South Charleston, W.Va.-based Thomas Health System laid off 10 employees when it consolidated two of its IT systems into one, according to WSAZ 3.
The number of patients covered by insurance with low reimbursements, including Medicare, Medicaid and Public Employees Insurance Agency, as well as a decrease in commercial payers seeking care at Thomas Health, led the system to review its operations, a hospital spokesperson told WSAZ 3.
It is not yet known whether more lay offs will take place.
