The

government of the province of Buenos Aires

resolved that both public and private sanatoriums

must give exclusivity to Covid cases

in the event that their intensive care beds are 70% occupied for at least two days.

In that case, these medical centers must

suspend or reschedule

"any surgery and / or procedure that may be postponed and that, in the medical judgment,

are not urgent

, as long as the health of the patients is not imminently endangered."

This measure must be complied with by the establishments reached until "the indicated percentage decreases and remains below (70%) for at least two days," and

can then "resume the activities hereby suspended

", it is added. 


The Bed Management System (SIGEC) of @BAProvincia is an essential tool that we created 1 year ago.

It is unprecedented in the country and its objective is to have the information of the entire health system to be able to know how many beds are left and efficiently manage referrals

The measure - signed by the Buenos Aires Minister of Health Daniel Gollán - is taken within the framework of the

health emergency

due to the second wave of coronavirus that hits the country and threatens the

saturation of the health system,

especially in the AMBA.

Article 5 of the resolution specifies that if the provisions are not complied with,

there will be penalties

for "the medical director and / or owner and / or manager and / or administrator and / or person in charge of the establishments."

It summarizes: "The measures established here are reasonable and proportionate in relation

to the threat and health risk faced by our country in general and our province in particular,

and are adopted in order to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic with the object of preserving the public health of Buenos Aires ".

The Bed Management system


The resolution, which is dated Tuesday, April 20, also established the implementation of the

"Bed Management System (SIGEC)"

that will centralize the information on occupied public and private beds.

"This resolution is a formal element to ask

all

Buenos Aires

hospitals, clinics and sanatoriums

to report the status of the beds in the SIGEC.

The system is very tense

and all parties need to have integrated information to be able to optimize it," reported Gollán .


The implementation of this

"Bed Management System",

always as read in the arguments of the resolution, comes from the differences they have in

data collection

.

"That the survey has shown

a differential

of up to twenty-four percent (24%) between the occupation of beds reported in the aforementioned system and those that are actually occupied or released, which seriously affects decision-making," they point out.

That is to say:

Gollán's

portfolio

warns the private sector

that they do not reliably report their level of occupation in therapy and adjusts pegs so that they do so.

In this sense, one of the resolutions is that all Buenos Aires health establishments must

update

the bed census

four times a day

.

.

The controversy over the rule

.


Around midnight, Daniel Gollán came out to

cross the interpretation

that this resolution was an "intervention of the private health system."

"

The Bed Management System integrates the public and private systems, based on an agreement of the different subsectors celebrated last year and ratified in 2021.

It is strategic

at this very complex time and agreed with the clinics. Do not confuse more.

Let rule !!

", Gollán tweeted.

One of those who made this complaint was the president of the PRO, Patricia Bullrich: "They had a year to adapt the health system. They did not. Now, the government of the province of Buenos Aires

intervenes in the private health system

and asks to suspend surgeries to prioritize COVID. "

And he concluded:

"They mess with freedom

and dispose of our life," with the recklessness that usually characterizes it.

They had a year to adapt the health system.

They did not.

Now, the government of the province of Buenos Aires intervenes in the private health system and asks to suspend surgeries to give priority to COVID.

They mess with freedom and dispose of our life.
