(X4) ID PREFIX TAG SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES (Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0842 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few interventions, the wounds had not improved. The plan had been to send the resident back to the hospital where the surgical team would request a consult from the vascular team. She stated the resident went to the ED then was admitted to the hospital. She stated the MDS nurse monitored completion of assessments but no one monitored the progress notes. During a telephone interview on 10/30/24 at 4:03 PM, LVN A stated she was told EMS was scheduled to take the resident to the hospital so he could see the surgeon. She stated when EMS arrived, the resident was awake. I told him where he was going and told him I would call his family . She stated when a resident was sent out of the facility, the nurse was expected to write a note and complete an assessment. She stated, I didn't do it. She stated it was a busy time and she was going to go back later to complete the documentation but did not. She stated not documenting could lead to a lack of communication, not knowing the baseline or if changes occurred. During a telephone interview on 10/30/24 at 4:12 PM, LVN B stated she had contacted the surgeon about the wounds not improving and the surgeon said to send him to the ER. She stated EMS showed up but before they got to the resident, they received an emergent call so they left stating they should be back around 7 or 8:00 PM. She stated she left the facility around 7:30 PM and EMS had not yet returned. She stated she could not remember if she documented the conversation with the surgeon. She stated, I know I should have written a note, usually I do. She stated when a resident was sent out to the hospital, the nurse was expected to complete a transfer note. She stated the nurses were expected to document changes in the resident's condition. During an interview on 10/30/24 at 4:30 PM, the DON stated it was her expectation that documentation was completed accurately and timely. She expected the documentation to depict a good view of the resident. She stated not documenting in the resident's medical record could lead to staff not knowing if the resident had a change, was declining, or improving. The lack of communication or documentation could lead to a delay in care. During an interview on 10/30/24 at 4:37 PM, the ADM stated he expected accurate documentation and timely. He stated, When time is of the essence and trying to get someone transferred out, there is the human error aspect. He stated the nurses were aware of the documentation expectations. He stated delay of care would be the biggest negative outcome of not documenting in the resident's medical record. Review of the facility policy revised July 2017 and titled, Charting and Documentation reflected in part, All services provided to the resident, progress toward the care plan goals, or any changes in the resident's medical, physical, functional or psychosocial condition, shall be documented in the resident's medical record.

The following information is to be documented in the resident medical record: a. Objective observations: d. Changes in the resident's condition: e. Events, incidents or accidents involving the resident. FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675406 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 2
