Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect by anybody. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on closed medical record review, hospital record review, toxicology report review, review of the facility admission policy, review of the facility assessment and interviews, the facility failed to ensure Resident #82 received adequate, timely and appropriate treatment and continuity of care following admission to the facility resulting in a situation of neglect. This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy and serious life-threatening harm/subsequent death beginning on [DATE] at 8:30 P.M. when Resident #82, who had been hospitalized prior to admission, arrived at the facility for placement and staff failed to obtain physician orders for medications/treatments or contact the physician/medical director regarding the resident's admission. From [DATE] through [DATE] the resident was not ordered and did not receive medications including blood pressure medication, blood thinning medication, or insulin. In addition, Resident #82 presented to the facility with a history of illegal drug use; however, the facility failed to adequately identify this history or implement comprehensive and individualized interventions to maintain the resident's safety (as it pertained to his history of drug abuse). On [DATE] at 1:39 A.M., Resident #82 activated his call light for complaints of shortness of breath. The resident's condition continued to deteriorate, and emergency medical services was called via nine-one-one (911). On [DATE] at 1:54 A.M., CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) was initiated. Resident #82 was subsequently pronounced deceased by emergency medical service (EMS) staff on [DATE] at 2:19 A.M. After being pronounced deceased , the facility failed to provide timely and appropriate post-mortem care by allowing the resident's body to remain in the facility from 2:19 A.M. until 1:56 P.M. when his body was eventually transported to the morgue, as facility staff did not know how to proceed with the resident's deceased body. This affected one (#82) resident of three residents reviewed for death. The facility census was 81. On [DATE] at 2:48 P.M., the Administrator, Regional Registered Nurse (RRN) #481 and the Director of Nursing (DON) were notified Immediate Jeopardy began on [DATE] at 8:30 P.M. when facility staff admitted Resident #82 to the facility, after he had left AMA from the hospital, and neglected to notify the physician of the resident's admission to the facility and lack of admission orders to provide continuity of care to the resident with known comorbidities. Despite a known history of drug abuse, the facility did not have appropriate supervision in place to provide a safe environment. The resident experienced a rapid condition change on [DATE], which required CPR; however, the resident expired at the facility. Following the resident's death, his body remained at the facility 11 hours and 37 minutes before being transported to the morgue for further assessment and determination of his final resting place. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on [DATE] when the facility implemented the following corrective actions:

One-on-one education was provided to RN #15 and RN #35 as they were responsible for Resident #82's care during admission. On [DATE], the initial Self-Reported Incident (SRI) was submitted by the Administrator based on the allegation of neglect. The admitting nurse for Resident #82, RN #35, was suspended on [DATE] at 7:30 P.M. pending the outcome of the investigation. On [DATE], a whole house audit of 23 residents admitted within the last 30 days was conducted by the DON, RRN #481 and the Administrator to ensure physician orders were consistent with hospital discharge orders and physicians were notified of admission. The 23 residents reviewed were Resident #6, #12, #24, #25, #28, #29, #33, #43, #66, #82, #86, #87, #88, #89, #90, #91, #92, #93, #94, #95, #96, #97 and #98 and no discrepancies were identified. Weekly, all new admissions and re-admissions will be audited by the DON or designee for four weeks to ensure physician notification and physician orders are included. On [DATE], in person and/or by phone education was provided by the DON and/or SDC #81 to all 32 licensed nurses to communicate with facility leadership regarding changes that may occur to a resident's admission to the facility or with the hospital discharge plan, to seek further instruction and guidance; that residents with a history of drug abuse have a care plan with appropriate interventions in place; administration of an opioid reversal agent in suspected opioid overdose; the policy for postmortem care and pronouncement of death to include timely notification for release of a deceased resident and notification of the police and/or coroner as necessary. On [DATE], a whole house audit for residents with a drug abuse history diagnosis was completed by RRN #418/designee to ensure interventions were in place and care plans reflected updated interventions as needed. Staff can access the care plan and Kardex (information regarding the resident's care) through the electronic medical record. Three residents were identified (Residents #38, #44 and #74) and had appropriate care plans. Weekly audits of care plans will be completed by the DON/designee for four weeks to ensure care plans for all residents with a history of drug abuse are appropriate. On [DATE], audits of residents who have expired in the facility from [DATE] through [DATE] were reviewed by the DON/designee to ensure they were provided with timely and appropriate postmortem care with notifications of the coroner and police as appropriate. Weekly audits for four weeks will be completed by the DON or designee to ensure compliance. On [DATE] at 8:15 P.M., an Ad Hoc (not scheduled) Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement Plan meeting was held with the DON, Administrator and RRN #481 in person and Certified Nurse Practitioner #493 by phone to discuss the removal plan and root cause analysis (RCA). The RCA was identified as the admission process was not followed per protocol. On [DATE] at 9:21 P.M., the Medical Director was notified of and approved the QAPI plan.

