F000 INITIAL COMMENTS
F000 PROVIDER'S PLAN OF CORRECTION (EACH CORRECTIVE ACTION SHOULD BE CROSS-REFERENCED TO THE APPROPRIATE DEFICIENCY) (X5) COMPLETE DATE 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.

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 FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: 1VEW12 Facility ID: CA240000902 If continuation sheet 2 of 17 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.

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.

BUN 65 mg (milligrams)/(per) dL (deciliter, metric unit of capacity equal to one tenth of a liter of blood), reference range (RR, normal range): 7-25 mg/dL; b. Creatinine 1.99 mg/dL, RR: 0.70 -1.30 mg/dL; and c. BUN/Creatinine Ratio (test to determine 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, at 10:32 p.m. (15 hours after the laboratory results were received by the facility) was reviewed. There was no documented evidence Resident 1's physician received the laboratory report, or if any new treatment orders were given by the physician for Resident 1. The facility document titled, "...HMO & Medicare Charting...," dated September 29, 2018, at 2:07 a.m., was reviewed and indicated Resident 1 was alert, oriented, able to make himself understood and could understand others.

The committee failed to include and implement a plan for timely notification of the physician and follow up of abnormal laboratory test results. This failure resulted in the physician not being notified of abnormal laboratory results and follow up related to those lab results not being done timely for four of nine sampled residents (Residents 1, 4, 5, and 6).

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.
