Houston Hospital Investigates 'Inappropriate Changes' to Patient Records - The News Bites

Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center in Houston halts liver and kidney transplants due to "inappropriate changes" to patient records. Patients were "effectively inactivated" on the liver transplant waiting list, preventing them from receiving organ donation offers. The US Department of Health and Human Services is investigating the matter to ensure patient safety and equitable access to organ transplant services. The physician involved has been removed from leadership roles in the transplant programs pending the investigation's outcome. Dr. Steve Bynon Jr., the physician under investigation, has been praised for his surgical outcomes and is cooperating with the inquiry. The hospital's liver transplant program had above-average outcomes, but a higher-than-expected number of patients died while waiting for transplants. One patient, Mandy Sears, expressed concern and uncertainty about her status and the impact of the allegations on her transplant journey. The investigation into the "inappropriate changes" to patient records at the Houston hospital has raised serious concerns about patient safety and equitable access to organ transplant services.
