Residents Affected - Some
Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room,
etc.) that affect the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record reviews the facility failed to immediately inform the physician and/or
resident/responsible party when there was a need to alter treatment significantly (that is, a need to
discontinue an existing form of treatment due to adverse consequences, or to commence a new form of
treatment) for one (Resident #1) of five residents reviewed for physician notification of changes.
1.The facility failed to notify the physician of Resident #1's wounds when she was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
2.The facility did not consult with Resident #1's physician to reconcile Resident #1's hospital discharge
wound treatment orders for specific wound care instructions upon admission on [DATE].
3.The facility failed to notify the physician upon the discovery of Resident #1's worsening wound on
12/24/23.
An immediate jeopardy was identified on 04/09/24. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at
3:15 PM. While the IJ was removed on 04/11/24 at 5:15 PM, the facility remained out of compliance at a
scope of pattern with a severity of no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not
immediate jeopardy due to the facility's need to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective
systems.
This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving appropriate and timely medical interventions which
could result in a decline in resident's condition, the need for hospitalization, or death.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's admission record dated 12/16/23 revealed a [AGE] year-old female that
was admitted /readmitted to the facility on [DATE] and discharged home on [DATE]. Diagnoses included
displaced intertrochanteric fracture of the right femur (fracture of the right thigh bone), left rib fractures due
to fall at home, other abnormalities of gait and mobility, muscle wasting and atrophy- multiple sites, history
of falling, spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication (leg pain, heaviness, and/or weakness when
walking), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and mild protein-calorie malnutrition. Resident #1 lived
alone, had fallen at home on a Tuesday, and remained on the floor until Saturday, 4 days later, when she
was able to drag herself to another room to reach a phone to call for help.

Record review of Resident #1's Comprehensive MDS dated [DATE] revealed resident had a BIMS score of
15, which indicated she was cognitively intact.
Record review of Resident #1's hospital discharge orders dated 12/15/23 revealed an order for dressing
changes to wounds on Resident #1's left elbow, left hip, left knee, and left foot to be done daily or as
needed if soiled and steri-strips (thin adhesive bandages used to close the surgical incision after staples
are removed) to right hip to remain in place.
Record review of Resident#1's Admission/ readmission nurse's notes- head to toe skin assessment dated
[DATE] at 03:43 PM and signed by LVN A, indicated resident had non pressure skin impairments of skin
tear(s) and an incision/ surgical wound. The nurse's notes also indicated a pressure injury on Resident #1's
coccyx (tailbone). Comments were Stage 1 to coccyx. Skin tears to bilateral upper extremities (both arms),
left hip, left knee, and left foot 5th digit.
In a phone interview on 04/03/24 at 01:43 PM, Resident #1's FM stated Resident #1 fell at home, broke her
leg, was on the floor for at least 4 days, and had to drag herself from one room to another to get her phone
to call for help. FM stated the hospital put a clear dressing on Resident #1's left outer knee wound on
12/16/23 at 5:00 AM. FM stated she arrived to the facility on [DATE] and found the same dressing was still
on the wound with the same date of 12/16/23 5:00 AM marked on the dressing. FM stated that when she
brought it to the attention of the nurse, she was told that it was just a skin tear. FM stated she informed the
nurse that the wound had green pus under the dressing. FM stated that she had the facility contact the
DON for her and once she spoke to the DON, the nurse came in a few minutes later to change the
dressing. FM stated when the dressing was taken off, the wound looked nasty and almost necrotic and it
was absolutely disgusting and that she took a picture of it.
In an interview on 04/05/24 at 12:30 PM, LVN A stated that when she got report on Resident #1 from the
hospital, they did not tell her anything about any wounds. When asked about the wound to Resident #1's
left knee, LVN A stated she documented it as a skin tear. LVN A stated she did not take the dressing off the
wound and that she did not know exactly what it looked like. LVN A stated that she did not want to remove
the dressing because she did not want to aggravate the skin tear. When asked about the admission order
process, LVN A stated she would read the hospital discharge orders, put the orders into the nursing facility
system and contact the provider to verify the orders and accept the admission into the system. LVN A
stated that she would contact the provider before doing an assessment and if she had found anything
unexpected or unusual, she would call the provider back to let them know about it. When asked about the
wounds to Resident #1's left side, LVN A stated she did not contact the provider because they do not
usually call them about skin tears. LVN A was shown a photo of Resident #1's left knee dressing that was
taken on 12/24/23 before it was removed. LVN A described it as a transparent dressing on a person's leg
with some kind of absorbable material under it, but that she could not describe the wound because she
could not see it underneath the dressing. LVN A stated that she attempted to contact the on-call physician
and it must not have been documented because she was waiting on a call back that she never received.
