Episode description
Under Federal guidelines, an avoidable accident at a nursing home means that the facility failed to identify a hazard and assess the resident’s specific risk to that hazard, eliminate the hazard or implement interventions to reduce the likelihood of problems, or monitor the effectiveness of those interventions. This week on the podcast, we discuss how and when a facility is responsible for injuries resulting from avoidable accidents.
