$25,000 PENALTY
FOR
KAISER'S DRUG ERROR
Kaiser-Santa Clara
hospital fined after baby's death
By
Barbara Feder Ostrov
Mercury News
Kaiser-Santa Clara hospital was fined $25,000
Thursday by state
health officials after a medication error killed a severely ill baby,
in a disturbing replay of two similar incidents since 2004.
The baby boy, born with a genetic disorder that caused a
dangerous
buildup of ammonia in his body, received two medications that had been
improperly packaged. One medication, a nutritional supplement,
was given at about 25 times the prescribed dose; the
other drug was given at about nine times the prescribed dose.
The infant died on Feb. 24 at 7
weeks old.

SANTA CLARA The Kaiser Foundation Hospital
in Santa Clara has
been penalized by the California Department of Public Health for policy
failures that led to the death of a newborn from over-medication.
The hospital was
penalized because the death was a result of "substandard care," CDPH
spokeswoman Suanne Buggy said.

In July, a 12-year-old girl hospitalized at Kaiser
Permanente Medical
Center-Santa
Clara was mistakenly given a double dose of
epinephrine,
which
speeds up the heart
rate, state records show. Josephine
Frances Hart, a San
Jose resident who
loved to play with marbles,
died
July 26, the same day of the error. Her official
cause of death is
still being investigated
by the county coroner's office, but state
health
investigators determined that a nurse
failed to check the medication
label.
