**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility's interdisciplinary team (IDT, team composed of members from
different departments involved in resident's care) failed to review and revise the fall risk care plan after a fall
incident for one of four residents (Resident 1).
This failure had the potential to result in Resident 1 experiencing further falls.
Findings:
Review of Resident 1's admission Record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses
including pathological fracture (broken bones caused by disease) in neoplastic disease, pelvis, unspecified
B-cell lymphoma (a type of cancer), severe obesity due to excess calories, and neoplastic related fatigue
(persistent feeling of exhaustion caused by cancer and its treatments).
Review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool), dated 10/3/24, indicated Resident
1's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, an assessment to test a person's cognition level) score was 14
(a score of 13-15 indicates the resident is cognitively intact).
Review of Resident 1's Post Fall Evaluation, dated 10/15/24, indicated Resident 1 had an unwitnessed fall
inside her bedroom.
Review of Resident 1's fall risk care plan, revised 10/9/24, indicated the care plan was not reviewed and
revised after the fall incident on 10/15/24 to prevent further falls.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 10/28/24 at 10:33 a.m., with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 1's fall risk care plan was reviewed. The DON confirmed Resident 1 was a fall risk and
had fallen in the facility. The DON further confirmed the fall risk care plan was not updated when Resident 1
fell on [DATE].
During a follow-up interview with the DON on 10/28/24 at 12:54 p.m., the DON confirmed that if a resident
falls, the fall risk care plan should be updated.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive Person
-Centered, revised March 2022, the P&P indicated, 11. Assessment of residents are ongoing and care
plans are revised as information about the residents and the residents' condition change. 12. The
interdisciplinary team reviews and updates the care plan: a. when there has been a significant change in
the resident's condition.
