Hi...I work in a long term care facility which hold a 121 beds. Recently our health department is now focusing on "neglect". We have been filling out PB 22's alot more than we ever did. Is anyone else coming across the same? How are you handling it? What and how do you decide ..its ok to handle internally and not file a PB 22 ? Some of the things that have happened...I dont feel needed a PB 22. A reasonable nurse would of done the same thing? But the facility filed one anyway.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
