The defibrillator check strips were missing for the following dates: 05/19/2021, 06/17/2021, 06/18/2021, 06/19/2021, and 06/20/2021.

2. On 06/23/2021, at approximately 1:30 PM, the Hospital's policy titled, "Code Blue/Yellow Crash Cart" (revised 07/2020), was reviewed and required, "...1.

4. On 06/23/2021, at approximately 10:00 AM, the Charge Nurse (E #2) and ED Nurse Manager (E #3) were interviewed. E #2 stated that the nurse assigned to check the crash carts should have signed the crash cart log and placed the defibrillator strips to make sure its functioning on the days in question. E #3 stated that if the crash cart is not checked, then during an emergency situation if non-functional it would be difficult.

B. Based on observation, document review and interview, it was determined that for 9 of 9 (Pt. #11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19) electronic clinical records, the Hospital failed to logoff the computer to ensure that the clinical records were secured and not visible to anyone, as required per policy.

2. On 06/23/2021 at approximately 1:00 PM, the Hospital's policy used by the ED titled, "HIPAA [Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act] Sanctions" (dated 06/2020) was reviewed and required, "...Procedure: 1.
