Context
A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.

For Your Next Visit
Bring these to the tour. Each one comes from something in the record; the reason is under the question.

Medical Records: cited in five inspections, most seriously at level E.
How do nurses make sure a doctor’s orders are carried out, and how are families told when something is missed?

What happened after the medication error citation, and how are high-risk drugs double-checked?
Significant Medication Errors: cited in four inspections, most seriously at level D.
