Complaint Investigation Report

that sustained a laceration was bandaged by hospital personnel. Subsequently, on a later date, C1 returned for additional medical attention for the same laceration, at which time, it was discovered that glass remained in C1’s hand from the initial incident. During the visit, C1’s hand wound was reopened to allow for removal of the glass. A search of incident reports received by CCL did not yield any special incident report notifying of the incident or transport of C1 to any facility for medical services in response to this incident.

Accordingly, the allegation is substantiated. This finding means that the preponderance of evidence standard has been met and the allegation is valid. Deficiency is cited in accordance with California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8 and noted on the attached LIC 9099-D.
