(X4) ID PREFIX TAG SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES (Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 07/18/24 at 1:48 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA). The NHA said, I conducted an investigation. I observed her bed which was the door bed. She had two little impressions or skin tears that looked like an equals (=) sign. I noticed a small amount of blood on the wheel of her wheelchair, larger than a nickel. The blood was by the connection of the wheelchair and the footrest. I saw a skid mark from the shoe, a sneaker on the floor. The bed was moved like she had slid from the bed. The fall was not witnessed. No one saw her on the floor, and no one put her back to bed. From history, she has poor safety awareness. We had educated her to use the call light. She preferred to be independent. She had been rounded on within the hour and throughout the shift. The NHA stated she did not report the injury because they had conducted a risk assessment and determined the injury came from a fall that was not witnessed. The NHA stated she was not speculating but had analyzed based on furniture placement and a small amount of blood on the wheelchair. She stated she did not consider the injury to be from a different source or the possibility someone with a different object could have struck the resident. She confirmed there was no one in the room when the injury occurred. She confirmed the resident was not observed on the floor. The resident was found on her bed, leaning to her side. The NHA stated she had conducted her own analysis of the situation and determined the cause of injury was unwitnessed fall. Review of a Facility policy titled, Abuse and Neglect Prohibition, dated 08/2023, showed each resident has the right to be free from mistreatment, neglect, abuse, involuntary seclusion, exploitation, and misappropriation of propriety. Under definitions: Serious bodily injury means an injury involving extreme physical pain, involving substantial risk of death . Under Reporting and Response (1.) The center will report all allegations and substantiated occurrences of abuse, neglect . to the state/federal agency and law enforcement officials as designated by state/federal law. Review of a facility policy titled, Incident Reporting for Residents and Visitors, dated 08/2023 showed an adverse event is an untoward, undesirable, and usually unanticipated event that causes death or serious injury or risk thereof. Under procedure (4.) The facility Risk Manager or designee must notify the appropriate state agency as required by state regulations. The exact date, time, and the name of contact at the state agency must be recorded on the appropriate investigation. Review of a document titled, Job Description - Administrator, dated 03/15/18, showed the Administrator serves as the Risk Manager of the center. Ensures compliance with applicable legal, regulatory, accreditation and reimbursement guidelines and standards.
