F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on clinical record review and resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that the resident assessment accurately reflected the resident's status for three of 15 residents reviewed (Residents 7, 27, and 41). Residents Affected - Few Findings Include: Review of Resident 7's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included muscle weakness and other abnormalities of gait and mobility (difficulty walking caused by various conditions). Review of facility incident reports dated March 11 and 12, 2024, revealed that Resident 7 experienced a fall on each of those dates when she was lowered to the floor by staff. Review of Resident 7's April 24, 2024, comprehensive MDS (Minimum Data Set - an assessment tool to review all care areas specific to the resident such as a resident's physical, mental or psychosocial needs) revealed it was coded to indicate that Resident 7 had not experienced any falls since her last assessment dated [DATE]. In email correspondence received from the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on May 30, 2024, at 12:26 PM, he confirmed that Resident 7's March 11 and 12, 2024, falls were not properly captured on her April 24, 2024, MDS assessment. Review of Resident 27's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included chronic venous insufficiency (a condition in which blood pools in the veins, straining the walls of the veins), congestive heart failure (CHF a long-term condition that happens when your heart can't pump blood well enough to give your body a normal supply), and hypertension (high blood pressure). During an interview with Resident 27 on May 28, 2024, at 10:23 AM, he revealed he had concerns about a wound he acquired in the hospital that hasn't healed. Review of select facility wound tracking documentation on May 28, 2024, at 1:45 PM, revealed Resident 27 was noted as having an active hospital acquired pressure injury (damage to the skin or other tissues caused by prolonged periods of pressure) since his admission on [DATE]. Review of Resident 27's admission MDS with ARD (assessment reference date- last day of the assessment period) of March 4, 2024, revealed Resident 27 was marked no to indicate he does not have a pressure injury.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on clinical record review, observations, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to provide care and services to prevent and treat pressure injuries in accordance with professional standards for one of three residents reviewed for pressure injuries (Resident 9). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of Resident 9's clinical records revealed diagnoses that included dementia (progressive, irreversible degenerative brain disease that results in decreased contact with reality and decreased ability to perform activities of daily living) and end stage renal disease (severely compromised ability of the kidneys to filter toxins from the blood). Review of Resident 9's physician orders revealed an active order which stated, Monitor dry blisters on toes - if drainage noted, apply Mepilex transfer and [dressing] and schedule to change [Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and as-needed], dated July 6, 2022. During a treatment observation on May 29, 2024, at approximately 11:41 AM, Resident 9 was observed to have an open blister to the outer aspect of her right fifth toe. The area appeared to be approximately 0.5 centimeters (cm - metric unit of measure) in width and 0.5 cm in length, with no depth. There was a small amount of loose skin and the characteristics of the area were consistent with a stage II pressure injury (shallow open area of the skin that does not present with slough/eschar [dead cells/skin] caused by pressure over a bony prominence). After the observation, Employee 3 revealed that Resident 9 had a fluid filled blister and confirmed that the blister had become an open area. Review of Resident 9's clinical record revealed no documentation of the open area, to include progress note from nursing staff regarding the formation of a pressure injury, notification of the physician of the open area on the right fifth toe, wound assessment(s) including dimensions and characteristics of the wound, nor a care plan for the pressure injury. It was also revealed that there was no evaluation of the area by the wound team or physician. Review of Resident 9's weekly skin checks revealed no skin check identified the area observed on Resident 9's right fifth toe. During a staff interview on May 29, 2024, at approximately 1:30 PM, Director of Nursing (DON) revealed that the order for a treatment and dressing, reviewed above, was from an unrelated skin condition that was not pressure injuries. Review of a wound assessment conducted on May 29, 2024 at 7:54 PM, confirmed the observations as the facility assessed the wound as a 0.6 cm by 0.5 cm pressure injury. During a staff interview on May 30, 2024, at approximately 12:30 PM, DON revealed that, due to the lack of documentation and/or assessments, the facility was unable to determine the exact date that the pressure injury first presented. During a staff interview on May 30, 2024, at approximately 12:45 PM, Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) revealed it was the facility's expectation that new wounds are reported to the attending physician and the facility wound team for care, services, and treatment.

During a staff interview on May 30, 2024, at approximately 12:30 PM, Director of Nursing (DON) revealed that when staff initially entered Resident 154's medication orders into the electronic health record, an error was made causing the pharmacy to not send the medication. During the interview, DON stated that facility staff contacted pharmacy regarding the lack of medication, but that the pharmacy computer system showed that delivery was not needed for the medications. During the interview, DON revealed it was expected that orders are entered correctly. 28 Pa. Code 201.14(a) Responsibility of licensee 28 Pa. Code 201.18(b)(1)(3) Management 28 Pa.

