admitted on [DATE]. Resident #134's diagnoses which included sepsis without septic shock (a
life-threatening medical emergency caused by body's overwhelming response to an infection) and
bacteremia (the presence of bacteria in blood).

hours. The Corporate Analyst said this meant that the facility was going to be triggered for not having
licensed nursing coverage due to this. The Corporate Analyst said they identified the issue last quarter and
corrected it so that going forward it would not happen anymore.
