F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. Based on record review, review of facility policy, observation and interview, the facility failed to timely address a change of condition for Resident #16. This affected one resident (Resident #16) of three residents reviewed for a change in condition. The facility census was 125. Findings include: Record review for Resident #16 revealed an admission date of 06/01/23 with diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis following a stroke affecting left non-dominant side, muscle weakness, and need for assistance with personal care. Record review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated 10/07/23, revealed Resident #16 was cognitively intact, dependent with toileting and personal hygiene and was always incontinent of bowel and bladder. Resident #16 had no ulcers, wounds, or other skin problems. Record review of the care plan dated 06/14/23 revealed Resident #16 had functional bowel and bladder incontinence.

Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on closed medical record review, facility policy review and interview, the facility failed to collaborate care between nursing and physician services to identify and assess risk factors affecting quality of care and wellbeing of Resident #129 and placing Resident #129 at risk for the development of a blood clot and rehospitalization within 30 days of admission. Residents Affected - Few Actual harm occurred on 09/01/23 when Resident #129, who had a history of embolism (blood clot), was at high risk for developing blood clots and was non-ambulatory, insisted on being sent to the hospital because the facility was not doing anything to address his complaints of severe pain in his left leg which was being treated at the facility as neuropathic pain. Resident #129 was ordered the anti-coagulant medication Heparin from admission through 08/23/23. The facility failed to adequately assess the continued need for Heparin or any other type of anti-coagulant medication after 08/23/23. After being transported to the hospital on [DATE], the resident was diagnosed with a large blood clot in his leg and required intravenous (IV) Heparin and an oral anticoagulant (the resident was not a candidate for surgical intervention, the preferred treatment).

Review of the physician's orders revealed an order, dated 08/05/23 for Heparin sodium (Porcine) 5000 units subcutaneously (SQ) three times a day for circulation. On 08/08/23 this order was revised to read Heparin sodium injection 5000 units SQ every eight hours for circulation for 14 days and discontinue 08/21/23. Review of the care plan, dated 08/07/23, revealed Resident #129 was at risk for abnormal bleeding or hemorrhage due to anticoagulant use related to embolism and thrombosis of the iliac artery.

Resident #129 had an indwelling catheter, an ostomy, was frequently incontinent of bowel, had fractures, other multiple traumas, DVT, and septicemia. The MDS assessment revealed Resident #129 received anticoagulant therapy seven out of seven days and was receiving occupational and physical therapy services. Further review of the physician's orders revealed an order dated 08/21/23 for Heparin sodium (Porcine) 5000 units SQ every eight hours for circulation until 08/31/2023. However, this order was discontinued on 08/23/23 per Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP) #600. Review of progress notes dated 08/14/23, 08/28/23 and 08/29/23 by the CNP revealed Resident #129 had suffered extensive injuries from a motorcycle accident, had bilateral nephrostomy tubes present, internal fixation of the anterior pelvis and percutaneous pinning of the posterior pelvis following pelvic fracture. The resident denied pain on 08/14/23 except when visitors were present the pain would elevate and would consist of sharp, shooting pain to his left lower leg.

He was currently on the phone with his ex-wife, both were making each other agitated and insisting on going to the emergency department (ED). According to the resident, no pain meds work for him, Tramadol or Oxycontin and he needed something stronger. Explained to resident and his ex-wife this was going to be a long process that involved trial and error, not something that was going to get resolved with a visit at 4:00 A.M. and that they need to speak with the appropriate team for their concerns. Both just want to go to ED, explained that ED was just going to send him right back after giving him one dose of pain meds, but they were both not listening and talking over staff.

PCP #604 explained Resident #129 had a blood clot that extended from the iliac femoral artery all the way down his leg, and this was confirmed in the hospital on [DATE]. PCP #604 revealed those types of clots were usually removed surgically but because of the resident's extensive fractures, that was not an option. PCP #604 explained Resident #129's treatment in the hospital consisted of a Heparin drip (intravenous) then an anticoagulant. PCP #604 revealed Heparin injections being given at the facility were used prophylactically to prevent further blood clots. PCP #604 explained if one dose a day was prescribed, then the person was at low risk for an embolism. If two doses were prescribed, the person was at moderate risk for developing a clot and if three doses a day were prescribed, they were at high risk. PCP #604 revealed Resident #129 was ordered three doses a day because he was at high risk for developing a blood clot.

