Portland — OHSU announced Monday that it’s going to bring in outside experts to figure out why it had to close its heart transplant program last month.
Four cardiologists left in quick succession and the teaching hospital now wants to recruit a new team. But few doctors could be expected to move to a program that imploded if there’s no explanation of what happened — and how it’s been fixed.
Health experts tell OPB it was a personnel issue, but OHSU President Danny Jacobs isn’t saying what the cause of the departures was.
