover is a red flag for patient safety
 – What went wrong in the UK’s Shrewsbury maternity scandal
 – PSA callouts for patients, credentialing pros, and physicians

This isn’t just healthcare gossip. It’s a call to action. Because when oversight fails, people die. And accreditation? It’s not a trophy — it’s a trust signal.

🔊 Listen now to learn why staying “survey-ready” isn’t a choice — it’s a lifeline.
