Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review, observation, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure
complete and accurate clinical documentation for one of seven residents reviewed (Resident CR1).
Findings include:
Closed clinical record review for Resident CR1 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
at 4:30 PM and signed out of the facility against medical advice on January 26, 2025, at 9:13 PM.
Closed clinical record review for Resident CR1 revealed a diagnosis list that included Type Two Diabetes
Mellitus (a condition where the body cannot properly regulate blood sugar which results in an abnormally
high blood sugar levels).
Clinical record review for Resident CR1 revealed a physician's order on the Medication Administration
Record and Treatment Administration Record (MAR/TAR where staff document the administration of
medications and treatments) dated January 26, 2025, at 9:00 AM that instructed staff to obtain a blood
sugar four times a day for diabetes monitoring. Further review of the MAR/TAR revealed that staff
documented with a checkmark (which indicated completed) on January 26, 2025, at 9:00 AM, 12:00 PM,
and 5:00 PM. However, there were no values noted.
Facility documentation titled Weights and Vitals Summary, noted a blood sugar documented as 210
mg/dL(milligrams per deciliter) on January 26, 2025, at 6:15 PM. However, the facility could not provide any
evidence of the values of the other two blood sugars that were documented as obtained.
An interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on February 18, 2025, at 12:15 PM revealed that the
facility could not provide documentation on the additional two missing blood sugar values that were
documented as obtained.
An interview with Employee 1, licensed practical nurse, on February 18, 2025, at 12:32 PM revealed
Employee 1 had documented the blood sugars as measured, which was indicated with a checkmark on the
MAR/TAR at the specified times in the electronic health record. However, was unable to pull up the values
of the missing blood sugar measurements that Employee 1 also stated were entered at the specified times.
The facility failed to ensure a complete and accurate clinical record for Resident CR1.
The Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing were informed of the above on February 18,
2025, at 3:45 PM.
