Based on review of facility policy and clinical records and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to maintain accurate and complete documentation related to falls for one of three residents reviewed (Resident R1).
Findings include: Review of facility policy dated 8/9/23, entitled Fall Prevention and Fall Management indicated that When a fall occurs the following will be followed by the nurse - Complete a QA Incident Report and Document the assessment of the resident and any orders / interventions in the medical record. Resident R1's clinical record revealed an admission date of 4/23/23, with diagnoses that included Multiple Sclerosis (MS - a degenerative disease that affects the nerves disrupting the signals between the brain and body), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI - injury to the brain caused by trauma), and Epilepsy (neurological disorder resulting in seizures). Investigation into Resident R1's fall history revealed there was no evidence in Resident R1's clinical record of a fall occurring on or around 10/13/2023. Interview with Director of Nursing (DON) on 11/21/2023, at approximately 11:47 a.m. revealed that although he/she was not present at the time of the fall, Resident R1 was in the Nursing Home Administrator's (NHA) office when he/she attempted to stand on his/her own and fell. Phone interview with NHA confirmed that this did occur and that the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) were present and that EMS assisted Resident R1 to the stretcher, treated a skin tear that was sustained and transported Resident R1 to the emergency room due to an unrelated issue. During an interview on 11/21/2023, at approximately 12:00 p.m. the DON confirmed that the clinical record should contain a progress note or an incident report related to the fall and that Resident R1's clinical record lacked evidence of either one being completed. 28 Pa.