LVN A did not state whether she told the next shift that she was waiting on a call back from the physician.
In a phone interview on 04/08/24 at 10:50 AM, LVN B stated she was not aware of Resident #1's wounds
until a family member called her into the room and told her about it on 12/24/23. LVN B stated the family
member had the dressing in their hand and the dressing appeared soiled. LVN B stated the wound had
slough and brownish/greenish drainage that could have indicated infection. LVN B stated she attempted to
contact the physician but did not receive a call back. She did work the next day and stated she does not
recall attempting to follow up with the physician about the wound. LVN B stated she

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered
care plan for each resident that included measurable objectives and time frames to meet a resident's
medical, nursing, mental, and psychosocial needs for one (Resident #1) of five residents reviewed for care
plans.
1. The facility failed to address and include objectives, goals, and interventions specific to Resident #1's
surgical and other wounds, oxygen therapy, fall risk, or pain that were present upon her admission on
[DATE].
2. The facility failed to immediately update Resident #1's care plan upon a change in condition, specifically
when Resident #1's wounds were found to be worse on 12/24/23.
This failure could place residents at increased risk of not having their individual needs met and decreased
quality of life.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's admission record dated 12/16/23 revealed a [AGE] year-old female that
was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included displaced intertrochanteric fracture of the right
femur (fracture of the right thigh bone), left rib fracture due to fall at home, other abnormalities of gait and
mobility, muscle wasting and atrophy- multiple sites, history of falling, spinal stenosis with neurogenic
claudication (leg pain, heaviness, and/or weakness when walking), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,
and mild protein-calorie malnutrition.
Record review of Resident #1's Comprehensive MDS dated [DATE] revealed resident had a BIMS score of
15, which indicated she was cognitively intact.
Record review of Resident #1's hospital discharge orders dated 12/15/23 revealed an order for dressing
changes to wounds on Resident #1's left elbow, left hip, left knee, and left foot to be done daily or as
needed if soiled and steri-strips (thin adhesive bandages used to close the surgical incision after staples
are removed) to right hip to remain in place.
Record review of Resident #1's Admission/ readmission nurse's notes dated 12/16/23 at 03:43 PM and
signed by LVN A revealed Resident #1 had a clinical condition of respiratory disease/condition and the
respiratory assessment indicated Resident #1 was receiving oxygen therapy. Resident #1's head to toe skin
assessment indicated resident had non pressure skin impairments of skin tear(s) and an incision/ surgical
wound. The nurse's notes also indicated a pressure injury on Resident #1's coccyx (tailbone). Comments
were Stage 1 to coccyx. Skin tears to bilateral upper extremities (both arms), left hip, left knee, and left foot
5th digit. In the pain section, LVN A documented that Resident #1 had back and right hip pain that was
acute (experienced to a severe or intense degree) and frequent, described as aching, stabbing, and sharp
and relieved by medication and frequent position change. In the fall risk review section, LVN A documented
that Resident #1 had recent falls (one or more between 3 and 12 months ago). LVN A did not document
that Resident #1 had one or more falls in the previous 3 months, though the resident was admitted for a
fractured leg that occurred as a result from a fall at home one month prior. In the box marked check if the

Record review of Resident #1's admission care plan dated 12/16/23 and revised on 02/07/23 (after
discharge) revealed no focus or interventions for surgical site care and no focus or interventions for skin or
wound care. Resident #1's care plan also did not include focus or interventions for oxygen therapy, fall risk,
or pain. Resident #1's care plan had a focus of I have a self-care deficit r/t (DX). There was no diagnosis
listed. The goals and interventions for the self-care deficit were appropriate. The next focus listed on
Resident #1's care plan was I am allergic to Chantix. The goal and interventions were appropriate. The third
and final focus on Resident #1's care plan, initiated on 01/02/24 by LVN A and revised on 02/07/24 by
RMDS after resident was discharged , was At risk for infection or recurrent/chronic infection r/t
compromised medical condition: There was no medical condition listed.
