Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
closed medical record review, hospital record review, policy and procedure review and interview, the facility
failed to develop and implement a comprehensive and individualized pressure ulcer prevention program to
prevent and timely identify bilateral heel pressure ulcers for Resident #165.
Residents Affected - Few
Actual harm occurred on 01/31/23 when Resident #165, who was cognitively impaired required
extensive/dependence on staff for bed mobility and activities of daily living (ADL) care, was found to have
an unstageable (full thickness tissue loss in which the base of the ulcer is covered by slough (yellow, tan,
gray, green or brown) and/or eschar (tan, brown or black) in the wound bed) pressure ulcer to the right heel
and a suspected deep tissue injury (SDTI) (a purple or maroon localized area of discolored intact skin or
blood-filled blister due to damage of underlying soft tissue due to pressure and/or shear) pressure ulcer to
the left heel. The ulcers deteriorated and on 05/23/23 the resident's daughter requested the resident be
sent to the emergency room related to the condition of the heel ulcers, the ulcers had moderate amounts of
copious drainage with a foul odor noted. The resident was subsequently admitted to the hospital and
diagnosed and treated for heel ulcer wound infection.
This affected one resident (#165) of three residents reviewed for pressure ulcers.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #165's closed medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], discharged to the hospital on [DATE], readmitted on [DATE] and discharged to the hospital on
[DATE]. Resident #165 had diagnoses including essential hypertension, muscle weakness and adult failure
to thrive.
A plan of care dated 12/20/22 revealed the resident had the potential for altercation in skin integrity due to a
diagnosis of failure to thrive (FTT), easily bruising, history of a skin tear due to fragile skin condition,
abnormal labs, decreased circulation/oxygenation, vitamin deficiency, mood/behavior status and being at
risk for malnutrition and incontinence. Interventions included to administer medications as ordered,
administer treatments as ordered, Braden score quarterly and as needed, diet per recommendations,
monitor for bruising, monitor labs, offload heels as tolerated, pressure redistribution cushion to chair. An
intervention dated 01/04/23 indicated to implement a low air loss mattress to the bed.
Review of Resident #165's admission assessment and baseline care plans form dated 12/30/22 revealed
Resident #165 was at high risk for skin breakdown and no skin concerns or pressure areas were identified
on the document.

Prior to the development of the pressure ulcers, there was no documented evidence of offloading for the
resident's bilateral heels or turning and repositioning.
Following the development of the bilateral heel pressure ulcers, the facility implemented the use of heel lift
suspension boots to be used at all times. The use of the heel boots was reflected on the administration
records.
Record review revealed the facility completed weekly wound measurements from 02/01/23 through
05/23/23.
Review of Resident #165's wound Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP) #601's Wound Note form dated
02/14/23 revealed a left heel SDTI and a right heel unstageable pressure ulcer.
The Weekly Wound Note, dated 03/28/23 at 11:27 A.M. revealed the resident had a left heel unstageable
pressure ulcer which measured 5.0 cm length by 5.5 cm width with no depth and a right heel unstageable
pressure ulcer which measured 2.6 cm length by 3.8 cm width with no depth which had 90%
slough/necrosis present and a scant amount of thin, straw-colored drainage.
Review of Resident #165's facility Weekly Ulcer/Wound Documentation form dated 05/23/23 revealed the
CNP was in to assess and treat. The left heel was noted to have an unstageable pressure ulcer which
measured 2.5 cm by 4.4 cm by 0.3 cm depth. Resident #165 also had a right heel unstageable pressure
ulcer which measured 2.2 cm by 2.8 cm by 0.4 cm. Both heels were debrided at that time.
Review of Resident #165's CNP #601's Weekly Wound Note dated 05/23/23 at 2:49 P.M. indicated the
resident had an unstageable pressure ulcer to the left heel which measured 2.5 cm by 4.4 cm by 0.3 cm
with a wound base of 50% granulation tissue and 50% slough/necrotic tissue with a scant amount of thin,
straw-colored drainage and a debridement (a procedure to remove debris or infected/dead tissue from a
wound) was completed. Resident #165 also had an unstageable right heel pressure ulcer which measured
2.0 cm by 2.8 cm by 0.4 cm with a wound base which was 100% slough/necrosis with a moderate amount
of thin, straw-colored drainage and a debridement was completed.
Review of Resident #165's progress note dated 05/23/23 at 10:08 P.M. indicated the resident's daughter
requested the resident to be sent to the emergency room due to the ulcers to her heels. Wound care was
provided, and moderate amounts of copious drainage was noted with a foul odor.
Review of Resident #165's progress note dated 05/24/23 at 7:19 A.M. indicated the resident was admitted
to the hospital for an infection.
Review of Resident #165's emergency room visit note dated 05/24/23 at 1:46 A.M. indicated during an
exam, Resident #165 was noted to have approximately grade three ulcerations of her bilateral heels, with
the left worse than the right. There was foul smelling, purulent discharge with antibiotics initiated. No
systemic symptoms or evidence of sepsis and radiographs showed no evidence of osteomyelitis or other
deep space infection.
Interview on 06/16/23 at 10:07 A.M. with CNP #601 indicated Resident #165's bilateral heels did have an
odor but she did not feel it was an infectious odor but rather the odor of necrotic tissue.

There was no evidence the resident's heel ulcers had ever been cultured while the wounds were being
treated in the facility.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Interview on 06/28/23 at 1:29 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed she believed Resident
#165's bilateral heels were offloaded and the resident was being turned and repositioned prior to the
development of the left heel SDTI heel pressure ulcer as well as the right heel unstageable pressure ulcer,
although staff were not required to document the offloading or turning and repositioning in the resident's
medical record. The DON confirmed Resident #165's hospital paperwork reflected the resident, upon
admission to the hospital had purulent, foul-smelling drainage to her bilateral heels and she was
hospitalized with a diagnosis of infection.
Interview on 06/29/23 at 9:54 A.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) Wound Nurse #817 revealed the treatment
in place that she documented in the progress note on 01/30/23 was barrier cream used to the resident's
buttocks associated with incontinence.
Interview on 06/29/23 at 11:46 A.M. with Resident #165's power of attorney (POA) for care revealed wound
care concerns. The POA revealed there were multiple times the family would visit the resident and her
heels would be directly on the bed and multiple times the dressings were not changed as ordered. He
stated Emergency Contact #2 had visited Resident #165 prior to her discharge from the facility (on
05/24/23), and the resident's bilateral feet had a foul odor. The POA indicated the facility neglect was the
reason why the resident did not return following her most recent hospitalization.
Interview on 06/29/23 at 12:31 P.M. with the DON confirmed the facility did not obtain a culture of Resident
#165's bilateral heel pressure wounds at any point following the development of the ulcers.
Review of the facility policy titled Pressure Ulcer Prevention Protocols/Risk Assessment, dated 06/08/22,
revealed a resident's level of risk for pressure ulcer development would initially be determined at the time of
admission or readmission taking into consideration the nature of risk to include underlying causes.
Residents were considered HIGH risk when admitted with any pressure ulcers, any history of pressure
ulcers, any pressure ulcer wounds which the resident has physician order(s) addressing treatment(s), or a
Braden Scale score less than or equal to 12. Pressure ulcer preventative/supportive precautions would be
implemented including to offloading the resident's heels.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Numbers OH00144100 and
OH00143241.
