Christi Grimm, the principal deputy inspector general at the Health and Human Services Department, released a report on Monday that found the significant challenges hospitals are grappling with in treating COVID-19 were partially due to the federal governments flailing response to the outbreak.
In a survey held from March 23 to 27, hospital workers informed Grimms office that they had not been sufficiently informed of the process of obtaining crucial medical supplies from the federal governments national stockpile.
One medical staffer told the inspector general that the means to receiving those supplies posed a major challenge and that the equipment that the hospital did get were inadequate.
Some hospitals noted that at the time of our interview they had not received supplies from the Strategic National Stockpile, or that the supplies that they had received were not sufficient in quantity or quality, Grimm wrote.
