F000 PROVIDER'S PLAN OF CORRECTION (EACH CORRECTIVE ACTION SHOULD BE CROSS-REFERENCED TO THE APPROPRIATE DEFICIENCY) (X5) COMPLETE DATE The following reflects the findings of the California Department of Public Health during a standard abbreviated survey regarding investigation of an entity reported incident conducted on 1/17/19. For Entity Reported Incident CA00610378 regarding Quality of Care, federal deficiencies were identified (see F684 and 690). A federal deficiency was identified for a violation unrelated to the entity reported incident (see
F758). A "G" level deficiency was identified for F690. A Class "B" citation was also issued. Inspection was limited to the specific entity reported incident investigated and does not represent the findings of a full inspection of the facility. Representing the California Department of Public Health: 32276, Health Facilities Evaluator Nurse.

Based on the comprehensive assessment of a resident, the facility must ensure that residents receive treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive personcentered care plan, and the residents' choices. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to follow thier policy and procedure for congestive heart failure (CHF, occurs when your heart muscle doesn't pump blood as well as it should, and blood and other fluids can back up inside the lungs, abdomen, liver, and lower body) for one of four sampled residents (Resident 1). This failure had the potential for unmet care needs and worsening health conditions. Findings: During a review of the clinical record for Resident 1, the Order Review Report dated 11/13/18, indicated "CHF PROTOCOL: daily weight before breakfast. Notify MD (medical doctor) if 2 lb over admission weight or 3 over admission weight in 4 days every shift [sic]...fill out CHF SHEET on binder every shift."

Initiate a care plan for indwelling urinary catheter care and assessment, and 3. Remove the indwelling urinary catheter per the medical doctor's (MD's) orders. These failures resulted in a delay of care for Resident 1 who was transferred on 10/30/18 via 911 (emergency services) to a general acute care hospital (GACH) and subsequently admitted with a diagnosis of severe sepsis (an overwhelming and life-threatening immune response to infection) with acute organ (kidney) dysfunction due to UTI. Resident 1 was a 73-year-old male who was admitted to the facility on 10/22/18 for rehabilitation after a CVA (cerebrovascular accident or stroke-when blood flow to a part of the brain stops). Resident 1 had a history of hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol), degenerative disk disease (back or neck pain caused by wear-and-tear on a spinal disc), atrial fibrillation (irregular and often rapid heart rate), hypertension (high blood pressure), dementia (loss of mental ability severe enough to interfere with normal activities of daily living), and congestive heart failure (the heart's function as a pump is inadequate to meet the body's needs).