F 0756 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart, following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures. Based on clinical record review, policy review, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that the drug regimen of each resident was reviewed at least monthly by a licensed pharmacist, that irregularities were reported to the appropriate parties, and that these reports were acted upon for two of 5 residents reviewed for unnecessary medications (Residents 7 and 41). Findings include: Review of facility policy, titled Medication Regimen Review - Pharmacy, revised August 10, 2017, revealed that the medication regimen of each resident is reviewed by a licensed pharmacist according to federal, state, and local regulations. The pharmacist must report any irregularities to the attending physician, the facility's medical director, and the Director of Nursing (DON), and that these reports must be acted upon in a manner that meets the needs of the residents. Upon receipt of the written consultant pharmacist report for non-urgent recommendations, the DON or designee shall provide the report to the attending physician or their designee within 7 days, and the attending physician or designee should ideally respond within 7 days of the pharmacist's review date, but no later than the next regularly scheduled physician visit. Review of Resident 7's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included anxiety disorder (mental disorder characterized by feelings of worry about future events and/or fear in reaction to current events) and major depressive disorder (mental disorder characterized by at least two weeks of low mood that is present across most situations). Review of pharmacist note dated November 1, 2023, revealed the following recommendation: Medications reviewed. Please consider ordering a CBC [Complete Blood Count - blood test used to monitor or diagnose health conditions] to monitor this resident's SSRI [Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors - medications that treat depression by increasing levels of Serotonin in the brain] therapy. See recommendation form. Further review of Resident 7's clinical record failed to reveal any evidence that this recommendation was reviewed or acted upon. During an interview with the DON on May 30, 2024, at 1:32 PM, she revealed the facility received an email from the pharmacist on November 1, 2023, regarding pharmacy reviews for that month. Attached to the email was a blank recommendation form, so the facility assumed no recommendations were made. The DON also revealed that the facility was unaware that the pharmacist was entering notes into the Resident's electronic health record, so did not look there to see if any recommendations had been made. Review of Consultant Pharmacist Recommendation to Physician form dated February 27, 2024, revealed the pharmacist made the following recommendations after reviewing Resident 7's medication regimen: Please verify that the following PRN [as-needed] orders are still required and NOT considered for routine therapy .1. Baclofen [skeletal muscle relaxant] (not used in >60 days) 2. Chloraseptic [relieves sore throat and mouth pain] (not used in >60 days) 3. Hydrocortisone [used to reduce pain, swelling and allergic-type reactions] ( not used in >60 days) 4. Lactulose [laxative] (not used in >60 days) 5. Miralax [laxative] (not used in >60 days) 6.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Review of Consultant Pharmacist Recommendation to Physician Form dated March 24, 2024, revealed the same recommendation that was made on February 27, 2024, was again made on that date. Residents Affected - Few Review of Resident 7's clinical record failed to reveal evidence that the recommendation made on February 27, 2024, was reviewed or acted upon between that date and the date of the pharmacist's next medication regimen review on March 24, 2024. During an interview with the DON on May 30, 2024, at 1:32 PM, she revealed the expectation that the February 2024 recommendation should have been reviewed and acted upon timely. Review of Resident 41's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included anxiety disorder, bullous pemphigoid (a skin condition that causes large, fluid-filled blisters), and protein calorie malnutrition (PCM an imbalance between the nutrients your body needs to function and the nutrients it gets). Review of Resident 41's clinical record on May 29, 2024, at 9:50 AM, failed to reveal pharmacy medication regimen review notes for the months of January 2024 through March 2024. Review of select facility forms from the pharmacy, containing a list of residents who had no recommendations made for January 2024 through March 2024, failed to include Resident 41. During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on May 30, 2024, he revealed they are doing ongoing staff education on a new process since the building has switched pharmacy services as of December 2023. It was revealed that the recommendations get faxed over from the pharmacy and put in the physician folder for review, the physician should be signing off on any recommendations made, and then implemented and scanned into the resident's medical record accordingly. Interview with the DON on May 30, 2024, at 1:38 PM, revealed she is unable to locate Resident 41's pharmacy reviews with physician responses for the aforementioned months, and she would expect them to be available and reviewed by the physician. 28 Pa.
