F 0676 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete discharged from PT on 05/11/23 with recommendations for stand transfer with front wheeled walker.

The DON states staff are educated on PT recommendations by a communication binder stating we also complete education with staff. The DON also updates the Kardex system which allows staff (CNAs and Nurses) to read updated interventions similar to what was placed in the care plan. The DON continues Kardex would not state to use a gait when transferring residents because a gait belt should be used on all Residents, there is a gait belt in every room.Review of the facility's Falls- clinical protocol revised 09/2012 verified the staff will document risk factors for falling in the resident's record and discuss the resident's fall risk. For an individual who has fallen, the staff and physician will continue to collect and evaluate information until either the cause of the falling is identified. Based on the preceding assessment, the staff and physician will identify pertinent interventions to try to prevent subsequent falls and to address risks of serious consequences of falling. If underlying causes cannot be identified or corrected, staff will try various relevant interventions, based on assessment of the nature or category of falling, until falling reduces or stops or until a reason identified for its continuation. The staff and physician will monitor and document the individual's response to interventions intended to reduce falling or the consequences of falling.This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number 2656988.