All audits will be conducted weekly for four weeks and results will be discussed at the monthly QAPI meeting. Although the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on [DATE], the facility remains out of compliance at a Severity Level 2 (no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy) as the facility is in the process of implementing their corrective action plan and monitoring to ensure on-going compliance.
Findings include: Review of Resident #82's hospital documentation (state agency requested as part of the onsite investigation) revealed the resident was admitted to the hospital on [DATE] after he had arrived at the emergency room via ambulance transport due to shortness of breath. Further review of the medical record revealed a history and physical dated [DATE] that revealed the resident experienced acute hypoxic (decreased oxygen levels) and hypercapnia (the body can't remove excess carbon dioxide from the blood so there is a buildup and the body can't maintain proper ventilation) respiratory failure, crack lung (an acute lung injury related to smoking crack cocaine and can cause lung injury, cough, difficulty breathing and even death) versus aspiration pneumonia (a substance from the stomach or mouth enters the lung and causes pneumonia) versus pulmonary edema (a condition caused by too much fluid in the lungs) exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, elevated troponin (a cardiac enzyme that becomes elevated when there is damage to heart muscle), suspect myocardial infarction (heart attack), acute metabolic encephalopathy (a condition where the brain's function is impaired due to an underlying metabolic condition), hyperglycemia (blood glucose was 342 milligrams per deciliter of blood ((mg/dL)) on admission. A healthy adult blood glucose level ranges between 70-100 mg/dL), polysubstance abuse (positive for cocaine and fentanyl on admission), lung nodule in the left lower lobe (of the lung), and right renal cystic lesion. The patient required hospitalization due to acute respiratory failure in the setting of recent crack cocaine use requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation. Further review of the requested hospital record revealed a cardiology progress note dated [DATE] indicating the resident developed paroxysmal atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response, multifocal atrial tachycardia and supraventricular tachycardia (all heart rhythms where the heart doesn't have a normal signaling process telling the heart when to beat and the signaling is disorganized and parts of your heart beat out of sync and may cause blood clots or compromised blood flow throughout the body). The resident also had newly diagnosed cardiomyopathy (disease that affects the heart muscle and may cause the heart muscle to become weakened, thickened, or rigid, making it difficult for the heart to pump blood effectively) with the heart ejecting only 30-35% of blood from the left ventricle. The resident was given Lasix intravenously and amiodarone (antiarrhythmic) intravenously (to treat heart failure and abnormal heart rate). Further review of the requested hospital records revealed Resident #82 was prescribed no medications prior to admission to the hospital. During Resident #82's stay at the hospital, he was prescribed medications including amiodarone 200 mg (milligrams) daily, Eliquis (blood thinner) 5 mg twice a day, Lipitor (cholesterol medication) 40 mg nightly, Plavix (antiplatelet medication that prevents platelets from clumping together into blood clots) 75 mg daily, folic acid (form of Vitamin B) 1 mg daily, Lasix (diuretic) 20 mg twice daily, insulin lispro (fast acting insulin) injection 1 to 6 units subcutaneous three times a day before meals, Lopressor (a beta-blocker that treats angina, high blood pressure and heart failure) 12.5 mg twice a day, NicoDerm CQ 21 mg/24 hours transdermal daily, MiraLAX (laxative) 17 grams twice daily, Seroquel (antipsychotic) 25 mg twice daily, and Xopenex

