Residents Affected - Some
Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to protect the residents' right to be free from
medical neglect when the staff failed to notify the physician of elevated blood sugars for 1 of 5 residents,
Resident #13, and failed to follow physicians' orders for the administration of long-acting insulin for 3 of 5
residents, Residents #100, #4, and #5, reviewed for long-acting insulin administration.
The body must have insulin working 24 hours a day. If there is no glargine [Lantus/Detemir] and you have
not given rapid acting insulin within the past 3-4 hours, it is likely that your body will make ketones and is at
risk of developing life-threatening diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar Nonketotic
Syndrome (HHS) which as similar symptoms, causes, and treatments of DKA. DKA is caused by an
overload of ketones present in your blood. When your cells don't get the glucose they need for energy, your
body begins to burn fat for energy, which produces ketones. Ketones are chemicals that the body creates
when it breaks down fat to use for energy. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening problem that
affects people with diabetes. It occurs when the body starts breaking down fat at a rate that is much too
fast. The liver processes the fat into a fuel called ketones, which causes the blood to become acidic. HHS is
a potentially fatal condition that can develop when diabetic medications are not administered as directed
causing sever hyperglycemia and extreme dehydration leading to coma and death.
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #13's medical record documented the resident was admitted to the facility with the
following diagnoses: acute on chronic systolic congestive heart failure, benign prostatic hyperplasia without
lower urinary tract symptoms, chronic kidney disease stage 3, acquired absence of left leg above knee,
personal history of transient ischemic attack and cerebral infarction, cerebral infarction, subacute
osteomyelitis left ankle and foot, depression, anemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic polyneuropathy,
secondary hypertension, hyperlipidemia, pressure ulcer unstageable, and pressure ulcer of sacral region.
Review of Resident #13's physician orders dated 7/3/2023 read, Humalog Kwik-pen 100 units/ml [milliliter]
solution pen-injector, Inject as per sliding scale: if BS [blood sugar] under 60 call MD [medical doctor],
0-150 = 0 units, 151-200 = 2 units, 201-250 = 4 units, 251-300 = 6 units, 301-350 = 8 units, 351-400 = 10
units, if BS > 400 call MD.
Review of Resident #13's July 2023 Medication Administrator Record (MAR) revealed on 7/4/2023 at 11:30
AM no information was documented for blood sugar, and on 7/11/2023 at 6:30 AM blood sugar of 461 was
documented with a chart code of 9 (other/see nurses notes).

Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
During an interview on 8/31/2023 at 10:54 AM, the Medical Director stated, I was not aware that the nurses
were holding long-acting insulins. I should be notified when the nurses are holding insulins; long-acting
insulin. I should be notified if blood sugars are below 60 or above 400 unless there are different parameters
I have set. Long-acting insulin does not have any parameters for holding, so I expect to be called. I do not
think that any of my residents have had to be hospitalized due to hyperglycemia. There are concerns with
holding insulins, the elderly are not as resilient and can decompensate quickly if they have any underlying
illness. I should be notified if insulin is not administered. Nurses should follow orders and call if they have
any concerns about giving the insulin.
Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on 8/31/2023 at 11:50 AM, the Administrator stated, We did meet and discuss the
concerns about insulin and have been working on a plan of correction. I guess we should have found this
when we looked at the insulin administration. We did not complete an RCA [root cause analysis] to
determine if there were any other problems related to insulin administration. I assumed that all insulin was
being looked at. We were focusing on the recertification survey, revisit, and complaint surveys. We should
have looked at this and found that this was happening during our audits. We should have notified the
doctors that the long-acting insulin was not administered. I don't know why; I don't have an answer as to
why this was not addressed. Nurses should administer insulin when ordered by the doctor or call if they
have any concerns about administering it [the insulin].
During an interview on 8/31/2023 at 11:57 AM, Staff J, Regional Nurse Consultant stated, I did the audits of
all the residents on insulin. I did audits for what is documented on the audits, doctors' orders for insulin,
orders for hypoglycemia protocol, that nurses can verbalize the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia and
that the MAR reflects appropriate administration. I don't recall seeing documentation for holding long-acting
insulin. I don't recall whether I saw this or not. We did training with staff about insulin administration and that
did include types of insulin. I was not aware that we still have staff not administering the long-acting insulin.
I really can't say if I looked at the long-acting insulin or just that the accuchecks [an easy way to measure
blood sugar] were being called if they were documenting them correctly. I don't know exactly how the
education was completed. What exactly they went over. We did not document whether or not we looked at
the long-acting insulin when we did the PIP [performance improvement plan]. I was not involved in the PIP,
and I can't say. We should have identified it as a problem [long-acting insulin administration] and evaluated
whether the staff were administering it per orders. Long-acting insulin does not have parameters for holding
them. Nurses should have called the doctor if they had concerns about administering the insulin and
documented that they called the doctor.
Review of the PIP with the Regional Nurse Consultant, the PIP did not document identification of
long-acting insulin not being administered.
During a telephone interview on 8/31/2023 at 4:35 PM, Staff H, LPN stated, I did hold the insulin. It was
long-acting insulin. The blood sugar was below 150. I always hold the Lantus when that happens. I did not
call the doctor or text him. I thought that I was doing the right thing. I was not following doctors' orders for
that administration. There are no parameters in the order to hold the insulin. If I was concerned, I should
have called the doctor.
During a telephone interview on 9/1/2023 at 8:06 AM, Staff I, LPN stated, I did hold the insulin. I guess I
wasn't understanding that I needed to give it. I did not receive training prior to last night for insulin. We
talked about calling and documenting accuchecks. I know I should not hold

Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or

During a telephone interview on 9/1/2023 at 8:16 AM, Staff B, LPN stated, So, I guess I had a
misunderstanding of what long-acting insulin does and I would hold this for the sliding scale parameters. I
didn't understand that I shouldn't or that I wasn't following doctors' orders. I should have given the insulin.
Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on 9/1/2023 at 8:26 AM, Staff K, Regional Nurse Consultant stated, I do not have any
evidence for the dates the insulin was not administered that the doctor was notified, no texts and no
progress notes.
During an interview on 9/1/2023 at 11:10 AM, Staff D, LPN stated, I did hold insulin based on the short
acting insulin scale and I shouldn't have. I should have either given the insulin or called the doctor if I was
concerned about the resident's blood sugars. I just thought I was doing the right thing for the resident. I
really should have called the doctor.
Review of the policy and procedure titled P&P ANE [Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation] and Investigation issued
on 4/1/2022 read, It will be the policy of this facility to honor resident rights and to address with employees
the seven (7) components regarding mistreatment, abuse, neglect, sexual misconduct, injuries of unknown
source, involuntary seclusion, corporeal punishment, misappropriation of residents property or funds or use
of physical or chemical restraint not required to treat the resident's symptoms in accordance with Federal
Law. Definitions: Neglect is the failure of the facility, its employees or service providers to provide goods and
services to a resident that are necessary to avoid physical harm, pain, mental anguish, or emotional
distress. Procedure . 3. Prevention: Staff, residents and resident representatives will be instructed of how to
identify and report concerns, events, & grievances. The facility will monitor reported events to determine
any pattern, trend, or frequency exists to attempt to minimize the occurrence of injury. All events will be
addressed at the monthly Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) meeting. 5. Investigation:
The facility will conduct their own internal investigation including but not limited to staff (work history and
background screening), resident, and family/resident representative interviews, medical record reviews,
24-hour reports reviews, full body skin exam, etc. The resident's representative and physician should be
notified that there is an on-going investigation regarding the alleged incident.
The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on site on 9/1/2023 after the receipt of an acceptable immediate
jeopardy removal plan. The survey team verified the facility's action for removal of the immediate jeopardy
to prevent the likelihood of harm and/or possible death as evidenced by the following: On 8/31/2023 the
facility assessed all residents involved in the IJ situation and conducted a facility wide audit of all residents
receiving insulin to identify possible harm, side effects or injury due to holding the insulin. The facility held
an Ad Hoc QAPI meeting to discuss staff holding long-acting insulin without parameters and conducted a
root cause analysis. On 8/31/2023 and 9/1/2023 the Regional Nurse Consultant provided education to the
licensed nursing staff on long and short acting insulin administration, medication errors, following physician
orders, changes in condition and abuse and neglect for 39 out of 41 licensed staff. On 8/31/2023 the
Regional Nurse Consultant provided education and training to the facility administration on QAPI/QAA
policy and abuse and neglect policy. On 8/31/2023 and 9/1/2023 interviews were conducted with eight
licensed nursing staff who verified training was provided for abuse and neglect, long and short acting
insulin administration, following physician orders, medication errors, and change in condition notification.
Interview with the Administrator on 9/1/2023 verified that training on abuse and neglect and on quality
assurance.

