Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on clinical records review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to timely follow a wound treatment recommended by the physician for one of the four residents reviewed (Resident 38).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: Review of Resident 38's clinical record revealed Resident 38 had Stage three (Thickness skin loss) to the sacrum (tail bone) with a wound treatment of Medihoney (A dressing that aids and supports debridement and a moist wound healing environment in acute and chronic wounds and burns), cover with foam dressing daily. Review of Resident 38's clinical record revealed a wound consult dated December 22, 2023, revealed a new wound treatment recommendation to cleanse the sacrum with normal saline, and apply Santyl (A topical medication used for removing damaged or burned skin to allow for wound healing and growth of healthy skin) to the base of the wound then secure with a bordered foam daily and as needed. Review of Resident 38's December 2023, Treatment Administration Record (TAR) revealed that the Medihoney treatment was discontinued on December 22, 2023. A review of the same TAR revealed that the Santyl treatment recommended by the wound NP (Nurse Practitioner) on December 22, 2023, was not implemented until December 27, 2023, five days after the wound treatment was recommended. Interview with licensed nurse Employee E3 on February 23, 2024, at 10:00 a.m., revealed the Nurse Practitioner's wound treatment recommendation to discontinue previous treatment of Medihoney was followed on December 22, 2023, but the recommendation to start new treatment of Santyl to the resident sacrum was missed until the error was discovered on December 27, 2023, five days after the wound treatment order was initiated. Employee E3 reported that the staff applied skin barrier cream to the resident Stage 3 sacrum. The facility failed to ensure wound care treatment for resident 38's stage three sacral wound was followed. 28 Pa. Code 211.5(f) Clinical Records 28 Pa. Code 211.12(d)(1)(3)(5) Nursing Services
