AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoCare Access: A New Hampshire family says it waited about four months for specialty follow-up after a serious stroke at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, with little way to contact a neurologist in the meantime. A referral to Massachusetts General Hospital led to an appointment offer within three weeks. Outpatient Orthopedics: Nashua Ambulatory Surgical Center performed its first robotic-arm-assisted knee replacement, expanding same-day surgery options for eligible patients. In-Home Support: The state settled a nearly six-year lawsuit over missed care for older and disabled Medicaid recipients in the Choices for Independence program. The deal requires closer tracking of missed visits and a request for inflation-linked caregiver rate increases, but guarantees no new funding and still needs a judge’s approval. Age-Friendly Care: Southern New Hampshire Health is the first in the nation recognized for age-friendly pharmacy care.
