TidalHealth temporarily pausing visitation, elective surgeries starting Dec. 27th

DELMARVA – TidalHealth is temporarily pausing visitation and overnight surgeries requiring an overnight stay.

Starting Monday, December 27th, patient visitation will be suspended at both TidalHealth Peninsula Regional and TidalHealth Nanticoke in Seaford. Also effective Monday, both hospitals will pause elective, non-emergency surgeries that require an overnight stay.

“A spike in COVID-19 cases, other seasonal illnesses and the many health needs of our communities, coupled with unprecedented workforce constraints have come together to create a perfect storm for healthcare providers,” said Dr. Sarah Arnett, DNP, MS, RN, NEA-BC, Vice President of Patient Care Services and Chief Nursing Officer at TidalHealth. “We are taking these steps for the safety of our patients and our healthcare team.”

Although visitation will be open until Monday, TidalHealth is asking individuals to not visit patients at either hospital if they are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 or any illness.

A directive from the state of Maryland, a sharp increase in COVID-19 rates, high patient volumes, and demand for hospital beds has led to the decision to pause certain surgeries. While the state of Delaware has not issued a similar directive at this time, COVID-19 admissions and the strain caused by the census at TidalHealth Nanticoke made it necessary for the Seaford hospital to follow the same plan as Salisbury.

A clinical team is actively evaluating all non-emergency, non-life-threatening surgeries requiring an overnight stay, and those that can be postponed will be. Patients affected are being notified ahead of time by their surgeon’s office.

We’re told this pause will remain in place until Maryland’s COVID-19 hospitalizations fall below the 1,200 mark, per Governor Larry Hogan’s directive. The visitation policy will also be revisited, and exceptions to the current no-visitors…

TidalHealth to pause some elective surgeries as Maryland hospitalization rates jump

From staff reports  |  Salisbury Daily Times

UPDATE: The state of Maryland has surpassed the threshold of 1,500 COVID-19 hospitalizations Thursday, triggering additional actions by hospitals, as required by a Maryland Department of Health order.

TidalHealth announced that, beginning Dec. 27, the hospital system will temporarily suspend patient visitation and pause some elective surgeries at its Salisbury and Seaford locations as hospitalizations spike across the state. 

Both TidalHealth Peninsula Regional in Salisbury and TidalHealth Nanticoke in Seaford will experience a temporary pause at both hospitals of elective, non-emergency surgeries that require an overnight stay.

“A spike in COVID-19 cases, other seasonal illnesses and the many health needs of our communities, coupled with unprecedented workforce constraints have come together to create a perfect storm for health care providers,” said Dr. Sarah Arnett, vice president of patient care services and chief nursing officer at TidalHealth. “We are taking these steps for the safety of our patients and our health care team.”

The move comes after Gov. Larry Hogan announced new COVID-19 protocols for hospitals in prepare for a further surge in COVID-19 amid rising hospitalizations last week.

While the state of Delaware had not issued a similar directive, COVID-19 admissions and the strain caused by the census at TidalHealth Nanticoke made it necessary for the Seaford hospital to follow the same surgical reduction plan as the Salisbury hospital.

On Wednesday, the Maryland database showed 1,465 hospitalizations for the state. A week earlier, there were 1,151. A month ago, there were 508 hospitalizations in the state.

DATA: Eastern Shore COVID-19 statistics hard to come by weeks after cyberattack

The state health department was hit by a cyberattack earlier this month, and its website showing data on COVID-19 has been limited in its daily updates. It has resumed updates for vaccinations and hospitalizations.

TidalHealth Will Suspend Visits With Hospital Patients, Pause Some Surgeries

TidalHealth plans to suspend visits with patients at TidalHealth Nanticoke Hospital in Seaford and TidalHealth Peninsula Regional in Salisbury beginning Monday, December 27th. Both hospitals will also temporarily pause elective, non-emergency surgeries that require an overnight stay.

“A spike in COVID-19 cases, other seasonal illnesses and the many health needs of our communities, coupled with unprecedented workforce constraints have come together to create a perfect storm for healthcare providers,” TidalHealth Vice President of Patient Care Services and Chief Nursing Officer Dr. Sarah Arnett said. “We are taking these steps for the safety of our patients and our healthcare team.”

The decision follows a directive from the State of Maryland that hospitals act in response to high patient volumes and demand for hospital beds. Although the State of Delaware currently does not have a similar directive, TidalHealth Nanticoke will undertake the same measures due to COVID-19 admissions.

“The COVID-19 omicron variant and the continued presence of the Delta variant are driving high rates of transmission and hospitalization,” TidalHealth CEO Steve Leonard said. “Getting vaccinated can reduce the severity of illness and the risk of transmission and will help take the pressure off our extremely busy facilities.”

TidalHealth released additional information Wednesday afternoon:

To protect patients, although visitation will be open until Dec. 27, do not visit patients at either hospital if you have symptoms of COVID-19 or any illness. Community spread of COVID-19 is very high, so consider carefully whether visitation is safe for loved ones in the hospital.

A multidisciplinary clinical team is evaluating all non-emergency, non-life-threatening surgeries requiring an overnight stay and those that can be postponed will be. Patients affected by the pause are being notified ahead of time by their surgeon’s office. Any questions should also be directed to that surgical…

Man Sentenced to 20 Years for Repeatedly Stabbing Broome Resident

A man has received a lengthy prison sentence after he admitted he stabbed a 71-year-old town of Barker resident several times.

30-year-old Matthew Bonser of Nanticoke, Pennsylvania was sentenced to 20 years in state prison. In October, Bonser pleaded guilty to attempted murder, assault and burglary.

Authorities said Bonser broke into a home on April 17 and repeatedly stabbed a person who lived there. He then entered a home on Route 11 and threatened someone to steal car keys.

Broome County sheriff’s deputies and state police pursued the stolen vehicle. The high-speed chase ended when the car slammed into a pole and another vehicle on Colesville Road in Kirkwood. The 87-year-old man who was driving the other car was seriously hurt.
