What do you think?

We just recently finished with our state survey and were cited on toileting and repostioning. We have a resident that is to be repositioned Q1 hr, well, that got missed, now there is a timer on the door that is set to go off every hour. Wouldn't that be considered a violation of HIPPA? or at least that resident's privacy?

I'm just wondering what others think.... to me it's not appropriate!

spenco mattresses are great, don't need to disturb the client as often.

don't know what about your regulations but a timer on a door sounds rediculous. how did they know the person wasn't being turned? my guess is that they were informed, had there been a bigger problem?
