St. Christopher's Hospital is working toward a full license at a time of leadership turnover.
The hospital for children has unable to pass an inspection and has been running under a temporary agreement.
The state issued a six-month license for St. Christopher’s in July, after inspectors found a litany of safety, sanitation, and patient privacy issues. Among the privacy violations, children in the emergency department were being required to wear lime green scrubs so that staff could easily identify them as patients with serious mental health issues.On their return visit in November, inspectors found that the scrubs issue and most of the problems had been fixed, but identified new violations.
“St. Christopher’s is always making improvements to ensure that we continue to provide the highest quality services to a diverse community, working collaboratively with the Department of Health,” Paul Healy, a hospital spokesperson, said in anSt. Christopher’s is a critical resource in the North Philadelphia neighborhoods it serves. Families there experience high rates of childhood asthma, obesity, and behavioral health issues, and often have few other places to turn for care.
Inspectors cited the hospital for having dirty patient rooms and food preparation areas, and for failing to properly oversee housekeeping staff. Inspectors also found that doctors in the infusion and dialysis departments were improperly ordering medications orally, instead of through the written protocol that is designed to reduce medication errors.
But inspectors said that the bright outfits violated patient privacy rights and that the hospital should instead provide one-on-one observation for patients who they believed were at risk of harming themselves or others.
