Pediatric hospital takes additional quality steps
May 2, 2019 - Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital said federal regulator have offered the hospital a chance to enter a systems improvement agreement in order to correct problems and avoid termination of participation in the Medicare program. The hospital also said in a note to employees that state regulators have requested a new plan of correction related specifically to infection control findings by early May. The hospital, which had a high number of deaths in its cardiology program, said “immediate jeopardy” status was lifted in February as a result of earlier corrective action plans.
