Florida didn t ensure abuse and neglect reporting in nursing homes

Getty Images A federal watchdog found that Florida didn t make sure that nursing homes were reporting or looking into allegations of potential abuse or neglect of Medicaid beneficiaries. After reviewing 104 hospital claims for 2016 emergency department visits of Medicaid nursing home residents, HHS Office of Inspector General found that nursing facilities failed to report at least 15 incidents associated with potential abuse or neglect because nursing facility officials and state officials did not have the same understanding about what incidents must be reported, according to the report. Another seven cases didn t have enough information filed to determine if the incident should have been reported.
