The BOM acknowledged there was not a system in place to ensure resident's quarterly statements were sent out. She checked resident #44's account and remarked, He does have a personal fund account. I was not aware he had an account. She verified the resident had not received his personal fund quarterly statements because she was not aware he had an account.

Findings: Review of the medical record revealed resident #212 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] from the hospital. Her diagnosis included hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction, dementia, obesity, dysphagia, gastrostomy status, unspecified protein-calorie malnutrition, and persistent mood disorders. Resident #212's Minimum Data Set (MDS) admission assessment with an assessment reference date of 2/18/24 revealed the resident scored 09 out of 15 on the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) that indicated she had moderately impaired cognition. The assessment also noted the resident had a feeding tube on admission that provided 51 percent or more of her total caloric intake and 501 cubic centimeters (cc) or more of her fluid intake per day. Review of resident #212's medical record revealed a care plan was initiated on 2/16/23 that indicated the resident required an enteral feeding tube to meet nutrition and hydration needs related to her disease process. A care plan initiated on 2/27/24 noted the resident required tube feeding for dysphagia and was at risk for dehydration and complications related to tube feeding. The care plan interventions included to provide tube feeding and water as ordered. Resident #212's Order Summary Report and the Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed the continuous auto flush order of 100 milliliters (ml) of water every four hours through the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube was discontinued on 2/16/24. A new physician order was initiated on 2/17/24, specifying that 42 ml of water per hour should be received by the resident for 20 hours, with the auto flush on at 2 PM and off at 10 AM. On 2/26/2024 at 2:38 PM, resident #212 was observed with Jevity 1.5 calorie tube feed formula infusing via pump at 50 ml an hour with 100 ml water auto flush set at every 6 hours. On 2/26/2024 at 2:40 PM, Registered Nurse (RN) A reviewed resident #212's enteral feeding order and stated the current order specified the resident was to receive auto water flushes set at 42 ml per hour for 20 hours. The nurse confirmed the resident's gastrostomy tube water flush currently infused at 100 ml every 6 hours, which did not match the physician's order. RN A acknowledged she initiated the tube feed at 2 PM and the water flush setting was incorrect. She stated the water flush should be set at 42 ml per hour for 20 hours. ON 2/26/24 at 3:30 PM, the Registered Dietician (RD) confirmed the resident's water flush order had changed from 100 ml every 4 hours to 42 ml every hour on 2/17/24.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure nurses monitored complication risks for 1 of 1 resident reviewed for Dialysis, of a total sample of 27 residents, (#5). Residents Affected - Some Finding: Review of the medical record revealed resident #5, an [AGE] year old female was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included end stage renal (kidney) disease, dependence on renal dialysis, chronic respiratory failure, hypoxemia (low blood oxygen), congestive heart failure (heart pumping dysfunction), cardiomyopathy (heart muscle disease), Chronic Obstructive Respiratory Disease (COPD), anemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, malnutrition, major depressive disorder, and acquired absence of both legs above the knee. After re-hospitalization, on 2/18/24 she was readmitted back to the facility with additional diagnoses that included pleural effusion (fluid in the lung space) and acute cystitis (bladder inflammation). The Minimum Data Set (MDS) Quarterly Assessment with Assessment Reference Date (ARD) 11/19/23 noted the resident scored 13 out of 15 on the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) that indicated she was cognitively intact. The assessment showed there were no rejections of evaluation or care. The assessment noted the resident required maximum assistance and was dependent on staff for mobility and to complete Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). She had gained 5% or more unplanned weight in the last month or 10% or more in the previous month, and she received hemodialysis while a resident during the look back period. The Care Plan showed there were Focus items for altered cardiovascular status, chronic and acute pain, high-risk medication adverse effects, high-risk for falls, incontinence, ADL self-care performance deficits, end stage renal disease and dialysis complication risks with interventions that nurses monitored and assessed vital signs, port access, and weights after treatments. The Order Summary Report showed active physician orders for Consistent Carbohydrate Diet/Renal Diet puree texture with a 1000 milliliters (ml) daily fluid restriction. On 2/26/24 at 10:30 AM, resident #5 was observed in her room lying in bed. On 2/27/24 at 9:53 AM, Registered Nurse (RN) C stated the resident was out of the facility for dialysis treatment. On 2/27/24 at 3:39 PM, RN A said nurses were expected to complete a handwritten dialysis communication form every time a resident went out for dialysis treatment. She stated, all completed forms were kept at the nurses station in a binder under a tab with the resident's name. The nurse explained the forms were important to track the resident's condition and monitor for changes and complications so they could notify the physician if needed. On 2/27/24 at 3:50 PM, a review of the Dialysis Book kept at the nurse's station revealed it contained a total of six Dialysis Transfer Forms for resident #5 that dated back to April 29, 2023.