Residents Affected - Few
In an interview on 04/05/24 at 1:46 PM with MDS, she stated that initial care plans for new admissions were
created when the admitting nurse did the assessment and put things in there. MDS stated she would review
the clinical record, enter the diagnoses, and adjust the care plan. MDS stated the care plans were usually
updated right away if there was a change in condition. MDS explained that the purpose of a care plan was
to let everyone know what the resident's needs were based on all aspects of the resident; it was all
inclusive and was the totality of care that the resident needed and was specific to that individual. MDS
stated that if something didn't get care planned, it could result in a lack of appropriate care. MDS stated that
surgical and non- surgical wounds or any type of injuries should be care planned. MDS stated, in total, I'm
responsible for care plans, but I suppose it would be an IDT effort. MDS stated she could not recall exactly,
but she had been on vacation sometime in December (2023).
Record review of the facility's Care Plan Policy dated 02/017, revised 03/2022 stated in part:
The community develops a comprehensive care plan for each resident that includes measurable objectives
and timetables to meet a resident's medical, nursing, mental, and psychosocial needs that are identified in
the comprehensive assessment.
The comprehensive care plan:
-is developed within seven days of the completion of the comprehensive assessment;
-is prepared by the interdisciplinary team, including the attending physician, a registered nurse with
responsibility for the resident, and other appropriate team members in disciplines as determined by the
resident's needs.
The care plan reflects intermediate steps for each outcome objective if they will enhance the resident's
ability to meet his or her objectives. Team members use these objectives to monitor resident progress.
Record review of the facility's Changes in Resident Condition Policy dated 05/2017, revised 01/2023, stated
in part:
Changes in the resident status that affect the problem(s)/goal(s) or approach(s) on his/her care plan should
be documented as revisions and communicated to the interdisciplinary caregivers.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure that residents received treatment and care in
accordance with professional standards of practice and the comprehensive person-centered care plan for
one (Resident #1) of five residents reviewed for quality of care.
Residents Affected - Some
1. Upon admission on [DATE] at 03:43 PM, the facility failed to perform a thorough, comprehensive head to
toe assessment and correctly identify, describe, and document the multiple wounds of Resident #1.
2. Provide Resident #1 with wound care to her wounds as indicated in her hospital discharge orders on
12/16/23. Resident #1 did not receive wound care orders until 11 days later on 12/27/23.
3. The facility did not consult with Resident #1's physician to reconcile Resident #1's hospital discharge
wound treatment orders for specific wound care instructions upon admission on [DATE].
4. The facility failed to perform and document consistent accurate and detailed assessments of Resident
#1's wounds to present accurate wound progress and ensure appropriate treatment was developed.
5. The facility failed to address and include objectives, goals, and interventions specific to Resident #1's
surgical and other wounds, oxygen therapy, fall risk, or pain that were present upon her admission on
[DATE].
6. The facility failed to immediately update Resident #1's care plan upon a change in condition, specifically
when Resident #1's wounds were found to be worse on 12/24/23.
An immediate jeopardy was identified on 04/09/24. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at
3:15 PM. While the IJ was removed on 04/11/24 at 5:15 PM, the facility remained out of compliance at a
scope of pattern with a severity of no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not
immediate jeopardy due to the facility's need to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective
systems.
This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving appropriate and timely medical interventions which
could result in a decline in resident's condition, the need for hospitalization, or death.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's admission record dated 12/16/23 revealed a [AGE] year-old female that
was admitted /readmitted to the facility on [DATE] and discharged home on [DATE]. Diagnoses included
displaced intertrochanteric fracture of the right femur (fracture of the right thigh bone), left rib fractures due
to fall at home, other abnormalities of gait and mobility, muscle wasting and atrophy- multiple sites, history
of falling, spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication (leg pain, heaviness, and/or weakness when
walking), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and mild protein-calorie malnutrition. Resident #1 lived
alone, had fallen at home on a Tuesday, and remained on the floor until Saturday, 4 days later, when she
was able to drag herself to another room to reach a phone to call for help.

