It plans to install two new systems that will be compatible with UR Medicine’s EMR apparatus. FLH currently uses four separate systems. Still needed to fully integrate both facilities is a complete makeover of FLH’s electronic medical records systems. UR Medicine does have a midwifery program, however, which might be able to serve Yates County’s substantial Mennonite population, whose members prefer home-birth to hospital deliveries.įLH’s operations have long included advanced services and features including specialty medical practices, a school of nursing and a nursing college, four skilled nursing facilities, and independent living apartments for seniors, Acevedo says.Įven so, he adds, affiliating with UR Medicine under the management service agreement has already added key services like in-patient and out-patient dialysis care, enhanced FLH’s own cardiology care and expanded FLH’s telemedicine offerings. Like many rural and small city hospitals, the 132-bed Geneva General and Soldiers and Sailors, a critical access facility with 25 acute-care beds, find it hard to recruit specialists like cardiologists and oncologists.įLH currently does not have a maternity unit and even after officially merging with UR Medicine will not have population sufficient to justify adding a birthing unit. In deciding to join a larger system, “having access to care locally was our top priority,” he explains. Three years ago while awaiting final approval, the two systems inked a management service agreement and have since forged key relationships connecting FLH hospitals and medical practices to specialists, Acevedo says. Joe Morelle and New York Attorney General Letitia James helped put the deal over the finish line, Acevedo says. To gain final approval, the merger had to pass scrutiny of the Federal Trade Commission and state regulators. COVID put a merger between the systems-first explored in 2019 as the pandemic began to spread-on hold until now.
