Hospitals across the country continue to face challenges in maintaining compliance with federal regulations and accreditation standards, and South Dakota is no exception. Recent data highlights that many of the most frequently cited deficiencies in South Dakota acute care hospitals are centered around three critical areas: infection prevention, patient rights, and nursing services.
These findings are consistent with nationwide trends observed during complaint investigations and general certification surveys. In response, a focused educational session will be offered to explore these deficiencies in depth, providing insight into both the root causes and effective strategies for resolution.
This session will take a close look at the most problematic deficiencies affecting hospitals today and break down the guidelines surveyors use to evaluate compliance. Understanding these criteria is essential for hospitals striving to maintain the highest standards of patient care and safety.
This session will take place virtually on July 10 from 11 am – 12:30 pm CT / 10 am – 11:30 am MT. Click here to register.
