Police are holding the 56yearold person of interest in the murder of the recent drexel graduate on a burglary charge after investigators say witnesses placed him inside the victims Apartment Building when he was not allowed to be there. He had been fired from his job as a Maintenance Worker one week before the murder. It was last thursday when 27yearold Jasmine Wright was found strangled inside of her apartment in west philadelphia. She had recently earned a graduate degree in Public Health from drexel university. Detectives did not find any signs of a struggle or forced entry inside her apartment and so for that reason they suspect the victim either let her killer in or that the person had a key. Even though witnesses have told police the former Maintenance Worker the person of interest was in the building on the day of the Murder Police have not been able to prove that he was actually inside that victims apartment.

Patients can now search to see how many complications a surgeon has had for certain medicare reimbursed procedures. Great resource. The nbc 10 investigators have the numbers. Reporter Mitch Blacher is here with what this means. Reporter our News Partners have been working on this information for three years, crunching numbers, naming names and assigning surgeons adjusted complication rates. Its information you might find valuable but it is not without controversy. All over the country and right here in the Delaware Valley patients have access to a new way to look up information on surgeons. We are providing for the first time the complication rates for about 17,000 surgeons. Reporter Marshall Allen is pro publicas health care reporter, the nonprofit News Organization looked at medicare records from 2009 to 2013 noting surgical complications. The data looks at more than 64,000 medical problems things like misaligned prosthetics, accidental punctures, infections and deaths related to eight kinds of elective surgeries. The complications are not necessarily caused by a surgeon but they haveppened on the surgeons watch. One of the biggest complications for patients is telling wheres the best place to go for the surgery. Reporter they crunched the numbers and gave surgeons complication rates based on how many procedures they performed versus the number of complications. Using an algorithm the group took into account risk factors such as a patients age and Health Conditions before coming up with what they call the adjusted complication rates. People do more research shopping for a flat screen tv or toothpaste in america than they will looking for a doctor thats going to perform one of the most important operations of their life. Reporter dr. Mackary is a professor at Johns Hopkins hospital. He consulted on the project. Whats important to a surgeon is sometimes the technical aspects of how we throw the stitch and how well the patients recover in the immediate short term. Whats important to the patients is often whether or not they are debilitated, how long their recovery is. Reporter the nbc 10 investigators looked through the data and found most hospitals and surgeons in our area fall into pro publicas low or medium risk categories but something in the data stood out. According to pro publicas analysis, the surgeon with the states highest complication rate for Knee Replacement and the second highest in the country works at Pennsylvania Hospital. The doctor performed 133 Knee Replacements covered by medicare from 2009 to 2013. Of those, 16 had complications. We also found Pennsylvania Hospital is above the National Average for hip replacement complications. We reached out to penn hospital a spokesperson tells us the hospital does monitor individual surgeon complication rates but did not provide any specific detail. That spokeswoman declined our request to go on camera to answer our questions but did email us statements. One reads in part penn medicine reviews all readmissions and we can find no valid records that would support any of the conclusions pro publica has made. Another disputes putting sole responsibility for complications on surgeons and it says in part it is pretty impractical as it fails to recognize the social determinants of health that influence patient outcomes. The further you look back in the rear view mirror its harder to look up the road. Reporter michael is with the hospital and Health System association of pennsylvania. He says three years of federal funding has made Health Care Better in the state. You saw a 26 improvement. Reporter he says Pennsylvania Hospital sends information on every patient to the state. He says pro publicas data is limited because it only considers medicare patients. He is also concerned about a lack of context into a patients socioeconomic status. Are they able to get to physical therapy and do the exercises, what kind of support do they have for transportation to get to rehab, are their families supportive in doing that. If those things arent happening or they have other Health Problems that makes complication rates higher. Reporter he believes getting this information out to the public encourages people to talk about Better Health care. Our hope is that will engage the consumer the patient, in looking after themselves but also asking the right questions. Reporter one of those questions might be what is your complication rate. The doctors we spoke with didnt actually know their complication rates until we told them about pro publica data. Mitch blacher, nbc 10 news. We put a link to pro publicas data on the nbc 10 news app and on our nbc10. Com website. Health care at one Montgomery County hospital is getting downsized.

Critically ill Heart Patients will now have access to the worlds smallest heart pump at a local hospital. Doctors and nurses at Lankenau Medical Center received training today for the pump which acts like a temporary artificial heart pumping blood throughout the body when the heart is too weak to do it itself. Doctors say the pump provides time for the patients heart to rest and heal. The advantage of the technology is that it could be placed in very rapidly and a person who is very ill, when theres not time to set up an operating room for a more invasive support device. Listen to this. The device is less than the width of a pencil and the pump is smaller than an eraser. Flat screen tvs, Massage Therapy and a swimming pool. Sounds great to me.
