Residential Care Citation Update

The ISDH issued 2 Offense tags and 19 Deficiency tags to Residential Care Facilities in the month of February.  Five citations were issued Tag 273 concerning maintenance of food preparation and service areas in accordance with state and local sanitation and food handling standards.  Tag 247, concerning charting of medication errors and physician notification of such errors when there is potential or actual harm, was cited 2 times in February.  The tag was also cited 7 of the past 8 months, which is an interesting trend as the tag has not normally been cited that frequently (8 times in 2014, 3 times in 2013).
