History edit

 
A mid-1920s plan for the new university medical center that would be located adjacent to the University of Pittsburgh's campus and medical school

Origins edit

 
Eye and Ear, Presbyterian, and Women's Hospitals circa 1943

UPMC has its roots in the 1893 establishment of Presbyterian Hospital,[10][11] which serves as the medical center's flagship facility, and the 1886 founding of the Western Pennsylvania Medical College. Soon after its founding, the medical college became affiliated with the Western University of Pennsylvania in 1892, and in 1908, was fully integrated into the university which that same year was renamed to the University of Pittsburgh.[12][13] Already having worked out informal agreements for teaching and staffing privileges with a number of local hospitals,[14] Pitt and its School of Medicine desired to establish an academic medical center, and by the mid-1920s had formed a plan with a coalition of city hospitals to have them relocate to the Oakland neighborhood of the city that the university had itself moved to in 1909.[15] The university provided Presbyterian Hospital, then located on the North Side, with a tract of land on its campus for construction of a new hospital which broke ground in 1930 and was subsequently opened in 1938.[11] By the end of the 1930s, the University of Pittsburgh had helped to form the "University Medical Center" which included Falk Clinic, Children's, Eye and Ear, Libby Steele Magee, Presbyterian General, and Women's Hospital, as well as the planned Municipal Hospital.[16][17][18][19] In 1949, a new affiliation agreement between the university and Presbyterian Hospital established a three-tiered mission of patient care, research, and education and by 1951, the hospital name changed to Presbyterian University Hospital in order to reflect its close ties with the University of Pittsburgh.[11] In 1958, the "University of Pittsburgh Health Center" was noted to comprise (1) Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Nursing, and the Graduate School of Public Health; (2) Presbyterian, Woman's, Children's, Eye and Ear, and Magee Hospitals; and (3) Falk Clinic, Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic, Child Guidance Center, Salk Hall, and Central Blood Bank.[20] Through the years, the university and the hospitals moved toward an ever-tightening alliance. In 1965, the university, Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic which was managed by the School of Medicine, Presbyterian-University, Magee and Women's, Eye and Ear, and Children's Hospitals incorporated the University Health Center of Pittsburgh (UHCP). In 1969, Montefiore Hospital joined UHCP.[14] In the 1970s, a new model of administration, in which clinical revenues were invested into research, was implemented at Western Psychiatric under the leadership of Thomas Detre. After guiding the psychiatric institute to become one of the largest recipients of National Institute of Health funding, Detre assumed leadership overseeing all six of the university's schools of health sciences in the early 1980s. Implementing the same administrative model in those units, the collective schools of the health sciences and medical center were ultimately transformed into one of the largest centers for biomedical research in the nation.[21]

Merger and expansion edit

 
The seal of the University of Pittsburgh has previously been incorporated into the UPMC logo, and can be found on buildings and directional markers in and around various UPMC campuses, particularly those adjacent to the university

Beginning in 1986, members of the University Health Center including Presbyterian University Hospital, Falk Clinic, the Pittsburgh Cancer Institute and Eye & Ear Hospital began to consolidate. The consolidated group, re-termed the Medical and Health Care Division (MHCD) and led by Detre, became closely linked administratively, although Presbyterian University Hospital remained a separate entity.[22] In 1990, MHCD acquired neighboring Montefiore Hospital which it merged with Presbyterian University Hospital to form the entity that was then renamed as the "University of Pittsburgh Medical Center" (shortened to UPMC), which was the first time the current name of the medical center was officially used.[22] UPMC then began to form a network of affiliated specialty and community hospitals in 1994 termed the Tri-State Health System and established a for-profit health insurance division, UPMC Health Plan, which contracted with these hospitals.[23] In 1996, UPMC had moved to acquire South Side, Aliquippa and Braddock hospitals. Meanwhile, UPMC began to merge with several of the already affiliated Tri-State hospitals including St. Margaret Memorial, Shadyside, and Passavant hospitals in 1997 and Magee-Womens Hospital in 1998.[23] The acquisition and mergers of hospitals morphed the Tri-State Health System into a consolidation of hospitals that currently makes up a significant portion of the UPMC health system. Due to its immense growth of the medical center, as well as the university's concerns regarding the financial risks associated with its faculty practice plans in the face of national changes in health care reimbursements, the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC restructured their relationship and legally separated in 1998 thus launching UPMC as an independent nonprofit corporation[24] with the university identified as a supported organization in its articles of incorporation.[25] The university consolidated its physicians' practice plans and transferred them, along with the university's hospital management functions, to UPMC, with UPMC providing ongoing financial support to the university and its academic missions in return. The result was a mutually exclusive partnership of close affiliation formalized by a series of interrelated agreements and mutual executive oversights, which includes the sharing of numerous board members.[24] This created a collaborative and coordinated decision-making model in which UPMC oversees all clinical activity, while the University of Pittsburgh remains the guardian of all academic priorities, particularly faculty-based research.[23]

