IHCA
In August 2014 the ISDH issued 38 Deficiency tags and 6 Offense tags to Residential Care Facilities. Of note in August, Tag 273 continues to be the most cited tag due to allegations of facility failure to maintain food preparation areas and service areas in accordance with state and local laws. Tag 414 is also trending in 2014 as the ISDH cites more facilities for staffs’ failure to wash hands after each direct contact with a resident. Tag 414 has been cited nearly twice as often in 2014 (11) than it was in 2013 (6) and 2104 is not yet over. Lastly, Tag 241 continues to be cited with regularity for alleged failure by the facility to ensure physician ordered medications are administered to residents by a QMA or licensed nursing personnel.
