Survey Blues

Dear Dr. Jeff: Our building has just completed its Department of Health survey — not exactly Annual Survey since we had just experienced an extra survey on infection control mandated for every nursing home in the state by our health department. As with most years, we seem to be on schedule to receive a couple of low-grade deficiencies, which were isolated and caused no actua l harm. But this survey, which most people would call “good,” left the already overstretched and exhausted staff even more demoralized and depressed.
