Over the last 18 months Greenwich Hospital President and CEO Frank Corvino has repeatedly been made aware of how homeless patients from the Town of Greenwich are treated at the Greenwich Hospital Outpatient Clinic. These serious complaints that were brought to Mr. Corvino's attention included reports of Greenwich Hospital Clinic employees mocking and publicly discussing Greenwich Hospital patients that have sought out mental health care in the Greenwich Hospital Outpatient headed by Dr. Stephen Jones. Moreover, there have been much more serious complaints of Greenwich Hospital Clinic employees improperly releasing patient information from the admitting area and reception area of the second floor outpatient clinic. Dr Jones' staff have repeatedly been heard and observed discussing patients private and confidential information loudly on speaker phones or by unprofessionally shouting a patients confidential information over office partitions. Greenwich Hospital patients medical record numbers, dates of birth, social security numbers, employers,phone numbers and home addresses are routinely and illegally released in the Greenwich Hospital Clinic. There have also been numerous complaints about Greenwich Hospital Clinic's routine (not Specialist) medical appointments are often not made before the patient leaves the second floor clinic at Greenwich Hospital. Many times these physician appointments are not made at all placing the hospital at risk for lawsuits for failing to follow up on patient's vitally needed medical treatments. Greenwich Hospital Outpatient administrator Kristen Suarez blamed the problems on being shorthanded, because of the steady stream of out patient clinic cutbacks, instituted by Greenwich Hospital CEO Frank Corvino. But this doesn't explain why the privacy rules and laws, along with Greenwich Hospital patient rights are not prominently posted near the outpatient clinic reception desk or in treatment rooms.
