Third Tennessee nursing home in two weeks cited for violation of Health Department protocol
The Tennessee Department of Health has ordered three nursing homes in the past two weeks to stop admitting new patients. Although Health Department personnel said no specific “crackdown” was in effect, only four nursing home facilities had been cited prior to August 2006.
The lengthy list of violations includes failure to follow physician orders, failure to report unusual incidents, and failure to monitor patient care.
