What we know

  • The Miami Herald, CBS News, AP and other outlets first reported a settlement between South Florida hospitals and their CEOs on Nov 10, according to the outlet list supplied with this assignment.
  • None of those reports was among the documents read for this piece, so the terms, amounts and named parties are not confirmed here.
  • No public response from the hospitals or the CEOs was found in the reports read.

South Florida hospitals and their feuding CEOs have reportedly reached a settlement, first reported on Nov 10. The outlets credited with the story include the Miami Herald, CBS News and AP. The reports themselves were not in the material read, so what follows is mostly a list of what cannot yet be said.

Who says what

The settlement itself is attributed here only to the outlets named above. The material read for this piece covered a CBS Miami report on a high school football award, an AP college basketball preview and a WSVN report on Veterans Day events, and none of it mentions the hospitals, the CEOs or the case. No settlement figure, payee, number of hospitals or court docket can be stated on that basis.

The response

No public response from the hospitals or the CEOs was found in the reports read. That is not the same as a refusal to comment; it means the statements, if any exist, have not been seen.

What happens next

No hearing date, deadline, court approval step or next filing appears in the material read. Whether the deal needs a judge's sign-off, and whether its terms will become public, is not yet known.

Backstory

The earlier record of the feud, including who sued whom and over what, is not in the material read, so MissFortune will not guess at it. A money story with no money in it is, admittedly, a rare find.

As of Nov 11, 1:20 PM ET, the only confirmed point here is that outlets including the Miami Herald, CBS News and AP reported a settlement on Nov 10. The terms, the parties, the court filings and any statement from the hospitals or CEOs remain unconfirmed in the documents read, and the story will need those before it can say more.

The Ledger

On the record

  • Outlets including the Miami Herald, CBS News and AP reported a settlement on Nov 10, per the outlet list supplied with this assignment.

Still rumour

  • Terms, amounts, the named parties and the court filings are not confirmed in the documents read.
  • Any statement from the hospitals or the CEOs, and any next court step, was not found in the reports read.

That's the record. The rest is rumour. - MissFortune
