The Minnesota Department of Health removed St. Cloud Hospital from “immediate jeopardy” status at 11:00am Friday. The department accepted action steps taken in recent days by the organization and moved the hospital to “condition-level noncompliance” as a participant in the federal Medicare program. The hospital was under review after a fatal shooting last month. The review determined the hospital did not comply with Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services requirements, placing its residents in danger. The hospital was placed in “immediate jeopardy” status. That means the the hospital’s “noncompliance … caused, or is likely to cause, serious injury, harm, impairment, or death to a resident,”. However they were removed from immediate jeopardy status Friday.