with Resident #82, and he was put on a non-rebreather mask (provides more oxygen than a nasal cannula), at 1:47 A.M. the nurse recalled 911 because the resident's condition was declining. At 1:48 A.M., his vitals were BP 112/65, pulse 90, respiration 20, temperature 97.9 and oxygen saturation 90 %. At 1:50 A.M., 911 arrived BP 100/62, pulse 50, respiration 12, temperature 97.7 and oxygen saturation was 86%. Further review of the progress notes, dated [DATE], revealed at 1:54 A.M., 911 started chest compressions on patient. At 2:19 A.M., Resident #82 was pronounced deceased . The DON, Med One (the on-call medical provider service) and the patient's family/friend were notified about the incident. A crack pipe, (with) residue and a lighter were found in the patient's shoe. Further review of the progress notes dated [DATE] at 1:56 P.M. and authored by RN #71 revealed Resident #82's body transported from the facility at 1:36 P.M. by the coroner's office. Review of the Coroner's Report: Finding of Facts and Verdict, dated [DATE], revealed the immediate cause of death was cardiomyopathy as a consequence of recent and chronic cocaine use, the manner of death was accidental. Toxicology testing showed benzoylecgonine (cocaine metabolite that can be detected for several days after use of cocaine), nicotine and cotinine (nicotine metabolite). Drug paraphernalia at the scene was positive for cocaine. On [DATE] at 12:03 P.M., an interview with RRN #481 revealed Resident #82 had left the hospital AMA and just showed up here at the facility without any paperwork (A friend dropped him off) but the facility had scheduled to admit him. The facility had called the hospital and asked for discharge paperwork, but the hospital refused to give the facility any instructions due to him leaving AMA. Further interview revealed the facility received the hospital discharge summary on [DATE] and the directive given were to use his home medications (written on the AMA discharge summary). The nurses did not follow through with obtaining the orders, but they were disciplined (RN #15 and #35) and we put a plan in place, so it wouldn't happen again. On [DATE] at 2:35 P.M., an interview with Coroner #486 revealed an autopsy was not completed but an external examination, toxicology and the preliminary drug screen was positive. The coroner's office was treating the case as a drug overdose. He was pronounced dead at 2:19 A.M. and laid there (in the facility) almost 12 hours before they called me, and they collected all the evidence and moved it (referencing the crack pipe). The police were not called so Coroner #486 directed the facility to call the police. On [DATE] at 2:32 P.M., a follow-up interview with Coroner #486 revealed when she arrived at the facility for the assessment of Resident #82, rigor had set in, and his body was very stiff. She confirmed the resident's body was moved to the morgue from the facility. On [DATE] at 9:44 A.M., an interview with the DON revealed the reason Resident #82's body remained at the facility so long was because of a lack of knowledge from staff and they should have called the police. She stated the staff were waiting for the funeral home to open, as they shared with her, they had contacted the funeral home, but the message provided indicated the funeral home didn't open until 10:00 A.M. The DON verified she contacted the police and the coroner. The police had come but the coroner's office took all the drug paraphernalia, so there was nothing for them to take. The nurse on duty the night of the resident's admission said she called the hospital and was told he had left AMA, and the hospital wouldn't give the facility discharge instructions and none of the nurses followed up. The DON verified the staff should not have accepted the resident due to him leaving the hospital AMA.

team) regarding admission. Further interview revealed when a resident who is admitted to a facility with a known history of drug abuse, generally they are already through the withdrawal window so usually all they (the facility) do is supportive care because this is their home. She also shared the facility was not a drug rehabilitation facility, so the facility didn't provide any type of supervision (related to drug use prevention). On [DATE] at 9:43 A.M. an interview with Records Manager #500 at the Columbus Police Department (CPD) revealed the facility called the CPD at 12:42 P.M. regarding drug paraphernalia. The CPD did not arrive at the facility until 3:40 P.M. and the call was cleared at 3:42 P.M. The records manager verified there was no report to review. Review of the Facility Assessment, revised [DATE], revealed the facility was able to provide care for residents with drug use or abuse (alcohol dependence/substance dependence).

Each resident must remain under the care of a physician. A physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, or clinical nurse specialist must provide orders for the resident's immediate care and needs. Review of the facility Abuse: Identification of Types policy and procedure, issued [DATE] and revised [DATE], revealed it is the policy of this facility to identify abuse, neglect, and exploitation of residents and misappropriation of resident property.

Neglect is defined as the failure of the facility, its employees or service providers to provide goods and services to a resident that are necessary to avoid physical harm, pain, mental anguish or emotional distress. Neglect includes cases where the facility's indifference or disregard for resident care, comfort or safety, resulted in or could have resulted in, physical harm, pain, mental anguish, or emotional distress. Neglect may be the result of a pattern of failures or may be the result of one or more failures involving one resident and one staff person. a. Neglect of goods or services may occur when staff are aware, or should be aware, of residents' care needs, based on assessment and care planning, but are unable to meet the identified needs due to other circumstances, such as lack of training to perform an intervention (e.g., suctioning, transfers, use of equipment), lack of sufficient staffing to be able to provide the services, lack of supplies, or staff lack of knowledge of the needs of the resident. This deficiency demonstrates non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00163381.