Expansion of UPMC continued in 2001 as Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh began merging with UPMC.[10] Since then, UPMC's growth has continued, including a merger with Mercy Hospital in 2008; the opening of new Children's Hospital facilities in 2009; the integrations of Hamot Medical Center in Erie, Pennsylvania, in 2011,[26] Altoona Regional Health System in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in 2013,[27] and Jameson Health System in New Castle, Pennsylvania, in 2016;[28] along with the continued expansion of overseas operations and for-profit business ventures. In October 2016, Susquehanna Health, a four-hospital system in north central Pennsylvania, became the first domestic hospital outside Western Pennsylvania to join the UPMC system.[29] Subsequently, UPMC Susquehanna merged with two additional community hospitals in October of the following year.[30] In December 2016, WCA Hospital of Jamestown, New York, became the first domestic hospital outside of Pennsylvania in the UPMC system.[31] In September 2017, Pinnacle Health, a seven-hospital system in South Central Pennsylvania, merged with UPMC and concurrently merged with Hanover Hospital.[32] Cole Memorial hospital partnered with UPMC Susquehanna and merged with the UPMC system in March 2018.[33] Somerset Hospital, located in Somerset, Pennsylvania, merged with UPMC on February 1, 2019.[34] On February 3, 2020, Western Maryland Health System became the first Maryland hospital to join the UPMC system.[35] UPMC now operates over 35 academic, community, and specialty hospitals in Pennsylvania and New York, as well as over 600 outpatient sites and doctors' offices, more than 50 facilities for physical, occupational, speech and specialty therapies, and 14 retirement and long-term care site, along with its international and for-profit ventures.[7][36]

McGowan,[41] transplant recipient Stormie Jones and Pittsburgh mayors Bob O'Connor for lymphoma and Richard Caliguiri for amyloidosis.[42] Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was rushed to UPMC Mercy after his 2006 motorcycle crash and NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., was treated for concussions in 2012.,[43] Pittsburgh Steelers running back, James Conner was treated at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center[44] The golfer Arnold Palmer, a native of Latrobe, Pennsylvania, died at UPMC Shadyside on September 25, 2016.[45] In 2017, Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimović traveled to a UPMC facility to have surgery to repair his torn anterior cruciate ligament.[46]

Community engagement edit

UPMC has committed to several community projects, most notably pledging $100 million to the Pittsburgh Promise, a scholarship program to help students graduating from the Pittsburgh Public Schools pursue post-secondary education,[141] and $525 million for construction of a new Children's Hospital.[142] In fiscal year 2012, UPMC donated a combined $622 million in charitable community benefits. This included $96 million in community health programs and charitable donations to help stage more than 3,000 community health improvement programs, $288 million in support for research and education, and $238 million for charity care and unreimbursed health care, not including an additional $146 million to cover Medicare reimbursement shortfalls.[143] Despite its 60% market share, UPMC accounted for 78% of the care in Allegheny County's low income communities and 88% of the care for children living in poverty.[144] UPMC contributed $887 million, or more than 15 percent of its net patient revenue, to community services in Fiscal Year 2013, and provides more care to the most underserved areas than any other health care institution in the region.[144]

Center for Biosecurity at UPMC edit

The Center for Biosecurity at UPMC (CBUPMC) is led by Thomas V. Inglesby, MD. Their mandate is to conduct "independent research, analysis, and nonpartisan policy recommendations" to serve as "resources for decision makers who are responsible for strengthening US planning, response, and resilience to catastrophic events."[145]

