This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one (Resident A) in a sample of three residents in a universe of 71 residents, was free from unnecessary Coumadin (warfarin an anticoagulant or blood thinner) doses, when the ordered laboratory test for monitoring therapeutic range (PTProthrombin Time/INR-International Normalized Ratio) was not carried out. This failure resulted in excessive warfarin level, extensive bleeding, and hemorrhagic shock (severe fluid loss which makes it impossible for the heart to pump sufficient amount of blood into the body) for Resident A. Findings: On April 5, 2018, at 10 a.m., an unannounced complaint investigation was conducted at the facility. Resident A's record was reviewed. Resident A,who was 87 years old, was discharged from the acute hospital and arrived at the facility on March 17, 2018 with diagnoses that included congestive heart failure (CHF), atrial fibrillation (abnormal heart rhythm), and chronic ischemic heart disease (or CAD [coronary artery disease] - narrowed arteries causing less blood FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: DPWB11 Facility ID: CA240000098 If continuation sheet 2 of 6 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.

On April 5, 2018, at 11:45 a.m., Resident A's record was reviewed with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON stated Resident A was transferred to the acute hospital on March 26, 2018 because around 1:45 p.m., Resident A was noted to have copious amount of red blood from the vaginal area. The DON stated Resident A belonged to a specific managed care group who had their own anticoagulation clinic that managed all of the Coumadin dosing and monitoring for all residents that were under the managed care group. The DON stated the managed care anticoagulation clinic gave the order to start Resident A's Coumadin 2 mgs daily on March 20, 2018. The DON stated the physician's order dated March 21, 2018, "Coumadin 2 mg (milligrams) po (by mouth) daily, next INR 3/23/18" was based from the "(name of managed care group) Anticoagulation Service Supplemental Order" dated, March 20, 2018.

The Coumadin dose was continued based on PT/INR result from March 20, 2018. Review of Resident A's printed laboratory results and the "LAB ORDER LOG FOR (name of managed care group) PATIENTS ONLY" with the DON indicated, the PT/INR ordered for Resident A to be drawn on March 23, 2018 was not carried out. The DON confirmed there was no documented evidence that the facility was aware and followed up on the missed PT/INR ordered for March 23, 2018. On April 5, 2018, at 1 p.m., the facility Case Manager (CM) was interviewed with the DON. The CM stated part of her responsibility was coordinating the care of residents that belonged to the managed care group. The CM stated she called the managed care anticoagulation clinic today. The CM stated she was told the PT/INR for Resident A was not carried out on March 23, 2018, because they (managed care group anticoagulation clinic laboratory) went to the wrong address for Resident A. Both the DON and the CM agreed the facility should have been monitoring Resident A's Coumadin dosing and PT/INR results. Resident A was subsequently admitted to the acute hospital on March 26, 2018.
