ISDH IJ/SSQC Update

There were three events in November 2013 that led to three IJ citations, all of which were also SSQC.  The first facility was cited F309 for the alleged failure of the facility staff to timely initiate CPR on a full-code resident after the resident was found without heartbeat and respirations.  The next facility was cited F323 for alleged failures to maintain safe water temperatures throughout the facility.   The last facility was cited F333 for not cross checking its Medication Administration Record, per its policy and procedures, after the month end change over which led to an incorrect dosage of anticoagulant therapy being administered and resulting in rehospitalization of the resident.
