Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm
Based on record review, interview and policy review, the facility failed to ensure the posted staffing document included the total number and the actual hours worked for each discipline and failed to ensure the staffing document reflected any staff absences due to call-offs or illness. This had the potential to affect all residents residing in the facility.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings include: The facility's document titled Report of Nursing Staff Directly Responsible for Resident Care, for the time frame from 05/13/2024 through 06/13/2024, used by the facility to post the daily staffing, did not reflect the actual hours worked for each discipline nor did it reflect any staff absences or changes due to call-outs or illness. The Report of Nursing Staff Directly Responsible for Resident Care document did not include any RN hours for 05/31/2024 and 06/10/2024. A document titled, Daily Coverage Report, for 05/31/2024 and 06/10/20024 revealed there was RN coverage that was not reflected on the facility's Report of Nursing Staff Directly Responsible for Resident Care forms for 05/31/2024 and 06/10/2024. During an interview on 06/14/2024 at 12:55 PM, the Scheduler stated she had been told to include how many nurses, RNs, LPNs, and state tested nurse aides (STNAs) that were working on the form. She said no one told her she needed to include the total number of actual hours worked on the form. The Scheduler stated she only updated the form at the beginning of the day when she completed it and did not make any changes to the posted forms to reflect any call-ins. During an interview on 06/14/2024 at 3:30 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated she thought the staff postings in the lobby only had to include the number of RNs, LPNs, and STNAs for the day, but she did not know the actual hours worked also needed to be posted. The DON said she was unaware the numbers needed to be updated per shift; she thought it was just at the beginning of the day. The DON stated she expected the information to be posted accurately. During an interview on 06/14/2024 at 1:05 PM, the Administrator stated the forms should include the census, the number of staff from each discipline, the DON, and the Administrator on the top as well as the total census. The Administrator said the form should be updated with each shift if they had any call ins, however, she was unaware it needed to include the total number and actual hours worked per shift for each discipline. Review of the policy titled Staffing & Scheduling, last reviewed on 06/08/22, revealed, Facility will follow CMS [Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services] Staffing requirements, maintain staffing schedule, and posting of staffing. 1. Facility will comply with CMS and state staffing requirements

Resident #67's Order Summary Report, revealed an order dated 08/14/2023, for Rocklatan Ophthalmic Solution 0.02-0.005%, instill one drop in both eyes at bedtime related to cataract extraction status right eye.

During an interview on 06/11/24 at 8:30 AM, Resident #67 stated they did have eye drops that sometimes did not get reordered on time, so the eye drops were not available for the staff to administer to them. During an interview on 06/12/24 at 11:28 AM, Resident #67's family member stated the staff had not been administering the resident's eye drops because they did not reorder the medication. During a telephone interview on 06/13/24 at 8:26 PM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #5 stated she recalled Resident #67 and that sometimes the resident did not receive their medications because they were not found. During an interview on 06/13/24 at 8:32 PM, LPN #6 stated she reordered Resident #67's eye drop medication as it was not available for administration when she worked. LPN #6 stated she worked part time and could reorder the medication, but was not present in the facility when the medication was received.

the residents' medications but since then they were automatic unless the medication was a new prescription. She stated there had been times when they had to call the pharmacy numerous times. The pharmacy would tell them the medication was coming on the next run and then it did not come. The DON said the nurses should call the pharmacy to find out why the medication had not been refilled and let the physician know the medication had not been given. The DON stated she was unaware Resident #67 had gone days without their eye drops. During an interview on 06/14/24 at 3:51 PM, the Administrator stated she expected staff to reorder the medications timely so they were at the facility on time to administer to the residents. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00153981.