PCP #604 indicated he could not recall if he was notified the Heparin was discontinued on 08/23/23 by the nurse practitioner and revealed the only reason why he personally would have discontinued the Heparin was if the resident was ambulatory. PCP #604 stated blood clots can be deadly. Interview was conducted via phone on 10/24/23 at 4:04 P.M. with the Regional Director of Clinical/Registered Nurse (RDC/RN) #900 who revealed Resident #129 was assessed by the CNP on 08/14/23 and was treated for neuropathic pain. Resident #129 was assessed again by the CNP on 08/28/23 and 08/29/23 and the RDC/RN did not believe there were signs of a new DVT. RDC/RN #900 said he had spoken with PCP #604 about the half-life of Heparin and PCP #604 informed him intermittent missed doses would not cause a DVT, but a DVT could occur if there were multiple missed doses for several days in a row. Interview via phone on 10/25/23 at 9:22 A.M. with CNP #600 revealed he had discontinued the Heparin dose for Resident #129 on 08/23/23, and thought it was possibly because he had started Resident #129 on an antibiotic on 08/23/23 and at times there could have been a drug interaction between the antibiotic and the Heparin. CNP #600 confirmed he did not document why he discontinued the Heparin for Resident #129 on 08/23/23. CNP #600 revealed Resident #129 was non-weight bearing but stated he did see Resident #129 transfer himself. CNP #600 explained he did not know the Heparin was supposed to continue (per the physician's order) until 08/31/23 because he did not look into the ins and outs of how many days the Heparin was ordered. When CNP #600 was asked about Resident #129 being diagnosed with a blood clot in the hospital on [DATE], CNP #600 did not respond to the question.

The DON verified Resident #129 did not receive his Heparin as ordered between 08/15/23 at 10:00 P.M. through the last dose on 08/23/23 at 6:00 A.M. The DON verified Resident #129 had a history of blood clots noted in the records. The DON explained the doses should not have been missed because the nurses had an option to reorder the Heparin on the electronic MAR and she was unsure why they did not and instead mark they did not have the medication. The DON confirmed some nurses pulled the Heparin for Resident #129 from the starter box when it was available and that was why some doses were missed and some doses were not missed. The DON confirmed the nurses did not notify any CNP or physician during that period when Resident #129 did not receive his Heparin as ordered and she would have expected the nurses to notify the physician when a medication was not available. Interview on 10/23/23 at 3:39 P.M. with CNP #600 revealed he worked at the facility four to five days a week and had discontinued the Heparin order on 08/23/23. CNP #600 stated he cared for Resident #129 and was never notified Resident #129 missed any doses of Heparin. CNP #600 revealed he would expect to be notified if medication was not available. Interview on 10/23/23 at 5:23 P.M. with Resident #129 verified he was at the facility for rehabilitation, had a history of blood clots in his legs and had not been able to get up and walk at the facility prior to being sent to the hospital on [DATE] at his own request.

Resident #129 explained after he left the hospital, he went to a different care facility to receive rehabilitation and was up walking around now. Resident #129 did not specify how long he had been hospitalized for the DVT. Interview via phone on 10/24/23 at 1:35 P.M. with PCP #604 confirmed he cared for Resident #129 while Resident #129 resided at the facility. PCP #604 revealed he also cared for Resident #129 after he was transferred to the hospital on [DATE]. PCP #604 revealed Heparin injections being given at the facility were used prophylactically to prevent further blood clots. PCP #604 explained if one dose a day was prescribed, then the person was at low risk for an embolism. If two doses were prescribed, the person was at moderate risk for developing a clot and if three doses a day were prescribed, they were at high risk. PCP #604 revealed Resident #129 was ordered three doses a day because he was at high risk for developing a blood clot. When asked about what could happen if Resident #129 had missed doses of the Heparin, PCP #604 revealed if Resident #129 received at least one dose a day of the Heparin, it would be less likely to form a blood clot than missing all three doses in one day. PCP #604 verified he was not notified of the missed Heparin doses for Resident #129 Interview via phone on 10/25/23 at 9:22 A.M. with CNP #600 revealed he recalled the DON telling him at morning meeting the Heparin was hard to get but stated he had not been informed of any missed Heparin doses for Resident #129.
