F 0645 PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure one of two final sampled residents (Resident 76) who was readmitted to the facility had a Level 1 PASARR screening. This failure had the potential of not providing the residents screened for mental illness or intellectual disabilities with additional resources if needed. Residents Affected - Few Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled PASARR revised 3/2019 showed all individuals are screened for mental disorders (MD), intellectual disabilities (ID) or related disorders (RD) per the Medicaid Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR) process. a. The facility verifies with the acute care hospital if a Level I PASARR screen for potential admissions and readmissions, regardless soft payer source, to determine if the individual meets the criteria for a MD, ID or RD. b. Before a resident can be transferred from an acute care hospital, they must undergo a PASARR Level I screening. This initial screening is designated to identify individuals who may have mental illness (MI), intellectual disability (ID), or related conditions. The goal is to determine whether they require further evaluation (Level II) to assess the need for specialized services. c. If the Level I screen indicates that the individual may meet the criteria for a MD, ID, or RD, he or she is referred to the state PASARR representative for the Level II (evaluation and determination) screening process. Medical record review for Resident 76 was initiated on 11/4/24. Resident 76 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted back to the facility on 9/10/24. Review of the resident's H&P examination dated 9/11/24, showed the resident had no capacity to understand and make decisions. Further review of Resident 76's Order Summary Report dated 11/4/24, showed the following physician orders: - an order dated 9/11/24, to administer Risperdal (mood medication) 0.25 mg via GT every 12 hours for schizophrenia (mental disorder that impairs the way reality is perceived) manifested by seeing people that not there. - an order dated 9/10/24, to administer trazodone (depression medication) 50 mg one tablet via GT at bedtime for depression manifested by inability to maintain sleep. - an order dated 10/10/24, to administer escitalopram oxalate (depression medication) 5 mg two tablets via GT once day a day for depression manifested by tearfulness.

Medical record review for Resident 43 was initiated on 11/4/24. Resident 43 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Residents Affected - Few Review of Resident 43's physician's order dated 9/26/24, showed to administer continuous oxygen via nasal cannula at 2 liters per minute for fluid overload. Review of Resident 43's care plan titled Respiratory initiated 9/27/24, showed to administer oxygen at a rate of 2 liters per minute via nasal cannula. On 11/4/24 at 1006 hours, an observation, interview, and concurrent medical record review was conducted with LVN 8. LVN 8 verified Resident 43's continuous oxygen was being administered at a rate of 1.5 liters per minute, via nasal cannula. LVN 8 verified Resident 43's Respiratory care plan showed to administer oxygen via nasal cannula at a rate of 2 liters per minute, for fluid overload. Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the comprehensive person-centered care plans were developed and implemented for five of 30 final sampled residents (Residents 34, 43, 63, 76, and 743) as evidence by the following: * The facility failed to develop and implement an EBP care plan for Resident 34. * The facility failed to develop and implement an oxygen care plan for Resident 63. * The facility failed to develop and implement a LAL mattress for Resident 76. * The facility failed to develop and implement an EBP care plan for Resident 743. * Resident 43's care plan for the use of oxygen showed to administer continuous oxygen at a rate of 2 liters per minute, however, the nursing staff failed to implement the care plan, as evidenced by having administered continuous oxygen therapy to Resident 43 at a rate of 1.5 liters per minute. These failures had the potential of not providing residents with person-centered plan of care. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered revised 3/2022 showed a comprehensive, person-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's physical, psychosocial and functional needs is developed and implemented for each resident. The comprehensive, person-centered care plan describes the services that are to be furnished to attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. The P&P further showed the comprehensive, person-centered care plan reflects currently recognized standards of practice for problem areas and conditions. Assessments of residents are ongoing and care plan are revised as information about the residents and the residents' conditions change. 1.

Review of Resident 38's Order Summary Report dated 11/4/24, showed a physician's order dated 6/7/24, for an indwelling urinary catheter for wound management. On 11/7/24 at 1430 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON acknowledged the above findings. Based on observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the infection control was maintained as evidenced by: * The facility failed to ensure Residents 34 and 743 with indwelling urinary catheters and midline IV (intravenous) catheter were placed on EBP as per the facility's P&P. * The facility failed to conduct surveillance of infections for the residents who showed signs and symptoms of infection but were not on antimicrobials. * The facility failed to identity organisms on the surveillance line listing. * Resident 38's indwelling urinary catheter drainage bag was on the floor and a urinal with scant amount of yellow urine was observed hanging from the trash can adjacent to Resident 38's bed. These failures put the residents a risk for increased risk of infection and transmissions of diseases. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Enhanced Barrier Precautions revised 3/2024, showed the purpose of this policy is to ensure the safety of residents, healthcare workers, and visitors by implementing enhanced barrier precautions in situations where there is an increased risk of transmission of infectious diseases.

Enhanced barrier precautions are indicated for residents with any of the following: - wounds and/or indwelling medical devices even if the resident is not known to be infected or colonized with a MDRO (Multidrug-resistant organisms - organisms that are resistant to multiple antibiotics or antifungals). The P&P further showed to wear gowns and gloves while performing the following high-contact tasks associated with the greatest risk for MDRO contamination of staff hands, clothes, and the environment such as: - device care, for example, urinary catheter, feeding tube, tracheostomy, vascular catheter. - any care activity where close contact with he resident is expected to occur such as bathing, peri-care, assisting with toileting, changing incontinence briefs, respiratory care. - changing bed lines. Review of the facility P&P titled Surveillance for Infections revised 5/2024, showed the IP will conduct ongoing surveillance for healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and other epidemiologically significant infections that have substantial impact on potential resident outcome and that may require transmission-based precautions and other preventative interventions. The purpose of the surveillance of infections is to identify both individual cases and trends of epidemiologically significant organisms and HAIs, to guide appropriate interventions, and to prevent future infections. Infections that may be considered in surveillance include those with limited transmissibility in a healthcare environment; and/or limited prevention strategies. Infections that will be included in routine surveillance include those with pathogens associated with serious outbreaks. The P&P further showed nursing staff will monitor residents for sighs and symptoms that my suggest infection, according to current criteria and definitions of infections, and will document and report suspected infections to the charge nurse as soon as possible. Moreover, the P&P showed the IP or designated infection control personnel is responsible for gathering and interpreting surveillance the data. Review of the facility's P&P titled Antibiotic Stewardship - Review and Surveillance of Antibiotic Use and Outcomes revised 5/2024, showed antibiotic usage and outcome data will be collected and documented using a facility-approved antibiotic surveillance tracking form. The data will be used to guide decisions for improvement of individual resident antibiotic prescribing practices and facility-wide antibiotic stewardship. All resident antibiotic regimens will be documented on the facility-approved antibiotic surveillance tracking form. The information gathered will include pathogen identified. 1.a.
