There has been an increase in NF providers receiving multiple Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) tags for single incidents. Some of the trending incidents are one-person lifts and elopements. We are collecting feedback from providers on IJs they have received and coordinating efforts with other associations to address concerns with KDADS. Send any comments or feedback on this topic to Kylee Childs. 

In related news, McKnight’s released an article on a study that identified increased founded complaints are associated with high administrator and DON turnover. You can read more on that study HERE.
