Kahl Home for Aged & Infirmed: Quality Standards - IA

Healthcare Facility
Kahl Home For The Aged & Infirmed
Davenport, IA  ·  3/5 stars

Inspectors cited the facility on December 30, 2025, under a deficiency that covers professional standards of care. The violation was rated as causing minimal harm or potential for actual harm, and affected a small number of residents.

The problem centered on how orders were being entered and authenticated. A complete order is supposed to include the drug or treatment, the dosage, the route of administration, the frequency, the reason it was ordered, the name of the prescribing physician or provider, and a nurse sign-off within the facility's electronic records system. Inspectors found that process was not being followed consistently.

The facility uses PointClickCare, a widely used electronic health records platform in long-term care. Under the system's own guidelines, a physician or provider is expected to authenticate orders directly through the software's order portal. When that isn't possible, the order can be printed and signed in ink, but then the signed document must be scanned back into PointClickCare and the order flagged as signed in wet ink.

Neither path was being reliably completed.

The facility's own plan of correction, filed in response to the citation, spelled out the steps that should have been happening all along: complete orders at the time of entry, physician authentication within state-required timeframes, proper notation when wet ink signatures are used, and follow-through with labs or pharmacy once the order is finalized.

The inspection was triggered by a complaint. The deficiency was tagged F0658, which addresses the requirement that a facility provide care that meets professionally recognized standards.

Kahl Home for the Aged & Infirmed is located at 6701 Jersey Ridge Road in Davenport. For a resident dependent on medications or treatments ordered through a system that isn't being properly completed or authenticated, the gap between what was ordered and what was actually administered can be difficult to detect until something goes wrong.
