前桑福德外科肿瘤学家Sabha Ganai博士在联邦法院起诉卫生系统,指控她为了评估外科医生的结果而使用不可靠的Vizient性能数据(根据未经临床核实的计费代码)来评估外科医生的结果,她对不可靠的Vizient性能数据表示关切,称她遭到报复和非法终止。 Dr. Sabha Ganai, a former Sanford surgical oncologist, sued the health system in federal court, alleging retaliation and wrongful termination after she raised concerns about using unreliable Vizient performance data—based on billing codes without clinical verification—for evaluating surgeon outcomes. 她声称,Sanford忽视了内部数据准确性差的调查结果,将她置于绩效改进计划之上,拒绝了她的同行审议请求,并且没有就她的反驳数据采取行动,显示病人的治疗结果良好。 She claimed Sanford ignored internal findings of poor data accuracy, placed her on a performance improvement plan, denied her peer review request, and failed to act on her rebuttal data showing favorable patient outcomes. Ganai在匿名调查中也批评Sanford的领导地位为“有毒”。 Ganai also criticized Sanford’s leadership as “toxic” in an anonymous survey. 案件最初于2024年提交,后来移交给联邦法院,Sanford拒绝就正在进行的诉讼发表意见。 The case, initially filed in 2024, was moved to federal court, with Sanford declining to comment on the ongoing litigation.