with home care on 1/20/24 . Cleanse area to left outer knee with ns. pat dry with gauze. Apply Santyl (used
to remove damaged tissue) to wound bed and cover with dry dressing daily. Cleanse left hip area with ns
and pat dry with gauze. Apply skin prep and cover with dry dressing every other day.
In a telephone interview on 04/03/24 at 01:43pm, Resident #1's FM stated Resident #1 fell at home, broke
her leg, was on the floor for at least 4 days, and had to drag herself from one room to another to get her
phone to call for help. FM stated the hospital put a clear dressing on Resident #1's left outer knee wound on
12/16/23 at 5:00 AM. FM stated she arrived to the facility on [DATE] and found the same dressing was still
on the wound with the same date of 12/16/23 5:00 AM marked on the dressing. FM stated that when she
brought it to the attention of the nurse, she was told that it was just a skin tear. FM stated she informed the
nurse that the wound had green pus under the dressing. FM stated that she had the facility contact the
DON for her and once she spoke to the DON, the nurse came in a few minutes later to change the
dressing. FM stated when the dressing was taken off, the wound looked nasty and almost necrotic and it
was absolutely disgusting and that she took a picture of it.
In an interview on 04/05/24 at 12:00 PM, CNA A stated that she had seen the dressing on Resident #1's
left knee but could not recall exactly when she saw it. CNA A stated that one of the nurses patched it up
and did something to it, but she really did not remember who or when. CNA A stated that the wound on
Resident #1's knee had a rotten smell when one of the nurses peeled back the clear dressing, put a gauze
over the wound and pulled the same clear dressing back over it.
In an interview on 04/05/24 at 12:30 PM, LVN A stated that when she got report on Resident #1 from the
hospital, they did not tell her anything about any wounds. When asked about the wound to Resident #1's
left knee, LVN A stated she documented it as a skin tear. LVN A stated she did not take the dressing off the
wound and that she did not know exactly what it looked like. LVN A stated that she did not want to remove
the dressing because she did not want to aggravate the skin tear. When asked about the admission order
process, LVN A stated she would read the hospital discharge orders, put the orders into the nursing facility
system and contact the provider to verify the orders and accept the admission into the system. LVN A
stated that she would contact the provider before doing an assessment and if she had found anything
unexpected or unusual, she would call the provider back to let them know about it. When asked about the
wounds to Resident #1's left side, LVN A stated she did not contact the provider because they do not
usually call them about skin tears. LVN A was shown a photo of Resident #1's left knee dressing that was
taken 12/24/23 before it was removed. LVN A described it as a transparent dressing on a person's leg with
some kind of absorbable material under it, but

that she could not describe the wound because she could not see it underneath the dressing. LVN A stated
that she attempted to contact the on-call physician and it must not have been documented because she
was waiting on a call back that she never received. LVN A did not state whether she told the next shift that
she was waiting on a call back from the physician.
In a phone interview on 04/08/24 at 10:50 AM, LVN B stated she was not aware of Resident #1's wounds
until a family member called her into the room and told her about it on 12/24/23. LVN B stated the family
member had the dressing in their hand and the dressing appeared soiled. LVN B stated the wound had
slough and brownish/greenish drainage that could have indicated infection. LVN B stated she attempted to
contact the physician but did not receive a call back. She did work the next day and stated she does not
recall attempting to follow up with the physician about the wound. LVN B stated she does not recall
documenting her attempt to contact the physician.
Resident #1's primary care physician was called but was unavailable and was expected to return
approximately 04/09/24.
In an interview on 04/05/24 at 03:36 PM, MD stated, I can't defend this. The nurse should have assessed
the resident, and the physician or nurse practitioner should have assessed the resident. The nurse should
have reviewed the hospital discharge orders and let the physician know about the wound care that was
indicated and the physician should have also reviewed the hospital discharge records to be sure that all the
orders were reconciled. MD stated he was initially contacted this morning (04/05/24) about this incident. MD
stated that if any wound is not assessed or treated, if needed, the resident could acquire an infection,
become septic requiring immediate care and hospitalization and/or death could occur.
