Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on review of facility policy, clinical record review, observations, and interviews with resident and staff, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that residents who require dialysis receive such services, consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the residents' goals and preferences for one of two residents reviewed (Resident 123). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of facility policy, titled NSG253 Dialysis: Hemodialysis (HD) Communication and Documentation with a last revision date of June 15, 2022, revealed, in part: Center staff will communicate with the certified dialysis center regarding the ongoing assessment of the patient's condition by monitoring for complications before and after hemodialysis treatments; prior to leaving the facility a licensed nurse will complete the top portion of the Hemodialysis Communication Record and send with the patient to his/her HD facility visit; and upon return of the patient to the facility, a licensed nurse will review the dialysis center communication, evaluate the resident, and complete the post-hemodialysis treatment section of the Hemodialysis Communication Record; and maintain the Hemodialysis Communication Record in the patient's medical record. Review of Resident 123's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included end stage renal disease (a condition in which a person's kidneys cease functioning on a permanent basis, leading to the need for long-term dialysis or a kidney transplant) and atrial fibrillation (an irregular, often rapid heart rate that commonly causes poor blood flow). Review of Resident 123's current physician orders included Hemodialysis per physician order, with a start date of May 22, 2023; and Dialysis site observation-left upper arm every shift and as needed, dated May 22, 2023.

Based on facility policy review, clinical record review, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that the physician reviewed and responded to pharmacy review recommendations in a timely manner for one of five residents reviewed for unnecessary medications (Resident 125). Findings include: Review of facility policy, titled Medication Regimen Review revised March 3, 2020, revealed that the consultant pharmacist will conduct medication regimen reviews (MRRs) and make recommendations based on the information available in the resident's health record. Copies of residents' MRRs will be provided to the Director of Nursing (DON) and/or the attending physician and to the Medical Director. The facility will then encourage the physician/prescriber or other responsible parties to act upon the recommendations contained in the MRR. For the issues requiring intervention, the practitioner/prescriber should accept and act upon the recommendations, or reject all or some of the recommendations and provide an explanation as to why the recommendation was rejected. The attending practitioner should document in the residents' health records that the identified irregularity was reviewed and what, if any, action was taken to address it. If the attending physician decided to make no change in the medication, the attending physician should document the rationale in the resident's health record. Review of Resident 125's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included severe dementia with agitation (loss of memory, language, problem-solving, and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life) and anxiety disorder (mental disorder characterized by feelings of worry about future events and/or fear in reaction to current events). Further review of Resident 125's clinical record revealed that medication regimen reviews were completed on April 12, 2023, May 11, 2023, and on May 19, 2023. Irregularities were noted by the consultant pharmacist, and recommendations were made on those dates.
