Feds penalize 23 N.J. hospitals for infections, errors

High rates of errors and infections will cause 23 hospitals in New Jersey to lose a slice of their Medicare payments from the federal government this year. The penalized facilities range from prominent regional health centers such as Hackensack University Medical Center, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospitals in New Brunswick, Somerville and Hamilton and the University Hospital in Newark, to local facilities such as Southern Ocean Medical Center in Manahawkin, according to data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
