Six months of inspections at Holy Redeemer Hospital: September to February
Inspectors did not find any problems at Holy Redeemer Hospital during on-site visits between September and January.
No safety problems were identified during on-site state inspections at Holy Redeemer Hospital in Montgomery County between September and February.
Here’s a look at the publicly available details:
Jan. 2: Inspectors found the hospital in compliance with requirements in a follow-up visit stemming from a previous patient record-keeping violation. In August 2023, the hospital was cited for using an incorrect form containing pre-filled treatment information for patients voluntarily admitted to the inpatient behavioral health unit. The hospital removed the substitute forms, educated admissions staff to use the state’s form, and agreed to monitor charts for three months to ensure the correct forms were used.
Jan. 2: Inspectors investigated a complaint but found the hospital was in compliance. Complaint details are not made public when inspectors determine it was unfounded.
Feb. 15: Inspectors investigated a complaint but found the hospital was in compliance. Complaint details are not made public when inspectors determine it was unfounded.
Pennsylvania Department of Health routinely inspects hospitals to ensure the facility is safe for patients and that staff are following all safety protocols. Inspectors may also visit when a hospital staff member or patient files a complaint.
Not all safety violations spark an on-site investigation from inspectors. Hospitals are required to self-report the most serious safety violations and often work directly with the state to address them. Complaint details are not made public when inspectors determine it was unfounded.
