Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas will face a re-survey that will determine its Medicare status at the end of this month, according to a Forbes report.
Parkland Memorial has been mired in controversy since CMS determined it had committed a string of patient safety violations, including EMTALA violations, infection control deficiencies and improper nursing staff levels. The hospital has since submitted a corrective action plan, which was approved by CMS.
Parkland Memorial previously had until today to demonstrate compliance, but CMS pushed the date of the re-survey back to the end of this month in order to give state regulators time to complete their reports on the re-survey.
