Resident #46 did not have a care plan for visual, urinary incontinence, pressure ulcer risk and psychotropic drug use.

F 0656 Policy interpretation and implementation Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 1. Triggered care areas are evaluated by the end disciplinary team to determine the underlying causes, potential consequences and relationships to other triggered care areas. Residents Affected - Some 2. The Care Area Assessments (CAAs) process consists of the following steps: a. Identify areas of concern triggered on the MDS: (1) This can be done using software or by manually using the CAT logic tables in the RAI User's Manual. b. Review the triggered CAA's by doing an in-depth, resident-specific assessment of the triggered condition. (1) History taking; (2) Physical assessment; (3) Gathering of relevant information (labs, test, etc); and (4) Sequencing of clinically significant events. c. Define the problem(s): (1) Identify the functional, physical, and or behavioral implications of the problem(s); (2) Identify the relationships between risk factors, triggers and problems; (3) Distinguish between causes and consequences; and (4) Look for common causes and consequences; and d. Make decisions about the care plan: (1) Determine whether the problem(s) need intervention; (2) Evaluate the resident's goals, wishes, strengths and needs; (3) Design intervention's goals, wishes, strengths and needs; (4) Establish which items need further assessment or additional review. e. Document interventions on the care plan: (1) Include specific interventions, including those that address common cause of multiple issues; and (2) Include recommendations for monitoring and follow-up timeframes. 675346 Page 10 of 11 675346 01/05/2023 Heritage Oaks Nursing and Rehabilitation Center 5301 University Ave Lubbock, TX 79413

Causes and contributing factors for the triggered care areas; i. Completion of section V of the MDS. Residents Affected - Some Record review the facility policy titled Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered with revision date 12/2020, revealed: Policy Statement 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 services provided or arranged by the facility, as outlined by the comprehensive care plan, are provided by qualified persons, are culturally competent and trauma informed. Policy Interpretation and Implementation 1. the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT), in conjunction with resident and his/her family or legal representative, develops and implements a comprehensive, person-centered care plan for each resident. 2. The care plan interventions are derived from a through analysis of the information gathered as part of the comprehensive assessment. 8. The comprehensive, person-centered care plan will; g. Incorporate identified problem areas; 9. Areas of concern that are identified during the resident assessment will be evaluated before interventions are added to the care plan. 675346 Page 11 of 11
