IJ/SSQC Citation Update

Following IJ citation issued in May, no IJs were cited in June. There was one SSQC citation cited for the month of June. The event involved failing to properly report and implement abuse policy for several allegations. The administrator was not in the building at the time of the incident. The DON was present and followed all proper steps to report the incident but failed to fully report it by sending it to the ISDH. It is important to know who is responsible for filing reports in case the administrator or second in command is not currently there.

Another situation occurred where the administrator filed the abuse allegation, yet failed to alert law enforcement until several days later. There was also a report made by a surveyor who allegedly witnessed an RN become verbally aggressive with a patient when attempting to administer medication.
