(Salem, OR) – Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has informed Oregon State Hospital (OSH) administrators that the hospital is no longer in immediate jeopardy status.
CMS surveyors were on the Salem campus after OSH reported a patient death shortly after arrival. While on site, CMS surveyors noted Code Blue emergency equipment in the Admissions area was not stored in an organized way and was identified as a potential future safety risk.
This is still an active survey process. The next step will be the delivery of an official CMS statement of deficiencies.