During an interview on 8/31/2023 at 10:54 AM, the Medical Director stated, I was not aware that the nurses
were holding long-acting insulins. I should be notified when the nurses are holding insulins; long-acting
insulin. I should be notified if blood sugars are below 60 or above 400 unless there are different parameters
I have set. Long-acting insulin does not have any parameters for holding, so I expect to be called. I do not
think that any of my residents have had to be hospitalized due to hyperglycemia. There are concerns with
holding insulins, the elderly are not as resilient and can decompensate quickly if they have any underlying
illness. I should be notified if insulin is not administered. Nurses should follow orders and call if they have
any concerns about giving the insulin.

During an interview on 8/31/2023 at 11:50 AM, the Administrator stated, We did meet and discuss the
concerns about insulin and have been working on a plan of correction. I guess we should have found this
when we looked at the insulin administration. We did not complete an RCA [root cause analysis] to
determine if there were any other problems related to insulin administration. I assumed that all insulin was
being looked at. We were focusing on the recertification survey, revisit, and complaint surveys. We should
have looked at this and found that this was happening during our audits. We should have notified the
doctors that the long-acting insulin was not administered. I don't know why; I don't have an answer as to
why this was not addressed. Nurses should administer insulin when ordered by the doctor or call if they
have any concerns about administering it [the insulin].
During an interview on 8/31/2023 at 11:57 AM, Staff J, Regional Nurse Consultant stated, Each time 4 or
14 is documented the medication was not given per the doctors' order. The nurses did not administer the
long-acting insulin. Reviewing the orders, I see that there are no parameters to hold the medication and the
insulin should have been administered. They were not following doctors' orders. They were not following the
policies for medication administration and holding medications. They should have called the doctor if they
were concerned about administering the medications. I have no idea why they would have held the insulin. I
just don't know why they did this. Long-acting insulin does not have parameters for holding them. Nurses
should have called the doctor if they had concerns about administering the insulin and documented that
they called the doctor. The nurses were not following our policies for medication administration, notifying
doctors of changes in condition. They should have called the doctor if they had any concerns at all. I don't
know why they did not administer the insulin. I have not asked them or investigated why they did not give it.
I was not aware that long-acting insulin wasn't being given.
During a telephone interview on 8/31/2023 at 4:35 PM, Staff H, LPN stated, I did hold the insulin. It was
long-acting insulin. The blood sugar was below 150. I always hold the Lantus when that happens. I did not
call the doctor or text him. I thought that I was doing the right thing. I was not following doctors' orders for
that administration. There are no parameters in the order to hold the insulin. If I was concerned, I should
have called the doctor.
During a telephone interview on 9/1/2023 at 8:06 AM, Staff I, LPN stated, I did hold the insulin. I guess I
wasn't understanding that I needed to give it. I should not have held the insulin. I should have let the doctor
know I was holding the insulin. I was not following doctor's orders when I held the long-acting insulin.
During a telephone interview on 9/1/2023 at 8:16 AM, Staff B, LPN stated, So, I guess I had a
misunderstanding of what long-acting insulin does and I would hold this for the sliding scale parameters. I
didn't understand that I shouldn't or that I wasn't following doctors' orders. I should have given the insulin. I
was not following the policies for medication administration; I was not following the doctor orders when I
held the insulin. There are no parameters to hold long-acting insulin.
During an interview on 9/1/2023 at 8:26 AM, Staff K, Regional Nurse Consultant stated, I do not have any
evidence for the dates the insulin was not administered that the doctor was notified, no texts and no
progress notes.
During an interview on 9/1/2023 at 11:10 AM, Staff D, LPN stated, I did hold insulin based on the short
acting insulin scale and I shouldn't have. I should have either given the insulin or called the doctor if I was
concerned about the resident's blood sugars. I just thought I was doing the right thing for the resident. I
really should have called the doctor. I did not follow the doctor's orders.

