F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. Based on observations, review of facility policy and clinical records, and staff and resident interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to maintain resident dignity by placing a wander guard bracelet (a device with a small box on a plastic bracelet placed on an at risk wandering person to alert the staff if that person attempts to exit the facility without staff supervision) on one of two residents reviewed for wander guard usage (Resident R24). Findings include: Review of a facility policy entitled General Safety Practices at The Pavilion dated 12/28/2023, revealed All residents at risk for elopement will be placed on the second floor and a wander guard bracelet will be initiated. Review of Resident R24's clinical record revealed an admission date of 4/15/16, with diagnoses that included hypertension (high blood pressure), heart failure (a condition where the heart cannot supply the body with enough blood), presence of artificial knee joint, and edema (swelling to an area of body due to holding excessive fluid). Review of residents that reside on the second floor locked unit revealed that only eight of 25 residents had wander guards in place. Further review of Resident R24's clinical record revealed, no evidence of an evaluation for elopement risk. Review of MDS Section C - Cognitive Patterns C0500 with assessment dates of 2/24/23, 5/11/23, 8/8/23 and 11/5/23, revealed a BIMS (Brief Interview of Mental Status- cognitive interview to check mental status of a person with a score of zero being severely impaired and 15 being alert and oriented) of 15 on all four dates. Review of MDS Section E Behavior E0900 with assessment dates of 2/24/23, 5/11/23, 8/8/23 and 11/5/23 revealed a Wandering - Presence and Frequency (assessment codes as 0-behavior not exhibited through three indicating that the behavior of this type occurred daily) assessment coded as zero-behavior not exhibited, on all four dates for Resident R24. Observations on 1/2/2024, at 4:06 p.m. revealed a wander guard bracelet on Resident R24's left ankle. Interview with Resident R24 on 1/2/2024, at 4:06 p.m. revealed he/she had the wander guard bracelet placed several years ago due to him/her leaving the facility and going to the store. He/she stated that he/she did not know that they were not allowed to leave the facility, he/she used to sit (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of facility policy and clinical records, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure a physician's order was completed correctly to indicate the code status as Full Code (CPR/Attempt Resuscitation) or Do Not Resuscitate (DNR/Do Not Attempt Resuscitation-Allow Natural Death) for one of 19 residents reviewed (Resident R39). Findings include: Review of a facility policy Advance Directives-Health Care Proxy, MOLST/POLST, Living Will dated [DATE], revealed All adult individuals in New York State and in Pennsylvania have the right to self-determination in Health Care and the right to express their preferences regarding health care treatment, including decisions to continue or refuse routine or major medical treatment, as well as life-sustaining treatment without which the individual is expected to die. Advance directives such as health care proxies (HCP), living wills and consents to Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders allow an adult to express his/her healthcare treatment preferences and wishes, in order to be prepared for those situations in which that individual may be unable to communicate for him/herself. Instructions - It is a BRMC-OGH goal to encourage Health Care Proxy completion among competent patients, and to place those documents in the permanent medical record in ambulatory, acute, and long-term care settings. For patients who are already incapacitated with no proxy, it is a goal to identify surrogate decision makers as early as possible and actively engage them in the care of those patients. Review of Resident 39's clinical record revealed an admission date of [DATE], with diagnoses that included weakness, urinary tract infection, failure to thrive, and Parkinson's disease (a disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement, often tremors). Resident R39's clinical record indicated Full Code on the Code Status Form dated [DATE], signed by Resident R39's power of attorney (POA). A physician order dated [DATE], indicated Resident R39 to be a DNR. Review of Resident R39's clinical record on [DATE], at 2:00 p.m. lacked evidence of a POLST. During an interview on [DATE], at 3:20 p.m. the Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator (RNAC) provided Resident R39's POLST which indicated a Full Code status. The RNAC confirmed the POLST was not maintained, but should be on Resident R39's clinical record for direction of Resident R39's plan of care. During an interview on [DATE], at 3:25 p.m. the RNAC confirmed Resident R39's code status was documented in error as a DNR as a physician order and should be a Full Code as indicated by the POA and POLST. 28 Pa.
