F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few fall the DON reviewed the Resident's records and stated, the next fall was on 8/19/2022, the nurse says she was called to the patio and the nurse went to the patio to assess the patient that had a fall, the patient was found on right lateral position, she was complaining of pain in right leg, she had swollen and shortening or lateral rotation of extremity, they assess her and assisted her to her wheelchair. They ordered Xray-STAT (term used as directive to medical personnel during in an emergency situation, means instantly), family and MD were notified. When asked about if the resident sustained any injuries she stated, I will have to check if she sustained any injuries at this time, I do not see any fractures for that last one. When prompted to an Xray in October 2022. She reviewed Resident #11's Xray results then she stated, in October there was another result, it was compression in hip, screw in hip and deformity of proximal right femur, osteopenic of bone, they describe as deformity not fracture, she had a screw and the osteopenia, and the screw caused the deformity, apparently it was not due to a fall as there is vascular calcification. I see on the notes that she had a follow up with vascular and this was not due to fracture. The resident went to see a vascular surgeon and an angioplasty was done in December; this was not a fracture. Surveyor prompted DON to go to a progress note dated 8/31/22 in regard to a mentioned fracture she stated, I can tell you that everything was related to the screw previously mentioned, everything was related to the deformity, and everything was followed up with vascular. There is an MD note on 8/31/22, the fall was on 8/19 and 8/13. She started reading the note and stated, she presented to the hospital with right hip pain, apparently that femur fracture was before she was admitted here, she has a history of hip fracture and was placed for rehabilitation, they do not say when the fall was, when they did the Xray, she already had a screw. It describes a history of not an acute fracture. My understanding from what I am reading on that doctor's note is that she had the screw in place already as we did an Xray, and she already had the screw. When prompted to Narrative Nurse Note dated 8/26/2022 with context pt re admitted from [local hospital], alert and oriented x3. spoke with daughter [] and informed her that pt. arrived and refusing treatment. daughter states she understands no distress noted, the DON stated, this was due to pain in right leg this was the reason for this hospitalization. Upon all this complaining of pain she was referred to vascular, they found the calcification of veins then she was referred to vascular. On that Xray that was mentioned before, there is no fracture and a few days later she kept complaining of pain and she was sent out on the 23rd and she returned on the 26th, which is this note. During a Phone Interview with the Registered Nurse/Physician Dialysis and in the presence of NHA and DON on 06/15/2023 at 9:40 AM. When asked about the Resident #11, he stated yes, I remembered Resident #11. Surveyor stated yesterday when you were interviewed what was your answer when I asked if there were any incidents with the resident, what did you state? He said, No. Then surveyor proceeded and asked one more time, were there any incidents that you know of that involve Resident #11? He stated, yes, there was one day that she fell down and she had a hip fracture, she was sent to the hospital after. I remembered that she had a fall. When asked about transferring patients from their rooms to the dialysis room he stated, we do not transfer the patient from the dialysis room to their room or from their room to the dialysis room. It is our policy not to. I remember that before the patient starts the treatment, we go to see if they are ready, we go to their room to remind them to get the dialysis. The reason I remember that day, the dialysis was ready, and she took a little long, so I went to check again and at that time she was wheeling herself down the hallway, she was going to get a smoke and she was trying to get over the hump, and I saw her fall down. I got the DON, and with other staff we helped her get into the chair.

F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few the wheelchair at the time of the fall he stated, I was not touching the chair I was walking up to her and then she tried to get over the hump with her wheelchair and she fell forward. When asked about Resident #11 reason for hospitalizations, the Nursing Home Administrator stated, I just do not recall right now, I remembered why she was hospitalized , I just don't recall right now, I am trying to recall I apologize. After speaking with Social Services Director, the Nursing Home Administrator rejoined the interview and he stated, I do remember, I'm pretty sure this is the resident, the fall she had on the patio, the dialysis person was trying to get her over the hump, the threshold as she was having trouble, the dialysis gentleman was trying to help. Everybody afterwards met and we discussed this. She alleged a fall. I remember I spoke with the dialysis person, the dialysis company, with the internal team and the resident. We did have a discussion all around with everyone and we realized that the intention was for him to assist her there was not issue in him assisting her. Surveyor asked about documentation, and he stated that the former DON had everything, and he was going to provided it as soon as he found it. He stated, for the dates, I need to verify the dates, we should have some notation indicating that. I remember discussing with the former DON, she was obtaining statements from everyone. I remember telling her to let the corporate nurse know. When the family called concerning what happened, there was no allegation of an injury. If there is an injury related to a fall it all depends on the circumstances we file a report, I need to get the investigation papers to find out. The DON in charge and Corporate Nurse are not here anymore. When asked about the protocol to follow when there is a fall with injury, he stated, when there is a fall with injury the protocol is, we do an investigation, we obtain statements, and we notify family, doctors, place interventions for that, and we do a root cause analysis. He also sated, we did recognize this issue and we got cited for Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) last survey, we got a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) going for falls, and we have seen a dramatic improvement in regard of falls, also for falls we file all the right avenues, we make sure it is done in a timely manner and we notify everybody. At 10:10 AM on 06/15/2023 the Nursing Home Administrator stated, we did find the investigation report for Resident #11. He reviewed the investigation report binder and he stated, We did obtain the statements of all involve parties including the Registered Nurse/Physician Dialysis. There is a written investigation, we did an initial Xray, and this came back negative. When asked about State or Federal reporting, he stated, We did know of the fractured hip; however, this was completely out of our control and there is nothing we could have done to prevent this further and that is what the investigation determined. The adverse event, again the investigation determined that it was beyond our control, and it did not require the subsequent adverse reporting, we do a very thorough investigation determination, and this did not require as we could have not done anything further to prevent this.
