A number of Palomar s staff are concerned about a business decision they said could reduce the number of doctors making rounds at hospitals, reports NBC 7 s Artie Ojeda.
A company called Vituity has provided staffing for Palomar Health for more than 40 years. Beginning in August, Emergent Medical Associates will be the new provider.
Hansen said the change was made for several reasons. She said it’s a best practice to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) from other providers every few years. That hasn’t been the case at Palomar for a while and said it was time to make it a fair process.
