Osawatomie State Hospital has successfully corrected issues identified during a surprise inspection last Fall and is now in compliance with guidelines, according to a recent news release from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
During last Fall’s inspection, CMS surveyors focused on eight patients at the 60 bed ADAIR Acute Care Unit from Nov. 4 through Nov. 6, 2019. On Dec. 2, the State Hospital received an official statement of deficiencies from the CMS Surveyors, who reported issues such as treatment plans that were missing notes, lacked measurable goals and weren’t individualized enough for the patients.
Dr. Kristin Feeback, who was appointed as the new Superintendent of the State Hospital in September 2019, said the deficiencies were primarily documentation errors, and she and her staff immediately began to correct the issues.
