Summary

Facility staff failed to maintain the privacy and confidentiality of a resident's medical records when an electronic medical record was left open and visible on a computer screen atop an unlocked and unattended medication cart in a hallway. The unattended cart, located outside a resident's room, displayed the resident's medications and allowed access to additional information. This lapse was observed by a surveyor, and the responsible LPN acknowledged leaving the computer screen open by mistake. The incident was brought to the attention of the Director of Nursing.
