Oregon State Hospital In Jeopardy Status

(Salem, OR)  --  The Oregon State Hospital has been placed in Immediate Jeopardy Status for failure to properly monitor patients.  The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services says an inspection found the staff wasn't conducting hourly checks of patient location and wellness.  Interim Superintendent Dr. Sara Walker says in-person checks are disruptive while patients are sleeping.  They're looking for technology solutions that are less intrusive.  The hospital is working on a plan to meet the requirements which will be released next week.  Without action, the hospital could lose federal funding.
