On 09/29/22 at 01:07 P.M. interview with Registered Dietician (RD) #153 revealed she identified weight loss for residents by going into the computer and going into reports to see variances. The dietician revealed she covered 16 facilities and there was not a certain time frame in which she goes in and checks each facility. She stated when she goes into the weights, she prints them out and checks them against the last weight. If there was a five pound weight difference or more she would circle them, and notify the Director of Nursing, Dietary Manager or the unit manager LPN #71 and ask for a re-weight for the resident. The dietician revealed she would check back to the weight variance sheets to see if the resident had been reweighed. Dietician #153 indicated the re-weight should be done right away when the facility identifies a five pound or more weight difference and was unsure why a facility wouldn't know of a five pound or more weight change. She indicated she was not emailed or notified when a re-weight confirmed a five pound or greater weight gain ot loss. To get the results she periodically checks to see if reweighs had been entered. RD #153 verified there was not a weight variance evaluation for Resident #29 until 21 days after the resident initially was assessed to have a significant weight loss. RD #153 verified additional nutritional interventions (the addition of a supplement) was not started for 24 days. The RD acknowledged there was not an order for weekly weights to keep a closer watch for additional weight loss or success of interventions for the resident. Review of the facility Height/Weight policy, revised 11/2019 revealed anytime there was a weight difference of plus or minus five pounds from the previous weight, a re-weight must be done. Reweighs would be completed as soon as possible, preferably within 24-72 hours. A weight variance committee shall meet monthly and as needed to address problems related to the weight status of the residents and to plan approaches for the individualized care. On 09/29/22 at 2:09 P.M. interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #148 and RD #153 verified there was a delay of 10 days in getting the resident reweighed. There was a delay of 11 days after the re-weight for the dietician weight variance evaluation. Once the dietician wrote a recommendation there was an additional three day delay in getting physician approval and starting an additional supplement. RN #148 and RD #153 verified the systemic process of the dietician periodically checking weights and notifying the facility when a re-weight was to be completed was not efficient and timely. The facility should compare the previous weight with the new weight and enter a re-weight per the company policy without being directed by the dietician. The process of the dietician needing to periodically check weights to learn if there was a significant weight loss or gain had also proven to delay intervention. RN #148 and RD #153 verified the resident did not begin to receive a supplement/intervention until 24 days after the significant weight loss weight was initially noted. The RN and RD verified 365766 Page 10 of 15 365766 09/30/2022 Parkside Health Care Center 930 East Park Avenue Columbiana, OH 44408
