Based on review of clinical records and select facility policy and staff interview, it was determined that the
facility failed to timely consult with the physician and notify a resident's representative of an unwitnessed fall
incurred by one resident out of nine sampled (Resident 1).
Findings include:
A review of facility policy entitled Resident Change in Condition Policy last reviewed by the facility July
2022, revealed that the licensed nurse will recognize and intervene in the event of a change in condition.
The physician and responsible party will be notified as soon as the nurse has identified the change in
condition.
A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident 1 was admitted into the facility on June 23, 2022, with
diagnoses which included cerebral infarction (damage to tissues in the brain due to a loss of oxygen to the
area).
A review of a nursing note dated for April 15, 2023, at 9:00 AM, but written on April 18, 2023, at 10:29 PM
revealed that the resident had an unwitnessed fall and staff found the resident on the floor.
A review of the resident's clinical record revealed no documented evidence the resident's attending
physician or responsible party were notified of the resident's fall at the of the occurrence on April 5, 2023.
An interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on May 24, 2023, at approximately 10:00 AM confirmed
the facility failed to timely notify the resident's attending physician and the responsibility party of the
resident's fall at the time of occurrence.
This deficiency is cited as past non-compliance.

o
Resident 1 had an assessment completed by a nurse on April 17, 2023. The resident had pain on April 18,
2023, and the physician was notified and new orders were noted.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
To identify other residents that have the potential to be affected, the Regional Director of Clinical Services
(RDCS) or designee we'll review progress notes going back 30 days to identify if any events occurred that
required an incident and accident report. If identified that one was not completed, it will be completed and
the physician and responsible party will be notified.

o
to identify like residents that have the potential to be affected, the Social Worker (SW) or designee we'll
interview capable residents to identify if they had fallen in the past 30 days. The facility will review the
results of those audits and if a resident answered yes the facility will ensure that physician and responsible
party notification was completed.
o
To prevent this from happening again the nursing home administrator or designee will educate the licensed
nursing staff when a resident has a fall that an incident report must be completed, an RN must assess the
resident, and the physician and responsible party must be notified.
o
To monitor and maintain ongoing compliance the social worker or designee will interview 5 capable
residents weekly for 4 weeks then monthly for 2 months to identify if they had fallen in the past week. The
RDCS or designee will review results of the audits to correlate a yes response to the incident and accident
report being completed and to ensure that the physician and responsible party was notified. The result of
the audit will be forwarded to the facilities quality assurance committee for further review.
The completion date for this plan of correction was April 22, 2023.
