Diagnoses of encephalopathy, diabetes, acute kidney disease, protein-calorie malnutrition, Respiratory failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, disruption of external operation wound, anemia, schizophrenia, ileostomy, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension.

Review of the Medicare Five-Day assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #60 had intact cognition. He had an ostomy and was frequently incontinent of bladder and bowel. He had a surgical wound. Review of the March 2024 progress notes revealed documentation the physician was notified prior to Resident #60 being sent out to the hospital on [DATE] for elevated white blood cells (WBC). Further review of the medical record revealed no findings of any test/laboratory results to confirm he had an elevated WBC count. In addition, there was no documentation of him having a change in status to warrant being sent to a hospital nor was there any documentation of Resident #60 or resident representative requesting he be sent out to the hospital. Review of the eINTERACT form dated 03/22/24 revealed Resident #60 was sent out to the hospital for elevated WBC and possible sepsis. Review of the emergency room (ER) report dated 03/22/24 revealed Resident #60 was admitted to the hospital earlier this year for a gunshot wound to the abdomen. He now had a colostomy and an open abdominal wound with a wound vac. He was admitted to the skilled nursing facility five days ago. He stated they had been having issues today with his wound vac not sealing properly and his blood work was abnormal. The facility communicated Resident #60's WBC count was high. The ER nurse was asked to call the facility and they were unable to find the blood work or documentation of why he was sent to the ER. He denied an abdominal pain, fever, or vomiting. He was complaining of leakage at the lower aspect of the wound vac. The wound vac did appear to be accumulating a little bit of serosanguineous fluid to the inferior aspect of the dressing. His laboratory results from the ER showed mild leukocytosis (elevated WBC count which could indicate infection or inflammation in the body) of 11 up from last weeks of 10.6 The final impression was wound vac leaking and mild leukocytosis. The resident had no clinical signs of infection, the mild leukocytosis was trivial and he had no other signs of infection at this time. The wound vac was leaking due to a poor seal but the fluid appeared serosanguineous and not purulent. Review of the progress note dated 03/23/24 at 6:23 A.M. revealed Resident #60 was admitted back to the facility at 12:45 A.M. His wound vac and colostomy bag were intact.

She stated she told LPN #108 to assess his wound thoroughly because he could possibly have an elevated WBC count. The DON stated there were no test/laboratory results to indicate an elevated WBC count so the only reason she could think of for LPN #171 indicating on the hospital transfer form he had an elevated WBC count was because the DON said he could possibly have elevated WBC count. She stated he was only out to the hospital for a couple hours before he was sent back to the facility with no new orders. She verified at this time there was not proper testing, documentation, or accurate physician notification to send Resident #60 to the hospital and Resident #60's needs could have been met in the facility. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint number OH00152345. 366085 Page 6 of 12 366085 04/02/2024 Legends Care Rehabilitation and Nursing Center 2311 Nave Road SE Massillon, OH 44646