I was not following our policies for calling the doctor or administering medications. I did not receive any
training related to long-acting insulin. Today we discussed long term insulin administration and that we don't
ever hold the insulin unless we call the doctor and they just put in new parameters that say below 80 call
the doctor.
During an interview on 9/1/2023 at 1:30 PM, Staff N, LPN stated, I was not trained on long- acting insulin
until today. I just was given the information about long-acting insulin today. I was not trained on this two
weeks ago.
During an interview on 9/1/2023 at 1:45 PM, Staff O, LPN stated, Two weeks ago I did not get any training
on the types of insulin or when they peak. We just got that today along with long- acting insulin that it
doesn't get held. That we need to call doctors if we hold insulin or if it's high and on neglect. I do understand
that I shouldn't hold long-acting insulin and that I have to follow doctors' orders when it comes to insulin.
During an interview on 9/1/2023 at 2:15 PM, Staff P, RN stated, I was not given insulin administration
education information before today. They did not talk to use about long-acting insulin until today. I did get
training on neglect, change of condition, following doctors' orders, the new orders to call a doctor if blood
glucose is less than eighty today. I do understand how long-acting insulin works and that I shouldn't hold it.
During an interview on 9/1/2023 at 2:25 PM, Staff Q, LPN stated, We got some training like two weeks ago
making sure orders were in if they had blood sugars below 60 and what to do, like give glucagon. I was not
trained on the types of insulin until today. We went over a printout that had the types of insulin, when they
begin to work, that we don't have parameters on Lantus and Levemir insulins only the short acting ones.
That we don't hold long-acting insulin, they also talked about following doctors' orders, calling doctors when
we need to report things like blood sugars to them.

The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on site on 9/1/2023 after the receipt of an acceptable immediate
jeopardy removal plan. The survey team verified the facility's action for removal of the immediate jeopardy
to prevent the likelihood of harm and/or possible death as evidenced by the following: On 8/31/2023 the
facility assessed all residents involved in the IJ situation and conducted a facility wide audit of all residents
receiving insulin to identify possible harm, side effects or injury due to holding the insulin. The facility held
an Ad Hoc QAPI meeting to discuss staff holding long-acting insulin without parameters and conducted a
root cause analysis. On 8/31/2023 and 9/1/2023 the Regional Nurse Consultant provided education to the
licensed nursing staff on long and short acting insulin administration, medication errors, following physician
orders, changes in condition and abuse and neglect for 39 out of 41 licensed staff. On 8/31/2023 the
Regional Nurse Consultant provided education and training to the facility administration on QAPI/QAA
policy and abuse and neglect policy. On 8/31/2023 and 9/1/2023 interviews were conducted with eight
licensed nursing staff who verified training was provided for abuse and neglect, long and short acting
insulin administration, following physician orders, medication errors, abuse, and change in condition
notification. Interview with the Administrator on 9/1/2023 verified training on abuse and neglect and on
quality assurance.

