Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
closed medical record review, review of the hospital records, staff and physician interviews, review of facility
letters, and review of the facility policy, the facility failed to ensure Resident #80's continuity of care from the
hospital to the facility was thoroughly reviewed and implemented. This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy and
the potential for serious life-threatening injuries, negative health outcomes and/or death on [DATE] when
Resident #80 received Coumadin (anticoagulation medication) despite hospital orders and
recommendations to stop anticoagulation therapy until seen by the neurosurgeon. Consequently, this
resulted in Resident #80 being sent to the hospital and admitted to the neuro critical care unit on [DATE]
due to an increased subdural hemorrhage (a collection of blood between the brain and the skull that can be
life-threatening) and a craniotomy (a surgical procedure that involves removing a portion of the skull to
access the brain) for subdural evacuation (a surgical procedure to remove subdural hematoma). This
affected one (Resident #80) of four residents reviewed for continuity of care upon admission to the facility.
The facility census was 77.
Residents Affected - Few
On [DATE] at 3:43 P.M., the Licensed Nursing Home Administrator (LNHA), Director of Nursing (DON), and
Director of Clinical Services #300 were notified Immediate Jeopardy began on [DATE] when Certified Nurse
Practitioner (CNP) #205 ordered four milligrams (mg) of warfarin (generic for Coumadin) for Resident #80.
Resident #80 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a primary diagnosis of acute bilateral subdural
hemorrhage. Hospital discharge recommendations from neurology stated to hold off on anticoagulation
therapy until the resident follows up with the neurosurgeon and schedule a neurology appointment as soon
as possible (ASAP). The hospital discharge orders stated to discontinue the use of Coumadin. On [DATE],
CNP #205 ordered to start Coumadin for atrial fibrillation. CNP #205 did not discuss this order to restart the
medication Coumadin for Resident #80 with the physician or a neurosurgeon or cardiologist. Resident #80
continued with the use of Coumadin until he was discharged to the hospital. On [DATE], Resident #80 had
voiced complaints of a headache that would not go away with medication and had weakness in his hands,
and Resident #80 was sent to the hospital. On [DATE], while in the hospital, Resident #80 had an increase
in subdural hemorrhage and required a craniotomy for subdural evacuation. Interviews with Physician #200
and CNP #205 stated they would not have started Resident #80 on Coumadin if it said in the hospital
discharge orders not to.
The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on [DATE] when the facility implemented the following corrective
actions:
•
On [DATE], the DON and designee reviewed all residents receiving Coumadin with Physician #200. One
resident (#37) was identified to be currently on Coumadin and no new orders received. The DON or
designee performed a head-to-toe assessment on Resident #37 and no adverse findings were noted. The

revealed Resident #80 had intact cognition evidenced by a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS)
assessment score of 14 (out of 15).
Review of the hospital after visit summary dated [DATE] revealed Resident #80 was admitted to the hospital
with small acute bilateral subdural hemorrhage (SDH) on [DATE]. Resident #80 was admitted to the neuro
intensive care unit (ICU). The hospital course was complicated by seizures and acute stroke. Hospital
discharge recommendations included for the treatment of nontraumatic SDH, recommended to hold off on
anticoagulation therapy until the resident followed up with neurosurgery and to schedule a neurology
appointment ASAP. The after-visit summary also stated to stop taking warfarin two milligrams (mg). There

