**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, interview and policy review, the facility failed to routinely assess and monitor one resident,
Resident #17, at risk for elopement. This affected one of two residents identified by the facility as having an
alarming bracelet due to elopement risk. The facility census was 71 residents.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #17's medical record revealed an admission date of 05/27/17 and diagnoses including
dementia, chronic kidney disease, peripheral vascular disease, Alzheimer's disease, hypertension,
wandering in diseases classified elsewhere and vitamin D deficiency.
Review of a quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #17 had a
memory problem, had continuous inattention and wandered daily in the look back period.
Review of elopement risk assessments for Resident #17 revealed entries on 05/27/17 and 07/21/17.
Review of the assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #17 was physically capable of leaving the
facility; was confused to time and place; wanders, roams and paces; a listed intervention in place included a
Roam Alert watchlet (keeps wander-prone residents safe by triggering an alert when a protected resident
approaches a monitored exit). No further assessments were available for review.
Review of physician's orders revealed an order dated 01/15/19 to check the Roam Alert placement every
shift.
Review of a care plan dated 07/20/17 revealed Resident #17 was an elopement risk due to wandering
behavior. A goal indicated Resident #17 would not elope from the facility over the next 90 days.
Interventions included: keep a watchful eye on resident's whereabouts (07/20/17), notify physician of any
attempts from resident to leave facility (07/20/17) and Roam Alert to wrist, check placement daily
(10/12/17).
Review of nurses' note written by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #406 and dated 08/25/19 at 1:00 P.M.
revealed another resident's family made staff aware Resident #17 exited the building into the parking lot.
LPN #406 and another nurse ran down the hallway and brought Resident #17 back in to the facility. The
note stated the alarm light was flashing but there was no sound.
Further review of Resident #17's medical record revealed the order for checking roam alert placement was
completed as ordered from August 2019 through December 2019, however, no orders or indication the
device was checked for functioning at any point was noted in the record.

An interview was conducted on 12/11/19 at 2:25 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON stated
Resident #17 had made it out to the porch of the facility on 08/25/19. The DON indicated Resident #17's
Roam Alert had needed to be replaced, and Resident #17 was moved to the second floor of the facility as a
result of the incident. The DON stated the MDS staff were responsible for completing elopement
assessments.
Residents Affected - Few
An interview was conducted on 12/11/19 at 3:25 P.M. with the Director of Maintenance (DOM) #401. DOM
#401 stated eight doors were checked with a Roam Alert pendant each month to ensure the system would
chirp then alarm. DOM #401 explained the system was passive, and the individual Roam Alert watchlet's
did not have a battery.
An interview was conducted on 12/11/19 at 3:46 P.M. with LPN #402. LPN #402 explained nursing staff
were to sign off in the treatment administration record (TAR) the Roam Alert was physically on a resident
daily, and the individual Roam Alert device was checked for functioning weekly.
Interviews were conducted on 12/11/19 at 4:07 P.M. with MDS Nurse #403 and MDS Nurse #404. Both
nurses shared elopement risk assessments were completed upon admission and various staff completed
these assessments thereafter.
A follow-up interview with the DON on 12/11/19 at 4:31 P.M. verified no further assessment of Resident
#17's elopement risk was available for surveyor review. The DON verified nursing staff were to check a
resident's individual Roam Alert device weekly to ensure proper function and sign off in the TAR. The DON
confirmed Resident #17 did not have an order in her medical record for staff to check her Roam Alert
device weekly to ensure proper function and shared no further information regarding Resident #17 being
found in the parking lot was available for review.
An interview was conducted on 12/12/19 at 10:31 A.M. with LPN #406. LPN #406 verified her nurses' note
from 08/25/19 and shared Resident #17 had been on the steps outside the front door of the facility that led
to the parking lot. LPN #406 recalled the light had been blinking on the Roam Alert keypad, but it did not
emit any sound. LPN #406 thought night shift was to check the Roam Alerts for functioning. She stated she
was told to write a nurses' note and had not completed any further documentation regarding this incident.
Review of the facility policy, Roam Alert Resident Bracelet revised 08/16/17 revealed a Roam Alert bracelet
would be initiated when a resident experienced a decrease in the ability to guard self from accident or injury
due to elopement. A resident would be evaluated upon admission and quarterly thereafter. Elopement was
defined as when a patient or resident who was cognitively impaired left the facility unnoticed and/or prior to
their scheduled discharge. A listed procedure included monthly testing of Roam Alert bracelets/system
completed monthly by maintenance and once initiated, the Roam Alert function was to be checked weekly.
Review of maintenance records revealed once a month, maintenance staff checked the operation of door
monitors of the patient wandering system.
Review of facility policy and procedure on elopement, revised 06/01/16 defined elopement as unauthorized
leave from the facility premises without prior communication by the resident or responsible party to facility
staff. Charge nurse was to document pertinent medical information in the clinical records; if found
off-premises and/or any injuries sustained, an incident report would be completed. Post-elopement, the
elopement risk assessment form would be reviewed and updated; the plan of care

