Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Ensure the resident's doctor reviews the resident's care, writes, signs and dates progress notes and orders,
at each required visit.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that a resident Physician or designee's
progress notes are maintained in the facility records. This applies to 1 of 3 residents (R1) reviewed for
Improper Nursing Care in the sample of 6.
The findings include:
R1's EMR (Electronic Medical Records) included diagnoses of chronic venous hypertension (idiopathic)
with ulcer and inflammation of bilateral lower extremity, peripheral vascular disease, morbid (severe) obesity
due to excess calories, cellulitis of left lower limb, non-pressure chronic ulcer of other part of right lower leg
with fat layer exposed, non-pressure chronic ulcer of other part of left lower leg with fat layer exposed,
non-pressure chronic ulcer of right heel and midfoot with fat layer exposed, non-pressure chronic ulcer of
left heel and midfoot with fat layer exposed. R1's Annual MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 3/14/2023
showed that R1 was cognitively intact.
On 5/26/23 at 9:40 AM, R1 stated that the residents are supposed to have visits from the PCP (Primary
Care Physician) and hasn't seen one for over a year. R1 stated that he is seen by the Infectious Disease
NP (Nurse Practitioner) one-two times a month or more often if he is fighting an infection. R1 stated that his
Palliative Care NP sees him weekly routinely. R1 remarked that his PCP V8 and her team communicate
with the nurse, and we are taken out of the loop and are in the dark.
On 5/26/23 at 10:29 AM, V7 (Registered Nurse) stated that R1's PCP V8's practice has V9 NP and V10
(Physician Assistant) who come to see her patients. V7 added that V9 comes every Friday and sees
patients that are on the list.
On 05/26/23 at 2:58 PM, V6 ADON (Assistant Director of Nursing) stated that the facility follows the policy
for residents to be seen routinely by PCP and NP or PA. V6 added that the NP's that are with Infectious
Disease or Palliative Care are not under V8's Practice.
Review of R1's EMR (on 05/26/23) for past six months did not show V8's or her support team's progress
notes. Per request from facility V9's late entry (dated 05/26/23) progress notes and plan of care were
obtained from V9 showing visits with R1 dated 12/05/22 and 05/05/22.
On 5/27/23 at 10:17 AM, V3 (Assistant Administrator) stated that she has reached out to V8's office to
obtain records of her visits.
On 05/27/23 at 1:41 PM, V8's late entry (dated 5/27/23) progress notes and plan of care were obtained
from V8 showing visits with R1 dated 1/5/23, 3/02/23 and 4/27/23.
