What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 3 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure accuracy of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment in the area of documentation of the number and stage of pressure ulcers on a required admission assessment for 1 (Resident # 261) of 2 residents reviewed with pressure ulcers. In addition, the facility failed to have accurate MDS assessments for 2 (Resident #110 and #2) of 5 residents reviewed for discharge. Inaccurate encoding of the MDS can adversely affect the care provided to the resident. Residents Affected - Few The findings included: 1. Review of the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) dated October 2019 showed the steps for assessment include: Examine the resident and determine whether any ulcers, injuries, scars, or non-removable dressings/devices are present. Assess key areas for pressure ulcer/injury development (e.g., sacrum, coccyx, trochanters, ischial tuberosities, and heels). Also assess bony prominences (e.g., elbows and ankles) and skin that is under braces or subjected to pressure (e.g., ears from oxygen tubing) . Without a full body skin assessment, a pressure ulcer can be missed. Examine the resident in a well-lit room. Adequate lighting is important for detecting skin changes. For any pressure ulcers identified, measure and record the deepest anatomical stage. On 10/27/21, review of Resident #261's clinical record revealed a facility Admission/readmission Data Collection form which indicated the resident was admitted on [DATE] with pressure wounds to her bilateral buttocks and sacrum, (bone just below the lower vertebrae) and mushy discoloration to both heels. On 10/10/21, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff B completed Pressure Ulcer Wound Round forms for Resident #261. The wound forms indicated the resident had been admitted with the following pressure ulcers: a deep tissue injury (DTI) on the left heel; a DTI on the right heel; a stage II (partial thickness loss of dermis) pressure ulcer to the sacrum; a stage 1 (superficial reddening of the skin) pressure ulcer to the left elbow; and a stage 1 pressure ulcer to the right elbow. A Non-Pressure Skin Condition form completed by LPN Staff B on 10/10/21, indicated the resident had an arterial wound (ulcer caused by arterial insufficiency) on the left lower leg. LPN Staff B confirmed he was not able to assess or stage a wound as this needed to be done by a Registered Nurse (RN). He said the Director of Nursing was present for the wound assessments and told him the stage.

F 0641 (ARD) of 10/14/21, showed under Section M Skin Conditions that a total of 3 pressure ulcers were coded and 0 venous/arterial ulcer. Description as follows: Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Item 300A Number of Stage 1 pressure injuries was incorrectly coded as 1 (Yes). Residents Affected - Few M300 C1 Number of Stage 3 pressure ulcers was incorrectly coded as 1 (yes). M300 C2 Number of these Stage 3 pressure ulcers that were present upon admission/entry or reentry was incorrectly coded as 1 (Yes) G1. Number of unstageable pressure injuries presenting as deep tissue injury was incorrectly coded as 1 (Yes) G2. Number of these unstageable pressure injuries that were present upon admission/entry or reentry was incorrectly coded as 1 (Yes) Enter the total number of venous and arterial ulcers present was incorrectly coded as 0 (none). On 10/28/21 at 10:08 a.m., in an interview, MDS Staff D confirmed the ARD date as 10/14/21 and reviewed her coding under section M of the MDS assessment. MDS Staff D said she coded the MDS based on documentation in the medical record. She acknowledged there were 5 skin issues on admission and only coded 3 skin issues not 5 and did not code arterial ulcer as well. MDS Staff D confirmed Resident #261's admission assessment was not accurate. MDS Staff D said she may have used the wound assessment dated [DATE] (a day after the ARD) as documentation for the admission assessment. 2. Resident #2's clinical closed record revealed a discharge MDS dated [DATE]. The MDS was inaccurately coded to reflect the resident's payor source was Medicare when the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and discharged on 6/20/21 under a managed care payor. MDS staff transmitted a 5-day MDS to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for payment causing the discharge MDS to flag/trigger resulting in episode of care at facility remaining opened. In an interview on 10/27/21 at 11:25 a.m., MDS Staff D confirmed the MDS had been coded incorrectly for Resident #2's payor source and the submission of a 5 day MDS to CMS for payment had been an error as the resident's stay was being covered by Managed Care not Medicare. 3. A discharge MDS 3.0 assessment was completed for Resident #110 on 8/3/21. The MDS was coded to indicate the resident was discharged to an acute hospital. A review of Resident #110 clinical record indicated he was discharged home on 8/3/21 with medications and home health services. On 10/26/21 at 3:00 p.m., interview with Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the discharge MDS was incorrectly coded for Resident #110.

