Failure to remove door wedges allows the doors to remain open and potentially exposes patients to smoke in the case of a fire.

Based on observation the hospital failed to maintain the electrical wiring and equipment in compliance with the National Electrical Code.
Failure to properly maintain electrical wiring and electrical equipment in safe operating condition places the patients at risk for possible injury from an electrical fire.
Finding:
On 1/10/2012 during a tour of the hospital the surveyor observed an overload current protection device which powered a coffee maker in the MIS work area. The power cord was plugged into an electrical receptacle in the MIS Supervisor office and run through the door opening into the main MIS work area. The electrical power cord could be pinched in the door frame and damage the power cord.
