Waters of Scottsburg: Treatment Order Failures - IN
Federal inspectors found the facility failed to maintain current and complete health records during a January complaint investigation. Resident F, who suffers from both acute and chronic respiratory failure along with congestive heart failure, last had documented physician contact on October 23, 2025.
The Director of Nursing told inspectors on January 28 that both the physician and nurse practitioner had visited residents but couldn't explain why the notes were missing from records. A Licensed Practical Nurse said the physician's nurse practitioner claimed the notes had been uploaded to their computer system and needed to be retrieved by the facility.
Only after inspectors questioned the missing documentation did the Director of Nursing scramble to produce the records. On January 29 at 1:36 p.m., she provided copies of physician and nurse practitioner visits that had been electronically signed by the doctor on January 28 at or after 3:42 p.m. — the same day inspectors discovered the gap.
Federal regulations require physicians to review each resident's total program of care during required visits and write, sign and date progress notes. The facility's own policies state that resident records must be kept current, complete and available at all times.
The citation affects multiple complaint cases and highlights broader record-keeping failures at the 47170 facility. Waters of Scottsburg's inability to produce basic physician documentation for a resident with life-threatening conditions raises questions about care oversight and regulatory compliance.
The missing records spanned months for a resident whose complex medical conditions require close physician monitoring and documentation.