Accurate and complete records are necessary to document the course of a resident's care provided by the facility. The findings included: The facility's Clinical/Medical Records policy- MR195, revised on 8/25/17; stated Clinical records are maintained in accordance with professional practice standards to provide complete and accurate information on each resident for continuity of care. The purpose of the clinical record is to document the course of the resident's plan of care and to provide a medium of communication among health care professionals involved in this care. On 10/27/21, review of Resident #261's clinical record revealed a facility Admission/readmission Data Collection form which indicated the resident was admitted on [DATE] at 3:15 p.m. Under the section M. skin, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff C noted the resident had pressure wounds to bilateral buttocks and sacrum, (triangular bone just below the lower vertebrae) and mushy discoloration to both heels. On 10/10/21 at 12:19 p.m., 12:21 p.m., 12:24 p.m., 12:27 p.m., and 12:28 p.m., LPN Staff B completed Pressure Ulcer Wound Round forms for Resident #261. The wound forms indicated the resident had been admitted with the following pressure ulcers: a deep tissue injury (DTI) on the left heel measuring 3.0 centimeters (cm) by 3.0 cm in size; a DTI on the right heel measuring 3.0 cm by 4.0 cm in size; a stage II (partial thickness loss of dermis) pressure ulcer to the sacrum measuring 4.0 cm by 4.0 cm in size with a depth of 0.1 cm; a stage 1 (superficial reddening of the skin) pressure ulcer measuring 2.0 cm by 2.0 cm in size to the left elbow; and a stage 1 pressure ulcer to the right elbow measuring 3.0 cm by 2.0 cm in size. A Non-Pressure Skin Condition form was completed by LPN Staff B on 10/10/21 at 12:23 p.m., indicating the resident had an arterial wound (ulcer caused by arterial insufficiency) on the left lower leg measuring 2.3 cm by 0.8 cm in size. The wound assessments were dated as being completed 2 hours and 45 minutes before the resident arrived at the facility. On 10/15/21 the Advanced Practice wound care nurse noted Resident #261 had a stage III (full thickness skin loss) pressure injury on the left buttock measuring 0.7 cm by 1.0 cm in size with a depth of 0.2 cm.; a stage III pressure injury to the sacrococcygeal area measuring 0.5 cm by 0.5 cm with a depth of 0.1 cm.; a stage I to the right buttocks measuring 1.0 cm by 1.0 cm in size; and a DTPI (deep tissue pressure injury) measuring 5.0 cm by 6.0 cm in size on the right heel. There was no documentation by the clinician of the presence of an arterial ulcer on the resident's left lower leg or status of the left heel DTI and stage I pressure injury to both elbows.

LPN Staff B said he measured the sacrum as one large area instead of 3 separate areas. He identified the area on the resident's lower leg as an arterial ulcer because of the location. He confirmed there was no documentation by a physician in the resident's record of an arterial ulcer being present or any further documentation of pressure injuries to the left heel and elbows or when they were resolved. At 9:15 a.m., LPN Staff B confirmed he was not able to assess or stage a wound as this needed to be done by a Registered Nurse (RN). He said the Director of Nursing was present for the wound rounds and told him the stage. On 10/27/21 at 10:02 a.m., in an interview, the Director of Nursing said she made wound rounds with LPN Staff B on 10/11/21. She did not know where the documentation of the arterial ulcer came from as she did not identify this and would have to be done by a clinician. She confirmed the record was inaccurate as to when the assessments were completed and did not document she was the one doing the assessments as the RN.
