According to a story by MyFox9 reports that the Minnesota Department of Health has determined that Regions Hospital is to blame for the death of one patient and the second degree burns of another, including an event where a nursing home resident was dropped off at the nursing home but never assisted with entering the facility. The resident was apparently left outside from 2:00 am to 5:00 am after a visit to the hospital. For the rest of the story see: MDH Investigates Regions Hospital Neglect Cases.
These are examples of how a lack of supervision, over sight and care in medical facilities is leading to serious preventable injuries and death of vulnerable adults.
