The following reflects the findings of the
California Department of Public Health during a
revisit and partial-extended survey conducted
from October 2, 2018, through October 5,
2018.
Representing the California Department of
Public Health:
Surveyor 22921, HFEN;
Surveyor 37626, HFEN; and
Surveyor 38477, HFEN.
The facility census was 31 residents.
The sample size was nine residents.
Due to the facility's failure to ensure abnormal
laboratory results were reported to the
physician and acted upon timely for one
resident (Resident 1) which resulted in
Resident 1's hospitalization, and after a similar
deficiency which resulted in actual harm for two
residents during the survey conducted on
August 6, 2018, through August 8, 2018, for
which the revisit was conducted, the
Administrator and Director of Staff
Development were verbally notified of an
Immediate Jeopardy situation on October 3,
2018, at 4:42 p.m.
The Immediate Jeopardy was removed in the
presence of the Administrator at the facility on
October 5, 2018, at 4:18 p.m., after the facility's
plan of action to remove the immediacy was
reviewed and verified to have been
implemented.

§ 483.25 Quality of care
Quality of care is a fundamental principle that
applies to all treatment and care provided to
facility residents. Based on the comprehensive
assessment of a resident, the facility must
ensure that residents receive treatment and
care in accordance with professional standards
of practice, the comprehensive personcentered care plan, and the residents' choices.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to ensure five of nine sampled
residents (Residents 1, 4, 5, 6, and 8) received
treatment and care in accordance with
professional standards of practice when:
1. The facility failed to notify the physician of
abnormal laboratory results timely for
Residents 1, 4, 5, and 6.
a. For Resident 1, this failure resulted in a
delay in treatment and hospitalization due to
progressively increasing Blood Urea Nitrogen
(BUN, test for kidney and liver function) and
Creatinine (test for kidney function) levels.
Due to the facility's failure to ensure abnormal
laboratory results were reported to the
physician and acted upon timely for Resident 1,
who required hospitalization, the Administrator
and Director of Staff Development were
verbally notified of an Immediate Jeopardy
situation on October 3, 2018, at 4:42 p.m.
The Immediate Jeopardy was removed in the
presence of the Administrator at the facility on
October 5, 2018, at 4:18 p.m., after the facility's
plan of action to remove the immediacy was
reviewed and verified to have been

implemented;
b. For Resident 5, this failure resulted in the
physician to not be aware of the resident's
condition potentially causing a delay in
treatment, such as increasing Resident 5's fluid
intake; and
c. For Resident 6, this failure also resulted in
the physician to not be aware of the resident's
condition potentially causing a delay in
treatment, such as adjusting Resident 6's blood
thinning medication.
2. The facility failed to assess Resident 4 for
signs and symptoms of a urinary tract infection
when the facility received an abnormal
urinalysis laboratory result.
This failure resulted in the potential for
Resident 4 to experience unnecessary pain
and discomfort, and delay in treatment; and
3. The facility failed to call 911 (emergency
services) when Resident 8 had symptoms of
choking and experienced a change in
condition.
This failure resulted in Resident 8 to not
receive the necessary emergency treatment,
such as an assessment of respiratory
(breathing) status and treatment for a possible
airway obstruction, which may have prevented
Resident 8's death.
Findings:
1a. A record review for Resident 1 was
conducted on October 2, 2018. Resident 1
was admitted to the facility on September 17,
2018, with diagnoses including congestive
heart failure (weakness of the heart that leads
to a build up of fluid in the lungs and

The laboratory report received by the facility on
September 28, 2018, at 7:10 a.m., was
reviewed and indicated the results of Resident
1's blood specimen, taken on September 27,
2018, at 5:30 p.m., included the following:
a. BUN 65 mg (milligrams)/(per) dL (deciliter,
metric unit of capacity equal to one tenth of a

range): 7-25 mg/dL;
b. Creatinine 1.99 mg/dL, RR: 0.70 -1.30

kidney function) 32.7, RR: 10.0-20.0.
The fax (document transmission) confirmation
indicating the laboratory results were sent to
Resident 1's physician on September 28, 2018,

results were received by the facility) was

Resident 1 was alert, oriented, able to make

An interview was conducted with the Director of
Nursing (DON) on October 2, 2018, at 4:43
p.m. The DON reviewed Resident 1's record
and stated, "I expect that if the nurse doesn't
hear a response from the doctor after faxing
they should call the doctor." When asked about
the time frame when the nurse should follow up
with the physician after faxing, the DON stated,
"NOC (night) shift at some point should have
followed up." The DON verified there was no
documentation indicating the facility followed
up with the physician after faxing the abnormal
laboratory results for Resident 1.

Foundation in 2017, "Acute kidney injury... is a

damage that happens within a few hours or a

deficiencies continued to be present during the
facility's revisit survey (Cross reference F684).
Findings:
On October 2, 2018, at 3:18 p.m., an interview
was conducted with the Administrator (ADM)
and the Director of Nursing (DON) regarding
the facility's QAA process.
The ADM stated the facility had developed an
improvement plan to address the problem of
the labs not being done as ordered by the
physician, which was the problem identified
during the original survey. When asked if the
facility reviewed the complete laboratory
system (the process from receiving the lab test
order to notifying the physician of the results
and following up with the physician for
treatment orders) to identify quality issues
when they developed the plan, the DON stated
they looked at the process from the initial order
to reporting results to the physician.
On October 5, 2018, the facility's
"PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
(PIP) GUIDE," dated August 13, 2018, was
reviewed. The guide indicated the key area for
improvement was, "Staff to have re-education:
order entry, ability to identify high risk labs &
meds, improved documentation." The goal
indicated, "Lab orders completed as ordered by
M.D. (physician)." The plan did not identify any
concerns regarding the notification of and
following up for abnormal laboratory results to
the physician.
On October 5, 2018, at 9:58 a.m., an interview
was conducted with the ADM. The ADM stated
she felt the QAPI (Quality Assessment Process
Improvement) addressed the issue of labs not
being done as ordered by the physician.
