Residential Care Facility Citation Update

In September 2014 the ISDH issued 17 Deficiency tags and 4 Offense tags to Residential Care Facilities.  Leading the way in September is the most often cited Deficiency tag – Tag 273 concerning maintenance of food preparation and service areas in accordance with state and local sanitation standards.  The tag was cited 6 times in September.  Two facilities were cited Tag 241 for failing to administer physician ordered medications by licensed nurses or by a QMA and one facility was cited Tag 242 for failing to observe, document, and immediately notify the physician of any undesirable medication effects.