Criticism and controversies edit

UPMC has been criticized for excessive profits,[146] monopolistic practices,[147] excessive advertising budgets,[148] and focusing on overseas operations at the expense of domestic ones.[149] In addition, various controversies have received significant local and national attention in recent years. Over the last decade, it has often found itself the target of pointed criticisms from SEIU Healthcare,[150] which has tried unsuccessfully to organize bargaining units among UPMC's service employees and other front-line workers.[151]

In 2008, the administration and reporting of UPMC's living donor liver transplantation program received national attention when internal studies, spearheaded by transplant pioneer Thomas Starzl, questioned the safety of the procedure and ultimately resulted in the forced resignation of liver transplant program head, Amadeo Marcos.[152][153] Another controversy arose in May 2011 for UPMC's live-donor kidney transplant program when a kidney infected with hepatitis C was transplanted into a non-infected person. The incident led UPMC to voluntarily shut down its kidney transplant program for two months, and resulted in the suspension of a nurse and demotion of a surgeon. Federal reviewers with United Network for Organ Sharing concluded human error at fault for the oversight and corrective plans that included multiple redundancies were instituted with oversight from the Pennsylvania Department of Health.[154] Because of the botched living donor kidney transplant at UPMC, the federal Organ Procurement Transplant Network (OPTN) put UPMC's transplant program on probation, a rarely used form of discipline handed down for some of the most serious transplant errors. The OPTN said it meted out the discipline not only because of the kidney transplant error, but because UPMC's transplant program was found to have problems in its communication and documentation procedures before.[155]

In April 2009, rival West Penn Allegheny Health System filed an antitrust lawsuit against the UPMC and health insurer Highmark, claiming a conspiracy to create a monopoly.[156] The lawsuit was later dismissed with prejudice.[157] West Penn Allegheny filed an appeal of this judgment.[158] Upon appeal, the case was unanimously reinstated by the US Third Circuit Court of Appeals.

In October 2009, UPMC's administration decision to close UPMC Braddock hospital[159] resulted in multiple protest and lawsuits[160] by community groups who disputed UPMC's claims that the hospital was losing money and was underutilized.[161] The facility, now demolished in preparation for redevelopment, closed in January 2010.[162]

In April 2013, UPMC has been criticized for paying low wages,[163] and using unfair labor practices to thwart efforts by employees to unionize, as alleged in the Service Employees International Union's complaint to the National Labor Relations Board.[164]

In March 2013, the City of Pittsburgh filed a lawsuit in Federal court challenging the tax exempt status of UPMC as a public charity, in an effort to make UPMC to pay back taxes. The city alleged that UPMC has abused its status to avoid paying property taxes.[165] The city dropped its lawsuit in 2014.[166]

In February 2019, the Pennsylvania Attorney General submitted legal actions against UPMC to enforce requirements for open health care access based on the non-profit status of UPMC.[167] These actions stem from a long-standing dispute between Highmark Health and UPMC, the largest two health-care providers in Western PA. In 2011, Highmark entered a partnership with West Penn Hospital System (now Allegheny Health Network). Because of this competitive threat, UPMC declared they would not accept Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance.[168] In order to protect public access to health care while agreements between the two systems unwound, both UPMC and Highmark Health accepted a state-brokered consent decree.[169] With the consent decree expiring in 2019, the Pennsylvania Attorney General attempted to negotiate continued access to care with both companies. Highmark indicated that it would accept the terms while UPMC did not. It is the failure to accept the proposal that the PA Attorney General cited as leading to the legal actions of February 2019.[170] UPMC then counter sued the Attorney General in federal court claiming his actions were "anti-competitive" and violate federal regulations and due process rights, while accusing him of "intervening in a high-profile matter solely to advance his own political goals."[171] In June 2019, UPMC and Highmark reached a deal for a 10-year contract to maintain access across both health systems and all lawsuits that had been brought by the Attorney General, UPMC, and Highmark were subsequently dropped.[172]

In 2021, the U.S. Attorney's Office filed a lawsuit against UPMC, University of Pittsburgh Physicians, and one of UPMC's top surgeons, alleging the surgeon was "regularly scheduling multiple complex surgeries at the same time, forcing him to move between operating rooms and sometimes hospitals, while requiring patients to stay under additional hours of anesthesia."[173] In February 2023, UPMC agreed to pay the federal government $8.5 million to settle a lawsuit accusing them of "knowingly submitting hundreds of false claims to Medicare, failing to follow medical standards for surgery and knowingly placing patients at risk."[173]

In popular culture edit

The television medical dramas Heartland (2007) and Three Rivers (2009) were largely based on UPMC and the University of Pittsburgh's Thomas E. Starzl Transplantation Institute.[174][175] In both cases the hospitals are fictionalized, but in the latter series UPMC is also specifically referred to as another Pittsburgh-area hospital.

