Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, record review, staff and resident interview, the facility failed to demonstrate effective coordination to ensure 1 resident (Resident #84) of 6 residents reviewed with wounds, received the appropriate preventive care and treatment. This failure can cause delayed wound healing and potential infection. Residents Affected - Few The findings included: The facility Skin Assessment Guidelines purpose documented, To describe the process steps required for identification of patients at risk for the development of skin alterations, identify prevention techniques and interventions to assist with the management of pressure injuries and skin alterations. The individualized comprehensive care plan addresses the skin management program, the goal for prevention and treatment, individualized interventions to address the patient's specific risk factors and the plan for reduction of risk. Review of Resident #84's clinical record revealed an admission date of 7/30/22 with diagnosis including adult failure to thrive, osteoarthritis and anxiety. The Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) (standardized assessment tool that measures health status in nursing home residents) with an assessment reference date of 11/6/22 documented Resident #84 required extensive physical assistance of one for bed mobility and personal hygiene. The assessment noted Resident #84 did not have any wounds. The MDS noted Resident #84's cognitive skills for daily decision making were severely impaired. The care plan identified Resident #84 was at risk for alteration in skin integrity related impaired mobility and incontinence. The goal was to decrease/minimize skin breakdown risks. The interventions included, encourage to reposition as needed and observe skin condition with activity of daily living care daily and report abnormalities. On 2/6/23 at 10:47 a.m., Resident #84 was observed in her wheelchair (w/c) at the dining table with an uncovered wound on the left outer ankle. The surrounding skin was visibly red and swollen.
