The department said its staff went to the hospital on April 21 to investigate allegations of serious and immediate risk to patient safety. It issued a notice of immediate jeopardy based on deficient practices including failure to identify patients at risk for harm, failure to implement a plan to prevent sexual aggression and victimization, and failure to keep a safe patient care environment.
After the hospital submitted a plan to correct the issues, a follow-up visit found ongoing concerns, the department said.