following diagnoses: Non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (a heart attack), cellulitis of left lower leg,
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease unspecified, type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic neuropathy,
bladder disorder, and essential primary hypertension.
Review of the physician order dated 8/10/2023 read, U/A [urinalysis] with C&S [culture and sensitivity] one
time only for UTI [urinary tract infection] until 8/10/2023 23:59 [11:59 PM].
Review of the physician order dated 8/11/2023 read, Cipro oral tablet 500 mg [milligrams] give 1 tablet by
mouth two times a day for infection.
Review of the Lab Results titled Urine Culture Report dated 8/12/2023 at 12:15 PM read, Report
information: Collection Date: 08/10/2023 03:36 [3:36 AM], Received date: 08/10/2023 16:15 [4:15 PM],
Reported date: 08/12/2023 12:15 [PM]. Final Report: Result > 100,000 CFU [colony forming unit]/ml [per
milliliter]. Gram negative rods. Escherichia Coli. This isolate is extended spectrum beta-lactamase [ESBL].
Sensitivity analysis: Ciprofloxacin > = 4 R [R = resistant].
Review of the progress notes dated 8/12/2023 at 11:29 AM read, Critical lab called by [laboratory's name]
for pt. [patient] positive for ESBL in the urine, MD [medical doctor] notified via phone. No new orders at this
time pending sensitivity results per MD.
Review of the progress notes for Resident #1 for the period on and about 8/12/2023 did not provide for
documentation the doctor was notified of the sensitivity analysis results.
Review of the August Medication Administration Record (MAR) for Resident #1 documented Cipro oral
tablet 500 mg one tablet was administered on 8/12/2023 at 9:00 PM, 8/13/2023 at 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM
and on 8/14/2023 at 9:00 AM.
During an interview on 8/14/2023 at 9:55 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, I was not aware that he
was taking Cipro for his urinary tract infection, and this [infection] was not sensitive to Cipro. I don't see a
note that has the staff calling [physician's name] after the initial note that states the sensitivities are
pending. It looks like we had the lab report about 45 minutes after they called [the doctor], so I'm not sure
why we didn't call him back. We should have called back and gotten the correct antibiotic ordered for him.
He did receive this medication and it will not treat his UTI. I don't know why the infection control nurse didn't
see this. We did not follow the McGeer criteria [used to meet the criteria for definitive infection] for
antibiotics. This should have been followed up on and the correct antibiotic should have been administered.
During an interview on 8/14/2023 at 11:30 AM, the Medical Doctor stated, I was called and told about the
ESBL in his urine culture, but there were no sensitivities back when I was notified so I wouldn't have
changed the antibiotic until the sensitivities were back. I was not called when

Administer the facility in a manner that enables it to use its resources effectively and efficiently.
Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility administration failed to use its resources effectively and
efficiently to attain or maintain the highest practicable physical wellbeing of each resident when not
assuming full responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the facility and failing to effectively implement a
QAPI/QAA plan. The administration failed to identify medication errors for residents who were not
administered long-acting insulin as ordered by the physician and failed to ensure physician notification
when medication orders were not followed and residents had change of condition for 4 of 7 residents,
Resident #13, #100, #4, and #5.
Residents Affected - Some
The body must have insulin working 24 hours a day. If there is no glargine [Lantus/Detemir] and you have
not given rapid acting insulin within the past 3-4 hours, it is likely that your body will make ketones and is at
risk of developing life-threatening diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar Nonketotic
Syndrome (HHS) which as similar symptoms, causes, and treatments of DKA. DKA is caused by an
overload of ketones present in your blood. When your cells don't get the glucose they need for energy, your
body begins to burn fat for energy, which produces ketones. Ketones are chemicals that the body creates
when it breaks down fat to use for energy. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening problem that
affects people with diabetes. It occurs when the body starts breaking down fat at a rate that is much too
fast. The liver processes the fat into a fuel called ketones, which causes the blood to become acidic. HHS is
a potentially fatal condition that can develop when diabetic medications are not administered as directed
causing severe hyperglycemia and extreme dehydration leading to coma and death.

During an interview on 8/31/2023 at 9:55 AM, Staff J, Regional Nurse Consultant stated, We have done a
PIP [performance improvement plan] for insulin administration. We did this about a week ago and we have
been auditing. We did a whole house audit of all residents who are being administered insulin. I will get that
for you.
During an interview on 8/31/2023 at 10:54 AM, the Medical Director stated, I was not aware that the nurses
were holding long-acting insulins. I should be notified when the nurses are holding insulin, long-acting
insulin. I should be notified if blood sugars are below 60 or above 400 unless there are different parameters
I have set. Long-acting insulin does not have any parameters for holding, so I expect to be called. I do not
think that any of my residents have had to be hospitalized due to hyperglycemia. There are concerns with
holding insulins, the elderly are not as resilient and can decompensate quickly if they have any underlying
illness. I should be notified if insulin is not administered. Nurses should follow orders and call if they have
any concerns about giving the insulin.
During an interview on 8/31/2023 at 11:50 AM, the Administrator stated, We did meet and discuss the
concerns about insulin and have been working on a plan of correction. I guess we should have found this
when we looked at the insulin administration. We did not complete an RCA [root cause analysis] to
determine if there were any other problems related to insulin administration. I assumed that all insulin was
being looked at. We were focusing on the recertification survey, revisit, and complaint surveys. We should
have looked at this and found that this was happening during our audits. We should have notified the
doctors that the long-acting insulin was not administered. I don't know why; I don't have an answer as to
why this was not addressed. Nurses should administer insulin when ordered

