We did not substantiate that an intentional unsafe act occurred or that the patient died as a result of the incident. We determined that managers did not follow Veterans Health Administration or medical center policy related to allegations of patient abuse. We recommended that managers ensure staff immediately report suspected incidents of patient abuse and that further actions are taken, in accordance with VHA and medical center policy."
