Oct 10, 20196 yr What type of errors are we talking about? It’s hard to tell when you ask such a vague question.
Oct 10, 20196 yr Errors can be corrected and aren't typically "BON report" material. A lot of states have disciplinary actions online. You might be able to browse and see if you run into something similar to what you're dealing with.
Oct 10, 20196 yr Agreed, charting errors aren’t typical BON material... unless we are taking about fraud? Or if someone is seriously lying on their charting. But honestly... many people get away with: Little Old Man #1 has great bilateral pedal pulses when in reality he has had bilateral above the knee amputations... sooooo there’s that.
Oct 13, 20196 yr Expert Oh Yeah! Ms. Grey is alert oriented x 3 , had a restful night and sleeping in her chair. I walk in after report and find Ms Grey quite grey, very cold and sleeping her eternal sleep in the chair minus a pulse! Thankfully she was a DNR/DNI------!
Oct 14, 20196 yr BON responsibilities vary from State to State. I have never heard of a random "investigation" by the BON, so I am assuming you are referring to a specific complaint made to them. Once again, varies by Board and severity of the complaint. If it is a violation of the state Nurse Practice Act, it could result in disciplinary action against the subject of the complaint. But usually drags on forever.