Review of Resident #80's progress notes revealed on [DATE] at 11:36 A.M., a family member of Resident
#80 said she had to feed Resident #80 because he was having trouble controlling his fingers well enough to
hold or handle utensils. On [DATE] at 11:45 A.M., Resident #80 had a headache that medication was not
helping. A neuro assessment was completed with no other abnormalities other than weakness in his hands.
Physician #200 was made aware, and he said to send Resident #80 to the emergency room for evaluation.
Review of Resident #80's Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated [DATE] revealed Resident #80
did not receive Coumadin on [DATE], [DATE], and [DATE]. From [DATE] to [DATE] (except [DATE]),
Resident #80 received Coumadin daily per physician orders.
Review of the hospital records dated [DATE] revealed Resident #80 was admitted to the Neuro ICU from
the emergency department. The history and physical documentation of the plan was to hold anticoagulation
in the setting of new subdural hematomas. The CT scan showed an increase in size of bilateral SDH since
[DATE]. The left side did not warrant intervention. The physician discussed with the family the
recommendation would be a reversal of his anticoagulation, and the resident will be at high risk to resume
anticoagulation given his SDH and right craniotomy. The family consented to surgery and on [DATE],
Resident #80 had a right craniotomy with evacuation. On [DATE], the family was concerned about Resident
#80 returning to the facility after hospitalization because of the medication error. On [DATE], Resident #80
was transferred to a neuro rehabilitation facility.
Telephone interview on [DATE] at 11:01 A.M. with Physician #200 stated he doesn't remember reviewing
Resident #80's discharge orders. Physician #200 stated it would make sense to hold the anticoagulants due
to the diagnosis of SDH. Physician #200 stated he wouldn't have recommended starting Resident #80 on
Coumadin if he saw it in the hospital discharge orders and after-visit summary. Physician #200 stated the
documentation where he or the on-call physician would review medications would be in the nursing notes.
Physician #200 stated he does not recall CNP #205 calling him the next day ([DATE]) to discuss starting
Resident #80 on Coumadin.
Telephone interview on [DATE] at 11:10 A.M. with CNP #205 stated the discharge orders she saw for
Resident #80 were from the cardiologist that said to just be careful restarting Coumadin considering the
atrial fibrillation. CNP #205 stated Physician #200 talked to the family about the risk and benefits of
Coumadin; however, there was no documentation of this discussion in Resident #80's medical record. CNP
#205 said the discharge orders she saw were from the cardiologist and not about the Coumadin. CNP #205
also stated if she saw the hospital discharge orders to hold anticoagulants until seen by the neurosurgeon
dated [DATE], she would not have ordered the Coumadin for Resident #80 unless cardiology said to do it.
CNP #205 verified she did not consult with Physician #200 or cardiology.
A subsequent telephone interview on [DATE] at 1:10 P.M. was held with CNP #205 along with the DON
present. CNP #205 stated she was at the facility on [DATE] and Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #154 had
the medication administration record and said Resident #80 was on Heparin (anticoagulant) at the hospital
and Coumadin prior to the hospital. CNP #205 said Resident #80's wife was at bedside and she went in to
talk to Resident #80's family. CNP #205 said she got the doses Resident #80 was on at the Coumadin clinic
from the family. CNP #205 said she was going to be careful and restart it as it made sense to CNP #205
from the critical care standpoint. CNP #205 said Resident #80 could throw a clot due to therapy. CNP #205
said the hospital after-visit summary dated [DATE] was not available at that time or it wasn't uploaded into
Resident #80's medical record. CNP #205 said she went by a cardiology note. CNP #205 reiterated that
she went by a cardiology note as she did not have access to the after-visit summary at that time. CNP #205
stated if she had access to the after-visit summary at

that time, she would not have started Resident #80 on the Coumadin. CNP #205 stated she went by the
information she had at that time which was the cardiology notes and talking to the family. CNP #205 stated
she goes by discharge orders. The DON said the after-visit summary was always there for them to review.
CNP #205 said Physician #200 and she did not see it at that time. The DON said CNP #205, or Physician
#200 typically asked for the after-visit summary and CNP #205 asked LPN #154 for it that day. The DON
said she was not aware that CNP #205 did not have it.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview on [DATE] at 1:43 P.M. with LPN #154 stated the floor nurse reviews the new admission's
after-visit summary. LPN #154 stated she asks for clarification if she sees a new order that contradicts the
after-visit summary. LPN #154 stated she told CNP #205 on [DATE] that she saw Resident #80 had a
history of atrial fibrillation and he wasn't on atrial fibrillation medication at the time. LPN #154 said she told
CNP #205 why Resident #80 was admitted to the hospital and asked her if the facility needed to continue
Coumadin therapy. LPN #154 said it was her understanding that CNP #205 had access to the after-visit
summary documentation.
Interview on [DATE] at 12:06 P.M. with the DON stated the floor nurse, unit managers, or DON read and
review an after-visit summary when a resident was admitted . The DON also stated when new orders come
in, they get verified and signed off by CNP #205 or Physician #200 before going in the computer system.
When CNP #205 or Physician #200's order contradicts discharge orders from a newly admitted resident,
the nurse was to question the discrepancy and then document if the order still stands or needs to be
changed. The DON doesn't believe she saw the documentation of Resident #80 when his order was
questioned.
Interview on [DATE] at 4:30 P.M. with Manager of Clinical Services #350 confirmed there was no cardiology
note for Resident #80 from the hospital records dated [DATE] to [DATE] (in reference to CNP #205 stating
she went by the cardiology note to start Resident #80 on Coumadin on [DATE]), and they don't have it.
Manager of Clinical Services #350 stated the facility does not have a continuity of care policy.
Review of a letter dated [DATE] from the [NAME] President of Post-Acute Operations #600 revealed CNP
#205 had access to hospital records via MedOne's electronic medical record and the facility's electronic
medical record on [DATE] for Resident #80.
Review of a letter dated [DATE] from Physician #200 revealed he did have access to the medical records
provided by the hospitals who refer residents. The access was via uploaded documents to the facility's
electronic medical record software maintained by the facility.
Review of the facility's policy titled Coumadin Best Practice dated [DATE] revealed upon admission, the
nurse accepting the resident will call the attending physician/CNP and verify the orders for the residents
Coumadin dose.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00159587.
