Summary
A handwritten list titled 'Diabetics' containing the names of four residents with diabetes was posted on the wall in the activity room, which was visible through a window from the lobby. This allowed anyone visiting the facility to see the list, compromising the privacy and confidentiality of the residents' medical diagnoses. The activity room was used daily by both residents and staff. During an interview, the Activities Director stated that the list was intended to help ensure residents with diabetes received appropriate snacks, but she was unaware that posting the list constituted a privacy and confidentiality issue.