RN A checked the binder and acknowledged there were only six forms for the resident, and all six were incomplete. She said she had not yet completed the current days form. Review of the Weights and Vitals Summary Report revealed from August 2023 to February 2024, resident #5 was not weighed after dialysis treatments 78 out of 92 times. The report did not include vital signs entries. In an interview on 2/29/2024 at 2:48 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) said nurses were expected to follow physician's orders for dialysis treatments, monitor for complications, and notify the doctor if there were concerns. She stated weights were expected to be done upon the resident's return to the facility from dialysis. She explained, she had been working at the facility for less than a week and said the previous DON was, working with dialysis for the check site bleeding. Review of the Dialysis Book revealed it contained instructions for nurses that read, 1) Verify that the middle portion of the original form has been completed by the nurse at the dialysis center.

Findings: 1. Resident #1, a [AGE] year-old female was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with her most recent readmission on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included multiple sclerosis, diabetes type 2, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, pseudobulbar effect, major depressive disorder, and generalized anxiety. Review of the resident's Pharmacist recommendations revealed the following: on 8/16/23 the resident had an order for Austedo IR 18 milligram (mg) daily. The recommendation was for the physician to consider changing the medication to twice daily. The rationale documented for the recommendation was, Per manufacturer, doses greater than or equal to 12 mg/day should be administered in two divided doses. The prescriber's response dated 9/01/23 indicated the prescriber agreed with the recommendation, and documentation read, Give Austedo 12 mg BID (twice daily) Austedo tablets are prescription medicines that are used to treat .movements in the face, tongue, or other body parts that cannot be controlled. (retrieved from austedo.com on 3/11/2024) Review of the resident's physician orders showed an order dated 9/08/23 for Austedo 6 mg, and directive was to give 12 mg BID. This order was entered in the resident's clinical record seven (7) days after the prescriber's response to the Pharmacist's recommendation. The Pharmacist's recommendation on 1/05/24 indicated the resident had order for Aripiprazole 7 mg daily since 1/2023, and a GDR/decreasing (Gradual Dose Reduction) to Aripiprazole 5 mg daily was recommended. The prescriber agreed with the recommendation on 2/03/24. Review of the resident's physician orders revealed an entry dated 2/09/24 for Aripiprazole 5 mg daily. The order was entered six (6) days after the prescriber's response, and approximately one month since the Pharmacist's recommendation was made. 2. Resident #28, a 75- year-old male was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included cerebral infarction, diabetes type 2, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, dementia, mood disturbance, chronic diastolic (congestive) heart failure, major depressive disorder, and hyperlipidemia. The Pharmacist recommendation dated 5/12/23 revealed the resident had physician's order for Novolin Regular sliding scale insulin, and the recommendation was to consider discontinuing the sliding scale insulin. The rationale documented was, sliding scale insulin typically results in increased resident discomfort due to blood glucose monitoring and directs that a basal- bolus strategy more closely mimics a normal physiologic response for more effective glucose control. The physician/prescriber disagreed with the recommendation on 8/03/23 and added the insulin Glargine 15 Units at bedtime.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm On 2/29/24 at 2:30 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) explained the process for the Pharmacist recommendations included, the Consultant pharmacist sends the report/recommendations to the DON via email. The DON then distributed the recommendations to the physicians, who would agree, or disagree with the recommendation, which would be signed and dated, and returned to the DON. She stated the expectation was that physicians would respond to the recommendations as soon as possible, and they would be acted upon before the next pharmacy review. The DON said, if the physician/prescriber agreed with the recommendations, the order should be entered into the facility's electronic system on the day the physician responded to the recommendations. Resident #1's pharmacy recommendations dated 8/16/23, and 1/05/24 were reviewed with the DON. She acknowledged that response to the recommendations was not timely. Resident #28's pharmacy recommendation dated 5/12/23 was reviewed with the DON. She acknowledged the physician's response was dated 8/03/23, and the order for the insulin Glargine was not entered into the resident's clinical records until 8/18/23. The DON acknowledged that response to the pharmacist's recommendation was not timely, and stated it was