That is what happens when insurance companies make all the rules and not the medical professionals.
I am a RN and find it crazy that the Hospitalist is making the discharge decision. The patient was under his care simply due to being admitted during the Hospitalist's shift. There is no way he/she can be realistically be on top of all those patients. Very poor system.
Yes, call the House Supervisor. That is the RN in charge of everything that happens in the hospital 24/7. Because this is a weekend there will be no Hospital administrater sitting behind a desk somewhere. the House Super is where you need to start.
