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 interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure resident's medical records were accurate and complete in accordance with the accepted professional standards and practices, for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1), when the nursing weekly summary and the skin evaluations did not reflect the skin changes from May 21, 2025, to May 31, 2025. These failures could negatively impact patient care and prevent staff or representatives from being aware of the potential changes in the resident's skin condition.

There were no skin and wound evaluations completed and no new measurements were obtained on May 21, 2025, and May 28, 2025, as required by facility protocol . A review of Resident 1's Nursing Weekly Summary, from May 15, 2025, to May 31, 2025, indicated the following: - May 15, 2025 .skin .any skin changes/breakdown? .NO (is checked) .other comments .continues tx to left lateral foot DTI, left lateral heel DTI, and coccyx . - May 22, 2025 skin .any skin changes/breakdown? .NO (is checked) .other comments .no new skin issues . - May 29, 2025 .skin .any skin changes/breakdown? .NO (is checked) .other comments NA . - May 31, 2025 .skin any skin changes/breakdown? .NO (is checked).

There was no documented evidence that the nursing assessments described the progressive skin changes identified by the treatment team from May 22, 2025, to May 31, 2025. On June 19, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., a concurrent interview and record review was conducted with the Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN). The treatment records (TAR), skin treatment evaluations, and progress notes of Residents 1 were reviewed. The LVN stated any skin changes found during the evaluation of the skin and wounds should reflect in the resident's record. The LVN stated, the treatment team performing skin and wound evaluations should obtain two sets of measurements: one manually and one using a digital tablet. The LVN stated when Resident 1's wound assessment was completed on May 21, 2025 and May 28, 2025, a skin evaluation should have been completed but it was not. The LVN further stated all skin evaluations should include both measurements and a wound description, especially when there is a change in the wound condition. On June 19, 2025, at 3:09 p.m. a concurrent interview and record review was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON), she stated the licensed nurse should document in the TAR and skin evaluation that treatment was completed, including a description of the wound and measurements. The DON stated, the licensed nurse should have completed a skin evaluation on May 21, 2025, when the change in skin condition was identified. The DON stated, the weekly nursing summary for Resident 1 did not reflect the skin changes and should have been updated to include the most current description of the skin condition from May 21, 2025, to May 31, 2025. The DON stated if the skin condition is not documented accurately, there was a potential risk that the resident may not receive the necessary care and treatment, and the nursing staff and representative parities to be unaware of the changes and care provided.
