What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 2 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0867 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Set up an ongoing quality assessment and assurance group to review quality deficiencies and develop corrective plans of action. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility's quality assurance and assessment (QAA) committee failed to implement an effective plan of action related to infection control and prevention as evidenced by the potential for cross-contamination when gloves were not changed and hand hygiene was not performed during a wound care procedure. Findings included: Review of the facility's plan of correction for the survey ending 01/15/2021 revealed the following measures would be taken to correct the deficient practice which was identified at F880: -All staff referred to in the statement of deficiency were re-educated on hand hygiene, with the nurse who had performed the wound care re-educated on proper wound care technique, including hand hygiene. -Competencies on proper hand hygiene and on wound care technique were completed with all licensed nurses. (The Clean Dressing Competency Skills Checklist was identified as the form used to ensure competency.) -The Director of Clinical Services or their Designee re-educated the licensed nurses on hand hygiene during a wound care procedure and performing the proper hand hygiene when removing dirty gloves and before putting on clean gloves. -The corrective action was to be monitored to ensure the deficient practice did not recur by the Director of Clinical Services or their Designee by conducting weekly observations of wound care to ensure proper hand hygiene was performed. The Clean Dressing Competency Skills Checklist was reviewed and noted to include the area of deficient practice observed during the wound care that was conducted with the Surveyor present on 04/08/2021. Competency Criteria # 17 - 22 defined the competent skill expected during wound care: Actions included: #17 Remove gloves, perform hand hygiene (soap and water or hand sanitizer) #18 Apply gloves. Assess wound for type, color, amount of drainage. Obtain wound culture if indicated. #19 Cleanse wound as ordered. If utilizing gauze to clean wound bed, moisten gauze with wound (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm #20 Cleanse peri-wound with separate moistened gauze and repeat as necessary. Residents Affected - Few #21 Remove gloves. Perform hand hygiene (soap and water or hand sanitizer). #22 [NAME] gloves and apply treatment as ordered. In an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and the Director of Nurses (DON) on 04/09/2021 beginning at 2:30 p.m., they confirmed all nurses were trained on the wound care policy and were observed for competency while performing wound care. All nurses passed the competency checks and observation continued randomly of the nurses during wound care to ensure there was compliance. The DON confirmed the observation for the competency check off and observations for the auditing for the plan of correction were conducted by the nurse Unit Managers and the Assistant Director of Nurses. The DON confirmed the Unit Manager that was present during the wound care on 04/08/2021 was the same nurse that checked the nurses' competencies and conducted the wound care audits for the plan of correction. A review of the attendance sheets for training on the wound care policy and review of the completed competencies for wound care revealed all facility nurses had been trained and completed the competency review. A review of the wound care audits revealed there was no non-compliance documented. During the survey conducted 04/07/2021 - 04/09/2021 the following concerns related to infection control and prevention during wound care were identified: Medical Record review was conducted for Resident #3 that indicated on admission Record form diagnoses which included pressure ulcer of sacral region, encounter for surgical after care following surgery on the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Review of Admission/readmission Data Collection form dated 4/2/2021 showed right buttock surgical incision proximal line 3.0 x 0.3 x 0.3, -5 staples intact then midline dehiscence open 5.0 x 2.5 x 1.5 75% red beefy granulation and 25 % slough distal incision 6.5 x 0.3 x 0.3 x - 8 staples. Review of the Pressure Ulcer Wound Rounds dated 4/2/2021 showed right gluteal fold pressure length 1.5 x width 0.9 x 0.7 depth stage 3. (inaccurate documentation, pressure ulcer is on left gluteal fold). On 4/8/2021 at 1:05 p.m. wound care observation was conducted with Staff Member E, RN and Staff Member H, Wound Care Nurse (WCN); the WCN stated that Resident #3 had a surgical cite and a pressure ulcer that were due for a dressing change. Supplies gathered included a bottle normal saline, collagen powder, small souffle cup that contained medi-honey, cotton tipped applicators, bulk gauze dressing, and 4 packages of adhesive bordered dressings. The supplies were placed on top of a barrier. Resident #3 was observed lying in bed when approached and appeared comfortable. She was receptive to the observation as she smiled when asked. The WCN went to the left side of the bed and assisted the resident to reposition. The WCN stood on the left side of the bed holding the resident in position. The bed sheet was removed and revealed five different dressings in place. The first dressing removed was the left gluteal fold/pressure area. It revealed an opening approximate size of a dime with the surrounding tissue pale white in color. The dressing to the left upper buttock was removed and revealed approximated staples in place.

F 0867 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm right buttock was observed with three separate dressings in place. The center of the right buttock revealed the surgical wound that presented a large oblong in shape and width, and the wound bed contained beefy bright red tissue with moderate amount of serosanguinous drainage. The two remaining dressings, one located above, and one located below the surgical cite were removed and presented with additional approximated staples. Residents Affected - Few The WCN directed Staff Member E to change her gloves and wash her hands. Staff Member E applied the normal saline to the surgical wound and with her left hand used a gauze dressing to wipe the wound; the gauze was dropped into the garbage can. The same process was used for the three stapled areas and the left gluteal fold. After the areas were cleaned, and without changing gloves and practicing hand hygiene, Staff Member E individually dried each wound area with a new gauze dressing. Staff E removed her gloves and used Alcohol Based Hand Sanitizer (ABHS) at the bedside and donned new gloves. The surgical wound was packed with the collagen and a secondary dressing applied. Staff Member E removed her gloves and performed hand hygiene. She donned clean gloves and prior to applying the medi-honey into the left gluteal fold the WCN stopped her and informed staff that her glove was ripped. Staff Member E removed the left glove from her hand and immediately donned a clean glove; no hand hygiene was performed. The medi-honey was applied to the pressure ulcer with her left hand, during which her bracelet that contained multiple dangling charms touched the top of the barrier. In an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) at 1:40 p.m. on 4/8/2021, she confirmed that after cleaning a wound, gloves should be changed, and hand hygiene would be practiced. At 1:50 p.m. on 4/8/2021 an interview was conducted with Staff Member E and the WCN. They confirmed after cleaning the surgical wound, pressure ulcer and staples, Staff Member E did not remove the soiled gloves, or practice hand hygiene, prior to drying the cleaned areas.

