Psych Solutions gets Nevada relo reprieve
Posted on June 11, 2009 at 7:46 amA little bit of dispute resolution has allowed the Franklin-based company to continue admitting new patients in Reno. Health regulators continue down the path of license revocation, a move Psych Solutions officials have appealed.
The decision to lift the admission ban, which had been put into effect Tuesday with a notice of summary license suspension, came after talks with hospital representatives in a process called Informal Dispute Resolution. An agreement was reached between state Health Division officials and the hospital to instead appoint a monitor to oversee patient safety at the facility.

Nevada moves to shut down Psych Solutions site
Posted on June 10, 2009 at 3:36 pmAfter four patient safety incidents in the past eight months, Nevada health regulators have told Psychiatric Solutions officials they have 30 days to move patients from their Reno center before the doors will be closed.
Psych Solutions has been dogged by similar claims at one of its Chicago-area hospitals for the better part of a year. Shares of the company (Ticker: PSYS) fell more than 12 percent today on the Nevada news, although several analysts are downplaying the financial impact.
“Usually what we’ve seen is headlines around this are a bigger deal than underlying issues,” Bachman said. “It’s a tough population they are serving, so there is likely to always be something going on.”