Pittsburgh s campus and medical school Origins edit nbsp Eye and Ear Presbyterian and Women s Hospitals circa 1943 UPMC has its roots in the 1893 establishment of Presbyterian Hospital 10 11 which serves as the medical center s flagship facility and the 1886 founding of the Western Pennsylvania Medical College Soon after its founding the medical college became affiliated with the Western University of Pennsylvania in 1892 and in 1908 was fully integrated into the university which that same year was renamed to the University of Pittsburgh 12 13 Already having worked out informal agreements for teaching and staffing privileges with a number of local hospitals 14 Pitt and its School of Medicine desired to establish an academic medical center and by the mid 1920s had formed a plan with a coalition of city hospitals to have them relocate to the Oakland neighborhood of the city that the university had itself moved to in 1909 15 The university provided Presbyterian Hospital then located on the North Side with a tract of land on its campus for construction of a new hospital which broke ground in 1930 and was subsequently opened in 1938 11 By the end of the 1930s the University of Pittsburgh had helped to form the University Medical Center which included Falk Clinic Children s Eye and Ear Libby Steele Magee Presbyterian General and Women s Hospital as well as the planned Municipal Hospital 16 17 18 19 In 1949 a new affiliation agreement between the university and Presbyterian Hospital established a three tiered mission of patient care research and education and by 1951 the hospital name changed to Presbyterian University Hospital in order to reflect its close ties with the University of Pittsburgh 11 In 1958 the University of Pittsburgh Health Center was noted to comprise 1 Schools of Medicine Dentistry Pharmacy Nursing and the Graduate School of Public Health 2 Presbyterian Woman s Children s Eye and Ear and Magee Hospitals and 3 Falk Clinic Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic Child Guidance Center Salk Hall and Central Blood Bank 20 Through the years the university and the hospitals moved toward an ever tightening alliance In 1965 the university Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic which was managed by the School of Medicine Presbyterian University Magee and Women s Eye and Ear and Children s Hospitals incorporated the University Health Center of Pittsburgh UHCP In 1969 Montefiore Hospital joined UHCP 14 In the 1970s a new model of administration in which clinical revenues were invested into research was implemented at Western Psychiatric under the leadership of Thomas Detre After guiding the psychiatric institute to become one of the largest recipients of National Institute of Health funding Detre assumed leadership overseeing all six of the university s schools of health sciences in the early 1980s Implementing the same administrative model in those units the collective schools of the health sciences and medical center were ultimately transformed into one of the largest centers for biomedical research in the nation 21 Merger and expansion edit nbsp The seal of the University of Pittsburgh has previously been incorporated into the UPMC logo and can be found on buildings and directional markers in and around various UPMC campuses particularly those adjacent to the university Beginning in 1986 members of the University Health Center including Presbyterian University Hospital Falk Clinic the Pittsburgh Cancer Institute and Eye amp Ear Hospital began to consolidate The consolidated group re termed the Medical and Health Care Division MHCD and led by Detre became closely linked administratively although Presbyterian University Hospital remained a separate entity 22 In 1990 MHCD acquired neighboring Montefiore Hospital which it merged with Presbyterian University Hospital to form the entity that was then renamed as the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center shortened to UPMC which was the first time the current name of the medical center was officially used 22 UPMC then began to form a network of affiliated specialty and community hospitals in 1994 termed the Tri State Health System and established a for profit health insurance division UPMC Health Plan which contracted with these hospitals 23 In 1996 UPMC had moved to acquire South Side Aliquippa and Braddock hospitals Meanwhile UPMC began to merge with several of the already affiliated Tri State hospitals including St Margaret Memorial Shadyside and Passavant hospitals in 1997 and Magee Womens Hospital in 1998 23 The acquisition and mergers of hospitals morphed the Tri State Health System into a consolidation of hospitals that currently makes up a significant portion of the UPMC health system Due to its immense growth of the medical center as well as the university s concerns regarding the financial risks associated with its faculty practice plans in the face of national changes in health care reimbursements the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC restructured their relationship and legally separated in 1998 thus launching UPMC as an independent nonprofit corporation 24 with the university identified as a supported organization in its articles of incorporation 25 The university consolidated its physicians practice plans and transferred them along with the university s hospital management functions to UPMC with UPMC providing ongoing financial support to the university and its academic missions in return The result was a mutually exclusive partnership of close affiliation formalized by a series of interrelated agreements and mutual executive oversights which includes the sharing of numerous board members 24 This created a collaborative and coordinated decision making model in which UPMC oversees all clinical activity while the University of Pittsburgh remains the guardian of all academic priorities particularly faculty based research 23 Expansion of UPMC continued in 2001 as Children s Hospital of Pittsburgh began merging with UPMC 10 Since then UPMC s growth has continued including a merger with Mercy Hospital in 2008 the opening of new Children s Hospital facilities in 2009 the integrations of Hamot Medical Center in Erie Pennsylvania in 2011 26 Altoona Regional Health System in Altoona Pennsylvania in 2013 27 and Jameson Health System in New Castle Pennsylvania in 2016 28 along with the continued expansion of overseas operations and for profit business ventures In October 2016 Susquehanna Health a four hospital system in north central Pennsylvania became the first domestic hospital outside Western Pennsylvania to join the UPMC system 29 Subsequently UPMC Susquehanna merged with two additional community hospitals in October of the following year 30 In December 2016 WCA Hospital of Jamestown New York became the first domestic hospital outside of Pennsylvania in the UPMC system 31 In September 2017 Pinnacle Health a seven hospital system in South Central Pennsylvania merged with UPMC and concurrently merged with Hanover Hospital 32 Cole Memorial hospital partnered with UPMC Susquehanna and merged with the UPMC system in March 2018 33 Somerset Hospital located in Somerset Pennsylvania merged with UPMC on February 1 2019 34 On February 3 2020 Western Maryland Health System became the first Maryland hospital to join the UPMC system 35 UPMC now operates over 35 academic community and specialty hospitals in Pennsylvania and New York as well as over 600 outpatient sites and doctors offices more than 50 facilities