During an interview on 8/31/2023 at 11:57 AM, Staff J, Regional Nurse Consultant stated, Each time 4 or
14 is documented the medication was not given per the doctors' order. The nurses did not administer the
long-acting insulin. Reviewing the orders, I see that there are no parameters to hold the medication and the
insulin should have been administered. They were not following doctors' orders. They were not following the
policies for medication administration and holding medications. They should have called the doctor if they
were concerned about administering the medications. I have no idea why they would have held the insulin. I
just don't know why they did this. Long-acting insulin does not have parameters for holding them. Nurses
should have called the doctor if they had concerns about administering the insulin and documented that
they called the doctor. The nurses were not following our policies for medication administration, notifying
doctors of changes in condition. They should have called the doctor if they had any concerns at all. I don't
know why they did not administer the insulin. I have not asked them or investigated why they did not give it.
I was not aware that long-acting insulin wasn't being given. I don't know what the DON [Director of Nursing]
knew or investigated. I did the audits of all the residents on insulin. I did audits for what is documented on
the audits, doctors' orders for insulin, orders for hypoglycemia protocol, that nurses can verbalize the signs
and symptoms of hypoglycemia and that the MARs reflect appropriate administration. I don't recall seeing
documentation for holding long-acting insulin. I don't recall whether I saw this or not. We did training with
staff about insulin administration and that did include types of insulin. I was not aware that we still have staff
not administering the long-acting insulin. I really can't say if I looked at the long-acting insulin or just that the
accuchecks [an easy way to measure blood sugar] were being called and if they were documenting them
correctly. I don't know exactly how the education was completed. What exactly they went over. We did not
document whether or not we looked at the long-acting insulin when we did the PIP. I was not involved in the
PIP, and I can't say. We should have identified it as a problem [long-acting insulin administration] and
evaluated whether the staff were administering it per orders. Long-acting insulin does not have parameters
for holding them. Nurses should have called the doctor if they had concerns about administering the insulin
and documented that they called the doctor.
Residents Affected - Some
Review of a Full House audit titled Diabetes Insulin dated 8/23/23 was completed and included: 1. MD
[Medical Doctor] order with dx [diagnosis] for insulin. **** Sliding scale orders should include instructions
such as MD notification for BG [blood glucose] > 400 or < 70. 2. MD order for hypoglycemia emergency
response. 3. Nurse assigned to patient can verbalize the s/s [signs and symptoms] of hypoglycemia. 4.
MAR documentation supports appropriate administration. (i.e., . MD notified for BG > 400 or < 70).
[Long-acting insulins were not included in this audit].
Review of the document titled Performance Improvement Plan dated 8/23/23 read, Objective and goal:
Insulin administration/following physician orders. The facility will respond with the development of a charter
PIP as well as an investigation. Initiative: 1. Immediate corrections to ensure safety of affected resident(s).
2. Identification of any other residents who may be affected or at risk. 3: Interventions put into place to
prevent the incident from occurring again. 4. Plan for future follow up to ensure that interventions are
working. Action Steps: During a quality system review, it was identified that physician's orders, as it pertains
to insulin administration were not followed at times or action taken related to variation from physician orders
were not documented in the clinical record. A comprehensive audit of active residents in the facility with
orders for insulin administration was conducted to identify concerns related to insulin administration in
accordance with physician orders 30 days no concerns. Responsible person(s): DNS/designee. Target date:
8/23/23.
