Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
Based on review of facility policies, clinical records, and facility documentation, and staff interview, it was
determined that the facility failed to maintain complete and accurate records for three of 12 residents
reviewed (Residents R1, R2, and R3).
Findings include:
Review of a facility policy entitled Resident Incident Reporting indicated that: all resident incidents are
identified and tracked for compliance to assure follow-up on all resident incidents and provide treatment as
appropriate; at the time of the incident staff will complete the Resident Incident Report including
family/physician notification; all incidents are reviewed and care planned; and incidents are forwarded to the
Director of Nursing (DON), Administrator (NHA), and Medical Director (MD) for review and comments if
applicable.
Review of Resident R1's clinical record revealed an admission date of 2/22/22, with diagnoses that
included brain injury, epilepsy (brain disorder that causes recurring, unprovoked seizures), inability to
speak, tracheostomy (a procedure to help air and oxygen reach the lungs by creating an opening into the
trachea [windpipe] from outside the neck), and quadriplegia (paralysis that affects all a person's limbs and
body from the neck down). The clinical record also revealed a physician's order dated 9/18/23, at 11:50
p.m. to obtain an x-ray of the left pointer finger as soon as possible.
Review of Resident R1's departmental progress notes revealed that on 9/19/23, at 8:17 a.m. staff Licensed
Practical Nurse (LPN) documented discussed with second shift supervisor left pointer finger swollen,
bruised, and possibly broken; at 11:00 a.m. x-ray to left pointer finger as soon as possible to rule out
fracture, and may apply ice to finger; and at 2:11 p.m. an x-ray obtained at 11:30 a.m.
Review of Resident R1's x-ray results dated 9/19/23, at 11:52 a.m. revealed no fracture nor dislocation of
the left pointer finger.
Further review of Resident R1's clinical record revealed lack of evidence that an investigation was initiated
for an injury of unknown origin, or that the resident's representative was notified of the change in
condition/injury and possible fracture.
During an interview on 11/01/23, at 12:30 p.m. the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) and Administrator
(NHA) confirmed that there was not evidence that an investigation was initiated or that Resident R1's family
was notified of the injury and that there should have been an investigation initiated and notification to family.