Resident # 328 was admitted to the facility with a diagnosis of left femur fracture. A review of the January 2021 physician's orders in the medical record revealed the following: Residents Affected - Few 1/9/21 L (left) heel cleanse area with NS (normal saline) pat dry apply skin prep every other day and as needed every night shift for DTI (deep tissue injury) pressure wound. R (right) heel cleanse with NS pat dry apply skin prep every other day and as needed every night shift for DTI pressure wound. On 1/14/21 at 1:55 p.m. an observation was conducted during the treatment to Resident #328's heels, with Staff E, LPN. Staff E, LPN removed a saline syringe, skin prep wipes, and gauze 2x2's form the treatment cart. Staff E, LPN entered Resident #328's room after putting on a pair of gloves and knocking on the door. Staff E, LPN placed the treatment supplies on Resident #328's bed near the resident's feet. The nurse applied the skin prep to the resident's heels and disposed of the gauze in the trash can and removed her gloves. Staff E, LPN picked up the remaining saline syringe and skin prep wipes (2) from Resident #328's bed and exited the room. Staff E, LPN did not perform hand hygiene. Staff E, LPN brought the supplies back down the hallway to the treatment cart that was sitting next to the nurses' station and placed them on top. She removed keys from her pocket and unlocked the treatment cart. The surveyor asked if the residents in that room were on any precautions. She said they were. Then Staff E, LPN threw the saline syringe and skin prep in the trash can nearby. Staff E, LPN failed to clean or disinfect the top of the care that the supplies were on and at that time performed hand hygiene. Based on facility policy and CDC guidelines the residents were on transmission based precautions for being on the new admissions unit. On 1/15/21 at 1:23 p.m. an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). When asked what has been done to mitigate COVID-19 in the facility the DON stated lots of education, audits, observations, mask techniques, donning/doffing, what COVID is. The DON also said that gloves are expected to be in the rooms. The DON said, That's what we use to provide care. We don't wear gloves in the hallways. So, they have to be in the rooms. The DON also stated that soiled linen and trash go in a bag before they come out of the room. She said these concerns (observations) were not her expectation. The DON agreed staff need to do hand hygiene after they take their gloves off and between patients always. The DON said, Yes, they have to have eye protection . they have to have them on. The treatment supplies stay in the room or go in the trash. A review of the policy title, Safe Handling and Processing of Soiled Linen, dated 11/30/2014, revealed the following information: Policy: To enforce the practice that all soiled linen/laundry is considered contaminated.

A review of CDC recommendations on 1/18/21, updated on 11/20/20, found at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/long-term-care.html, included the following information: Provide Supplies Necessary to Adhere to Recommended Infection Prevention and Control Practices. Make necessary PPE available in areas where resident care is provided. Further review of the CDC guidance at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/nursing-homes-responding.html reflected the following: Considerations for establishing a designated COVID-19 care unit for residents with confirmed COVID-19 Assign dedicated HCP to work only on the COVID-19 care unit. At a minimum this should include the primary nursing assistants (NAs) and nurses assigned to care for these residents. HCP working on the COVID-19 care unit should ideally have a restroom, break room, and work area that are separate from HCP working in other areas of the facility. Place signage at the entrance to the COVID-19 care unit that instructs HCP they must wear eye protection and an N95 or higher-level respirator (or facemask if a respirator is not available) at all times while on the unit. Gowns and gloves should be added when entering resident rooms. To the extent possible, restrict access of ancillary personnel (e.g., dietary) to the unit. Additional review of CDC guidelines, updated 11/20/20, at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/long-term-care.html reflected the following: Evaluate and Manage Residents with Symptoms of COVID-19.

Hand hygiene after removing PPE is particularly important to remove any pathogens that might have been transferred to bare hands during the removal process. -HCP should perform hand hygiene by using ABHS with 60-95% alcohol or washing hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If hands are visibly soiled, use soap and water before returning to ABHS. -Healthcare facilities should ensure that hand hygiene supplies are readily available to all personnel in every care location. Eye Protection -Put on eye protection (i.e., goggles or a face shield that covers the front and sides of the face) upon entry to the patient room or care area, if not already wearing as part of extended use strategies to optimize PPE supply. Protective eyewear (e.g., safety glasses, trauma glasses) with gaps between glasses and the face likely do not protect eyes from all splashes and sprays. -Ensure that eye protection is compatible with the respirator so there is not interference with proper positioning of the eye protection or with the fit or seal of the respirator. -Remove eye protection after leaving the patient room or care area, unless implementing extended use. Gloves -Put on clean, non-sterile gloves upon entry into the patient room or care area. Change gloves if they become torn or heavily contaminated. -Remove and discard gloves before leaving the patient room or care area, and immediately perform hand hygiene. Gowns -Put on a clean isolation gown upon entry into the patient room or area. Change the gown if it becomes soiled. Remove and discard the gown in a dedicated container for waste or linen before leaving the patient room or care area. Disposable gowns should be discarded after use. Reusable (i.e., washable or cloth) gowns should be laundered after each use. FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 106017 If continuation sheet Page 9 of 9
