A survey conducted by the Illinois department of health and other private health Inspection organizations (ProPublica), unearthed numerous episodes of poor patient care and indecency that necessitated the use of the term “nursing home negligence”. Our nursing home attorneys were contacted to review these findings and we came up with the following facts/conditions that highlighted the possibility of negligence on the part of Swedish Covenant Hospital:
- Failure to maintain resident dignity while providing care: “On 1/5/12 at 1:00 PM, E4 (Staff Nurse) performed R3’s wound dressing on the left leg. E4 exposed R3’s legs but did not draw the privacy curtain nor close the bedroom door prior to the procedure. R3 can be seen from the hallway. A kitchen staff came to the door and observed the wound dressing procedure. E4 acknowledged on 1/5/12 at 1:30 PM that she should have closed the door before starting the procedure.”
- Failure to correctly label medications: “Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure multidose medication vials were dated upon opening.”
