Review of the 11/08/24 minimum data set (MDS) assessment revealed the resident had a severe cognitive impairment. Review of Resident #4's progress notes, dated 12/13/24, revealed an incident in which Resident #4 was being transferred via a mechanical lift. During the process, her arm got caught in the machine and sustained a small skin tear. In the progress notes, there was no indication she fell, slipped or injured her legs during this incident. Review of Resident #4's progress notes, dated 12/14/24, revealed she was sent to the emergency room to have an examination completed on her left leg/pelvic area due to swelling and discoloration. Review of Resident #4's hospital documentation, dated 12/18/24, revealed while performing an examination and x-rays, she had a fracture of her right hip. The hospital documentation stated it was an unknown mechanism of injury, and the hospital was considering sending this case to social services for a referral of elder abuse; which was coupled with interview statements from Resident #4's family while in the hospital.

F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few investigation and determined the only place the injury could have happened was when she slid down the mechanical lift on 12/13/24. Interview with Medical Director #400 on 12/24/24 at 10:59 A.M. confirmed he spoke to the facility about the injury, but never confirmed the injury occurred while Resident #4 was on the mechanical lift. She did not have osteoporosis or osteopenia, there was no evidence there was an impact during the incident, and the information from the hospital and the x-ray results, found that there was calcification around the fractured area; which would indicate the injury happened a while ago. He could not say exactly when it happened, but he is really confident the injury did not occur on 12/13/24. Review of facility Abuse policy, dated July 2022, revealed the policy had no definition for injury of unknown origin. The policy stated, an injury of unknown origin is investigated to rule out the possibility of abuse. It also stated, the administrator, director of nursing, or designee shall notify the department of health, via the event reporting system electronically, or by phone in the event of the electronic system being unavailable.

None of the interview statements were signed/dated by the person providing the information via written statement. Certified Nursing Aide (CNA) #293's statement stated Resident #4 started sliding down the machine. He got behind her and assisted with lifting her back to a standing position. He called for the nurse and assisted Resident #4 back into her wheelchair. The summary statement confirmed there was an incident in which Resident #4 had a skin tear and bruising on her arm from being caught in the mechanical lift.
