Browse Hospital Violation Reports

Specializes in Critical Care.

The Association of Healthcare Journalists has launched a new site where you can search violation reports by Hospital/state (limited to those that have been discovered through Freedom of Information Act requests). I'm sure there are some juicy ones buried in there but it's difficult to just browse them based on the type of violation.

Be sure to share if you find any really good ones.

I haven't found anything near that good, mostly failures to properly document restraints on intubated patients, pretty tame.

Pimple-popper-CRNA is definitely the front runner so far.

Good grief. I'd love to say "what was he thinking?" but obviously he wasn't thinking at all.

I can only find one hospital near me that had any, and it was for a broken dishwasher in the kitchen. Yawn.

This is disturbing to say the least. Look at the report with the tag # A0145.