149 In addition various controversies have received significant local and national attention in recent years Over the last decade it has often found itself the target of pointed criticisms from SEIU Healthcare 150 which has tried unsuccessfully to organize bargaining units among UPMC s service employees and other front line workers 151 In 2008 the administration and reporting of UPMC s living donor liver transplantation program received national attention when internal studies spearheaded by transplant pioneer Thomas Starzl questioned the safety of the procedure and ultimately resulted in the forced resignation of liver transplant program head Amadeo Marcos 152 153 Another controversy arose in May 2011 for UPMC s live donor kidney transplant program when a kidney infected with

demotion of a surgeon Federal reviewers with United Network for Organ Sharing concluded human error at fault for the oversight and corrective plans that included multiple redundancies were instituted

program on probation a rarely used form of discipline handed down for some of the most serious transplant errors The OPTN said it meted out the discipline not only because of the kidney transplant

February 2019 the Pennsylvania Attorney General submitted legal actions against UPMC to enforce requirements for open health care access based on the non profit status of UPMC 167 These actions stem from a long standing dispute between Highmark Health and UPMC the largest two health care providers in Western PA In 2011 Highmark entered a partnership with West Penn Hospital System now Allegheny Health Network Because of this competitive threat UPMC declared they would not accept Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance 168 In order to protect public access to health care while agreements

negotiate continued access to care with both companies Highmark indicated that it would accept the terms while UPMC did not It is the failure to accept the proposal that the PA Attorney General cited as leading to the legal actions of February 2019 170 UPMC then counter sued the Attorney General in federal court claiming his actions were anti competitive and violate federal regulations and due process rights while accusing him of intervening in a high profile matter solely to advance his own political goals 171 In June 2019 UPMC and Highmark reached a deal for a 10 year contract to maintain access across both health systems and all lawsuits that had been brought by the Attorney General UPMC and Highmark were subsequently dropped 172 In 2021 the U S Attorney s Office filed a lawsuit

lawsuit accusing them of knowingly submitting hundreds of false claims to Medicare failing to follow medical standards for surgery and knowingly placing patients at risk 173 In popular culture editThe
