F 0661 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure necessary information is communicated to the resident, and receiving health care provider at the time of a planned discharge. Based on review of facility policies, clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that a discharge summary, which included a recapitulation of the resident's stay and the resident's discharge status, physician's final diagnosis and prognosis or cause of death was completed for three of three closed clinical records reviewed (Residents CR94, CR95, and CR96). Findings include: A facility policy last reviewed 2/15/24, entitled Discharge Policy and Procedure indicated that a recapitulation of the resident's stay, a final summary of the resident's status and the disposition of medications would be part of the interdisciplinary summary discharge summary. A facility policy entitled Closed Record Policy dated 2/06/24, indicated that an interdisciplinary discharge summary is to be completed on all discharges from the facility by each member of the interdisciplinary team (IDT) and include: a short summary of resident's stay; final summary of resident status; disposition of medications; IDT on current caseload to sign off with specific instructions; physician's discharge prognosis, discharge diagnosis, cause of death, physician's signature- as applicable; and the summary goes to medical records with the chart. Resident CR94's closed clinical record revealed an admission date of 12/25/23, with diagnoses that included diabetes (condition related to inadequate insulin and high blood sugars), high blood pressure and heart disease. Resident CR94's clinical record revealed the resident was discharged from the facility on 1/2/24. Further review of Resident CR94's clinical record, lacked evidence of a discharge summary having been completed which included a recapitulation of the resident's stay and a final summary of the resident's status. During interview on 3/22/24, at 10:10 a.m. the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that Resident CR94's closed clinical records lacked evidence of a discharge summary being completed. Resident CR96's closed clinical record revealed an admission date of 1/07/24, with diagnoses including a broken rib, altered mental status, cognitive communication deficit, and difficulty speaking. Departmental progress notes revealed that Resident CR96 ceased to breath on 2/13/24, at the facility.

Findings include: A facility policy entitled, Medication Regimen Review and Reporting dated 2/06/24, indicated that findings/recommendations of interim (routine interval) MRR are communicated to the Director of Nursing (DON) or designee and medical director, and that the findings are documented and filed with other consultant pharmacist recommendations in the resident's chart. Resident R49's clinical record revealed an admission date of 3/12/18, with diagnoses including left-sided paralysis post stroke, Type 2 Diabetes (condition of improper insulin levels and blood sugar control), heart failure, irregular heartbeat, and dementia.

F 0758 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated, prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited. Based on review of facility policy and clinical records, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to provide a clinical rationale and duration for the continued use of a PRN (as needed) psychotropic (affecting the mind) medication beyond 14 days for two of five residents reviewed (Residents R34 and R50). Findings include: A facility policy entitled Psychotropic Medication Policy dated 2/6/24, indicated that, PRN orders for psychotropic drugs are limited to 14 days. The attending physician or prescriber may extend the order beyond 14 days if he/she believes the order is appropriate. The prescriber must document the rational and duration when extending the order. PRN orders for anti-psychotic drugs are limited to 14 days and cannot be renewed unless the attending physician or prescribing practitioner evaluates the resident. Review of Resident R34's clinical record revealed an admission date of 2/23/23, with diagnoses that included dementia (a disease that affects short term memory and the ability to think logically), anxiety disorder (a disorder that causes a person to be nervous, uneasy, or worried about something or someone), and hypertension (high blood pressure). Review of Resident R34's clinical record revealed a physician's order to administer Lorazepam (anti-anxiety medication), 0.5 milligrams (mg) by mouth every 24 hours PRN for anxiety and lacked the required stop date within 14 days or a clinical rationale for continued use beyond 14 days. Review of a pharmacy recommendation form revealed an order for Lorazepam 0.5 mg every 24 hours PRN which lacked a rational and a duration for the medication. Review of Resident R50's clinical record revealed an admission date of 1/22/24, with diagnoses that included, dementia, hypertension, and traumatic brain injury (a serious condition that affects the brain's function because of a sudden impact or penetration to the head). Review of Resident R50's clinical record revealed a physician's order dated 2/9/24, to administer Lorazepam 0.5 mg by mouth every four hours PRN for anxiety and lacked the required stop date within 14 days or a clinical rationale for continued use beyond 14 days. Further review of Resident R50's clinical record revealed a physician's order dated 2/9/24, to administer Haloperidol (anti-psychotic) 0.5 mg by mouth every four hours PRN for agitation and lacked evidence that the resident was evaluated by the attending physician or prescribing practitioner. There also lacked the required stop date within 14 days or a clinical rationale for continued use beyond 14 days. During an interview on 3/21/24, at 12:54 p.m. the Nursing Home Administrator and Employee E1 confirmed that Resident R34's Lorazepam order and Resident R50's Lorazepam and Haloperidol orders lacked the required stop date within 14 days or a clinical rationale for continued use beyond 14 days.
