Commissioner Namahoe stated that the reason she asked is that in <br />comparing MICT O’Neil’s report against the Puna Community Medical <br />Center, she noticed the difference in separation of SPO2 within 15 <br />minutes. <br />Chief Oliveira replied that a report is electronically done and it is <br />acknowledged in the statements that that’s the piece which was not <br />completed as normal procedure. A corrective action was taken to prevent <br />itfrom happening again. <br />Commissioner Taniguchi asked Chief Oliveira if the HCFD 100 Article 80 <br />Draft Amendment relative to station visitation was implemented. <br />Chief Oliveira replied everything has been implemented and that the <br />department has policies and procedures for our front end as well as <br />patient care.

He acknowledged that a document should have <br />12 <br /> <br />