would be reviewed and updated; the watchlet policy would be reviewed and initiated; the resident could be
moved to the second floor of the facility if not already residing there; a post-elopement investigation and
documentation was to be completed by Administrator/designee.
Review of the Roam Alert instruction manual dated October 1999 revealed the function of the Roam Alert
system was to monitor areas within a building for the presence of Roam Alert transponders. A transponder
was sensed when it entered a radio frequency (RF) exciter field that was set up using the Roam Alert
controller. Roam Alert was designed to assist nursing staff in providing a higher degree of safety for
wandering patients but was not intended as the sole means of protection in preventing a wandering patient
leaving the premises.
Review of the Roam Alert controller instruction manual dated August 2012 revealed the manufacturer's
systems were designed to assist staff in providing a high degree of safety for people and assets and
therefore should be used as a component on a comprehensive security programs of policies, procedures
and processes. As with any security system one must perform regular system operational checks to verify
functional integrity.

Resident #70's pharmacy medication review dated 08/18/19 was not addressed until 10/18/19. She verified
Resident #70's as needed Haloperidol was an anti-psychotic medication and should have been limited to a
14- day duration and rationale should have been documented justifying the use of the as needed

medications other than anti-psychotic medications that were limited to 14 days. The policy revealed all as
needed anti-psychotic drugs were limited to 14 days and cannot be renewed unless the attending physician
evaluated the resident for the appropriateness of that medication. The physician was to respond
appropriately by changing or stopping problematic doses of medications or clearly document why the
benefits of the medication outweigh the risks. The facility consultant pharmacist would assist by identifying
gradual dose reductions and prompting prescriber's for periodic re-evaluation of medication and to prompt
the facility to update their documentation.

should have been limited to a 14-day duration and rationale should have been documented justifying the
use of the as needed Haloperidol. She also verified Resident #70 was recently ordered Haloperidol one
milligram by mouth every six hours as needed for agitation on 12/06/19 and there was not a stop/ duration
of 14 days added to the order.
Review of facility policy labeled, Use of Psychoactive Medications dated August 2019 revealed
psychotropic medication therapy was to be only used when it was necessary to treat a specific condition.
The facility policy did not address psychotropic medications limited to 14 days or indicated duration for the
medications other than anti-psychotic medications that were limited to 14 days. The policy revealed all as
needed anti-psychotic drugs were limited to 14 days and cannot be renewed unless the attending physician
evaluated the resident for the appropriateness of that medication. The physician was to respond
appropriately by changing or stopping problematic doses of medications or clearly document why the
benefits of the medication outweigh the risks. The facility consultant pharmacist would assist by identifying
gradual dose reductions and prompting prescribers for periodic re-evaluation of medication and to prompt
the facility to update their documentation.

Based on interview, observation, record review and policy review, the facility failed to ensure insulin's were
dated when opened for Resident #24 and Resident #46. This affected two medication carts with undated
insulin for Residents #24 and Resident #46 of three medications carts reviewed for medications storage
and labeling. This had the potential to affect 11 residents (Residents #11, #22, #24, #33, #36, #37, #46,
#47, #65, #70 and #274) receiving insulin. The facility census was 71.
Findings include:
1. Review of medical record for Resident #46 with an admission date of 03/31/16 and diagnoses of type
one diabetes mellitus with diabetic autonomic neuropathy.
Review of Resident #46's current physician orders for December 2019 revealed she had an order for
Tresiba FlexTouch Solution Pen-injector 100 units per milliliter (ml) inject 52 units subcutaneously at
bedtime for diabetes.
Observation of medication storage on 12/09/19 at 4:45 P.M. of North Floor One medication cart with
Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #600 revealed Resident #46 had a opened Tresiba FlexTouch Solution
Pen-injector 100 unit per milliliter (ml) (insulin) in the medication cart undated when it was opened.
Interview on 12/09/19 at 4:47 P.M. with LPN #600 verified Resident #46's Tresiba FlexTouch Solution
Pen-injector 100 unit per milliliter (ml) (insulin) was not dated when the insulin was opened and revealed
when the insulin was opened the nurse should have dated the insulin.
2. Review of medical record for Resident #24 with an admission date of 03/11/19 and diagnoses of
diabetes mellitus with hyperglycemia.
Review of Resident #24's current physician orders for December 2019 revealed she had an order for
Lantus Solution Pen- injector 100 units per milliliter (ml) inject 36 units subcutaneously one time a day for
diabetes.
Observation of medication storage on 12/09/19 at 4:55 P.M. with LPN #601 of [NAME] Cart Two revealed
Resident #24 had a opened Lantus Solution Pen- injector 100 units per milliliter (ml) had a black smudge
on the side of the pen but was unable to read a date when the pen was opened.
Interview on 12/09/19 at 4:57 P.M. with LPN #601 verified Resident #24's Lantus Solution Pen- injector 100
units per milliliter (ml) had a black smudge on the side of the pen but was unable to read a date when the
pen was opened.
Review of facility policy titled, Medication Administration dated 06/17/17 revealed insulin was a high risk
drug and warranted additional precautions for the safe and effective administration. The nurse was to
ensure that all opened insulin was dated when opened by documenting on the vial or pen. The policy
revealed vials and pens without an open date recorded should be discarded.
