"NEVER Events"

Published

NM said yesterday theres like 15+ NEVER events and they (Medicaid/Medicare, I think) are going to be releasing a bunch more by next year.

All I know are Pressure ulcers and falls. I'm thinking any kind of nosocomial infection might be on that list, too? What are these NEVER events?

:eek: What's the doc smoking?

He's not smoking, the hospital is cracking down on caths.....to lower the UTI rates. He won't be the one eating the cost of treatment, the hospital will.
