More about Hôpital Universitaire Tombeau

Hôpital Universitaire Tombeau (Tombeau University Hospital)

Hôpital Universitaire Tombeau was founded in 1235 by Marcelle Fullo Tombeau, a wealthy physician in the then northern territories controlled by the national government. Tombeau was a military doctor, who saw that many settlers didn’t have proper medical care, and had to beg army physicians for surgeries.

Tombeau created HUT in a two room brick walled wine press building. HUT was initially called l'Hôpital du Pauvre Voyageur. Funding was tight, and came from donations from friends, and donors who would mail donations through word of mouth, or almanac advertisements. Medical care was free, or extremely discounted (sometimes called penny exams).

The Original HUT building found in 1386, before it was restored as a historical site

 

A vicious winter in 1248 left many people injured, and the free medical care provided by HUT drew the attention of the committees forming the state of Mare de Sang. HUT gained a state charter in 1250, and has been a state funded medical institution ever since. The teaching function of the hospital began in 1255. It began to take in students, have a curriculum, and certify physicians.

the modern HUT campus in the heart of Ruisseau Rouge

To date HUT handles the highest volume of severe illness cases in the northern region. HUT has a full service burn-unit, intensive care unit, and epidemiology unit, among other specialty services. HUT’s 9000 staff, students, visiting physicians, and affiliated out-patient specialists play a major role in the overall health of the northern region.

The Host City of Ruisseau Rouge

Ruisseau Rouge, the seat of power for the state of Mare de Sang, has a population of 520,144. The slow-paced small city has had little development in recent years, as the northern region undergoes major changes to its economy. Ruisseau Rouge was an intersection for major railway lines used to service heavy industry further north in the early 1300s. As northern industries changed, the necessity for rail interchanges changed too. The primary use of these rail interchanges is for commercial goods heading for the members of the Doll Guldur Economic Agreement (GECA), and foreign goods coming south to the major cities.

The most active part of the city is the Market District, home to the Jolly Swamp Raker. The Jolly Swamp Raker was a previously unnamed statue commissioned by the first city council in 1251. Built to commemorate the founding of the city, the statue moved locations several times before the city settled on creating a fountain, and setting the statue within it in 1258.

The state and federal government are the largest employers in the city. These employers include: Université Nationale à Ruisseau Rouge, Hôpital Universitaire Tombeau, the Collège de Médecine de Guerre, and the Viriarma federal police (through its Department Nord headquarters).

The largest private employers of the city include Société Électrique de Grand Sang, Mare de Sang and the northern region’s largest energy provider, Serin Dispositifs Médicaux, a medical equipment manufacturer, and Société de Crédit Lansier, an investment bank.

OOC: The Summit begins next week Sunday, November 3rd.

An opening message will be released on the 3rd, and posters can begin posting.

Thanks in advance to everyone who writes for the event. I'm excited to see what people post.❤️

Tabling for a Government Authority

Nouveauterra’s Ministère de la Santé (Ministry of Health) has a broad mandate which includes: Monitoring diseases, studying the health of the nation, and making best-practice guidance for healthcare providers and health networks. One of the bureaus under the Ministry’s control is the Bureau of Citizen’s Medical Care (BSMC).

The BSMC was formed in 1409 during the administration of President Cico Pantera. The BSMC’s mission, along with the bill that created it (the Comprehensive Pauper’s Healthcare Intervention Note), was to provide health insurance to the poor, and access to complex medical care for those who otherwise couldn’t afford it.

Before 1409, health insurance in Nouveauterra was strictly through private insurers. Government workers could enroll in discounted packages through the state, but there was no public option. Medical care was either paid by the patient, an insurer, a negotiated payment with the previous two, or in rare cases waived entirely. The cultural movement that spearheaded the creation of the BSMC was the death of Flora Tireur in 1408.

Flora Tireur was a 23-year-old line worker at Entreprise Automobile de Routier in Andreosia, De Rek. Tireur began to experience a rapid onset of severe symptoms, and her general doctor discovered it was ovarian cancer. Tireur’s private insurance through her employer could only cover part of the expensive treatment necessary to save her life. Tireur faced the choice of either crippling debt or death from rapidly evolving cancer. An online fundraiser spread, but by the time it met its quota Tireur had passed away from gastrointestinal cancer that had spread from her ovaries. After lawmakers and activists campaigned, the CPHIN was passed by a majority of the Grand Assembly.

The BSMC of today has two main programs, the Affordable Health Insurance Corporation, and the Board for Medical Intervention. The Corporation intakes money from companies through taxes, and very small payments from customers, and uses the money to cover for medical care at any medical facility in the nation. Part of the CPHIN included a requirement that medical institutions and care centers must take BSMC insurance in order to continue receiving grants for other programs (such as disease prevention). Citizens can submit an application and if they have a low enough income, they can qualify for insurance.

The Board for Medical Intervention reviews cases submitted to them through patients and healthcare providers. These cases must describe the treatment deemed necessary, the cost, and the reasoning for why the Board should grant funds for the treatment. The Board is often called upon for novel yet expensive treatments, as well as treatment for compound illnesses (multi-organ cancers, complex brain trauma, etc.).

Although there are critics of the BSMC, it enjoys widespread enrollment in the country, insuring over half of the nation’s citizens. Children are also automatically enrolled in the Corporation healthcare scheme for free when they enroll in school, removing the extra cost of healthcare for parents.

You can learn more about services and programs at the public website, bureaumedicauxcitoyen.no.

Tabling for a Private Company

Serin Dispositifs Médicaux formed in 1373 from a group of doctors, engineers, and venture capitalists who saw a growing continental need for medical equipment. Founded and still headquartered in Ruisseau Rouge, Mare de Sang, Serin’s continent spanning corporation provides many pieces of medical equipment, and maintenance services. Their product range:

• ECG machines
• Anesthesia masks
• Blood oxygen monitoring equipment
• Dialysis machines
• Oxygen pumps
• and many more!

Serin has also recently gone into business selling heart monitoring and fall detection equipment for elderly customers through Serin à la Maison (often shortened to Serin Maison). Their wristwatch (Compagnon) and their wearable simple phone (Gardien) connect subscribers to a nationwide network of emergency call centers. These connections enable a Serin operator to request medical assistance once certain criteria are met. These include: a detected fall without a call cancellation, evidence of heart attack, a tachycardia event, or a direct request from the subscriber.

Tabling for a Private Company

Assurance des Colons (Pioneer Insurance Company)

Assurance des Colons (AdC) is one of the major insurance companies within Nouveauterra. AdC formed in 1340 when Louis Colline and Andres Lambert wanted to insure cars and motorcycles in rural Nouveauterra. The low-price insurance became popular, and through the acquisition of Santé Intérieure, a health insurance company, AdC acquired the necessary licenses to issue health insurance.

AdC is the only full-circle insurance corporation in Nouveauterra, providing health, home, auto, business, pet, and life insurance. Many medium to small sized businesses negotiate bundles with AdC because of the affordable access to many options of insurance. AdC also provides special discounts for government workers, active and former military members, and emergency service workers (nurses, police officers, firefighters, etc.). As part of the company's commitment to social, AdC performs research to explore challenges in healthcare in Nouveauterra, and economic policies that impact the public. A member of AdC will give a talk on rural healthcare as part of the Speaker Series.
