Oregon State Hospital under scrutiny for patient deaths. Who's to blame? How can we prevent such incidents?
In this week's episode of the Transformation Nurse Academy podcast, we tackle a deeply concerning incident at the Oregon State Hospital that has put the facility at risk of losing its Medicare and Medicaid funding. We explore the tragic case where a patient died from a suspected fentanyl overdose, attributed to staff negligence in conducting mandatory hourly checks.
Throughout the episode, we underscore the critical importance of hourly rounds in patient care and highlight the severe consequences of failing to adhere to regulatory standards, such as the immediate jeopardy status now facing the hospital.