not acceptable, and should have been acted upon in a timely manner. Residents Affected - Few 3. Resident #45 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, dementia, type 2 diabetes, and depression. Findings: Review of the monthly Medication Regimen Review revealed that a pharmacy recommendation was made on 11/08/23 to taper or discontinue Prednisone if appropriate. The physician agreed with the recommendation and signed the recommendation to discontinue Prednisone on 11/15/23. The medication was not discontinued until one month later, on 12/15/23. A pharmacy recommendation dated 12/12/23 noted to add a diagnosis for Methotrexate. The recommendation was not signed by the practitioner until 2/01/24. A pharmacy recommendation was made on 12/12/23 for Humalog insulin sliding scale to have a 14 day stop date. The practitioner agreed and signed the recommendation on 2/01/24. On 2/29/24 at 2:30 PM, the DON stated she just started to work in this facility on 2/19/24. She stated her process would be, when she receives the monthly recommendations via email from the pharmacy, she would review the recommendations first and if the recommendation requires a medication change, she would call the physician with the recommendation and place the order in the computer. All other recommendations would be placed in the physician's book and she would request that the physician complete the recommendation and return it to her. The DON said, My expectation is to have the recommendation back as soon as possible and before the next monthly recommendation. She stated the order should be put in the facilities computer system the day that it is received. The DON reviewed the above recommendations for resident #45, and acknowledged none of the three orders were acted upon timely, which is unacceptable and they should have been completed the month they were received.

F 0867 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Set up an ongoing quality assessment and assurance group to review quality deficiencies and develop corrective plans of action. Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to fully implement and monitor Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) for identified resident care deficits. Residents Affected - Some Finding: In an interview on 2/29/24 at 2:48 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) said nurses were expected to monitor residents who received dialysis for complications and notify the doctor if there were concerns. She explained, she had been working at the facility for less than a week and said the previous DON was, working with dialysis for the check site bleeding. On 2/29/24 at 3:20 PM, the DON stated she had a PIP related to dialysis residents with fluid restrictions. She provided documents she referred to as a PIP with logs titled Dialysis Audit Tool with handwritten entries dated from 1/19/2024 to 2/19/2024 and a blank form titled, Dialysis Communication Tool. She explained that the former DON had developed a new form and implemented the project two months prior. On 2/27/24 at 3:50 PM, a review of the Dialysis Book kept at the nurse's station revealed it contained blank and completed forms titled, Dialysis Transfer Form updated December 2017. RN A checked the binder and explained the forms were used to monitor and track conditions of residents on dialysis. The book did not contain the new form identified by the DON as new and included in the current PIP. On 2/29/24 at 6:07 PM, the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) said the Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) review was delayed because he had difficulty locating PIP records. In a joint interview with the NHA and DON on 2/29/24 at 6:14 PM, the NHA explained the QAPI committee met monthly to review, discuss, and identify root causes and develop plans for improvement. He said the committee used track and trending reports from its members and resident council to identify performance deviations, audit tool development, and any needs for ongoing PIP revisions. The DON said the dialysis PIP did not include evidence that indicated nurse education was provided as outlined in the actions. She reviewed the PIP documents and acknowledged the audit forms were incomplete with several missing entries. She could not explain why the Dialysis Book had not contained the new forms indicated in the PIP and stated, it was not successful; the interim DON told me it wasn't working, and I have to continue. The NHA said in October 2023, the committee identified concerns related to a high number of resident falls after meals. The NHA recalled that there was a PIP and audit tool created and forms were presented at the last two QAPI meetings however, he was unable to locate the records. He explained, the DON planned to bring the concern to their next QAPI meeting and said, we will start over next month. The NHA explained, monitoring and tracking of PIPs in QAPI and Quality Assessment and Assurance (QAA) programs was essential to facilitate improvement with facility identified concerns for the residents and stated, you know we bring it forward to QAPI to establish a root cause and try to improve on whatever needs improvement.