In an interview with ADMIN and ADON on 04/05/24 at 06:37 PM, ADON stated the facility admitting
process was: after receiving the resident, review admitting orders, call physician to notify of resident's
admission and review and reconcile the admitting orders, assess resident - if any abnormal assessment
finding the nurse must notify the physician to retrieve and or modify orders as necessary.
When the ADON was shown a picture dated 12/24/23 of Resident #1's left knee wound she described it as,
It does not look like a skin tear at this point, it has maceration [prolonged or excessive exposure to moisture
that results in skin damage and softening] and slough [dead tissue] in the middle.
ADMIN stated they had already started their response plan this morning (04/05/24) and had educated all
the nurses that were at the facility about assessment and skin/ wound documentation and had educated all
of the aides that were at the facility about skin care, what to look for, and to report any wounds or skin
issues to the nurse immediately. ADMIN and ADON also stated that they had begun retraining on
contacting a provider and documentation of that. ADMIN stated that the facility would be doing education
and training with all the staff over the next several days as they came in.
Record review of the facility's policy on Skin and Wound Prevention Management dated 03/14/19, revised
January 2023, stated in part that each resident would receive the care and services necessary to retain or
regain optimal skin integrity. The guideline within the policy stated that a licensed nurse would document
the wound presentation or description of skin issues identified within the electronic health record, the
licensed nurse should communicate all newly identified skin concerns as well as the status of current
wounds or skin concerns to the attending medical provider then document the notifications and any orders
provided within the electronic health record. The licensed nurse will continue to monitor the status and
progress of the wound until resolved. Should the wound

deteriorate, the nurse should notify the provider and IDT of the change in condition and document the
wound assessment/evaluation findings, notifications, new orders, and additional interventions. The plan of
care should be reviewed and updated accordingly. The DNS/designee will review the skin and wound data
to the QAPI committee to identify compliance of system management, analyze for trends. The policy stated
that documentation for abnormal skin conditions should be documented within the electronic health record
and should include: 1. Type of injury/ulcer 2. Location, shape, ulcer edges, and wound bed 3.
Measurements of wound/skin injury 4. Condition of surrounding tissues 5. Determine the etiology of the
wound.
Record review of the facility's Care Plan Policy dated 02/2017, revised 03/2022 stated in part: The
community develops a comprehensive care plan for each resident that includes measurable objectives and
timetables to meet a resident's medical, nursing, mental, and psychosocial needs that are identified in the
comprehensive assessment.
The comprehensive care plan:
-is developed within seven days of the completion of the comprehensive assessment;
-is prepared by the interdisciplinary team, including the attending physician, a registered nurse with
responsibility for the resident, and other appropriate team members in disciplines as determined by the
resident's needs.
The care plan reflects intermediate steps for each outcome objective if they will enhance the resident's
ability to meet his or her objectives. Team members use these objectives to monitor resident progress.
The facility's policy on Changes in Resident Condition dated 05/2017 and reviewed/revised January 2023
stated in part: The resident, assigned medical provider, and resident representative or designated family
member should be notified when there is a significant change in the resident's physical, mental or
psychosocial status or a need to alter treatment significantly ( .a need to commence new treatment) and
changes in condition should be communicated from shift to shift in the 24-hour report management system.
The policy also stated changes in the resident status that affect the problem(s)/goal(s) or approach(s) on
his/her care plan should be documented as revisions and communicated to the interdisciplinary caregivers.
Documentation was to be done in the Nursing Progress Notes indicating date, time, and who was notified
(physician/resident representative), information communicated, and response and/or orders received.
This was determined to be an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on 04/09/2024 at 03:15 PM. The administrator was
notified. The Administrator was provided with the IJ template on 04/09/2024.

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered
care plan for each resident that included measurable objectives and time frames to meet a resident's
medical, nursing, mental, and psychosocial needs for one (Resident #1) of five residents reviewed for care
plans.
Residents Affected - Few
1. The facility failed to address and include objectives, goals, and interventions specific to Resident #1's
surgical and other wounds, oxygen therapy, fall risk, or pain that were present upon her admission on
[DATE].
2. The facility failed to immediately update Resident #1's care plan upon a change in condition, specifically
when Resident #1's wounds were found to be worse on 12/24/23.
This failure could place residents at increased risk of not having their individual needs met and decreased
quality of life.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's admission record dated 12/16/23 revealed a [AGE] year-old female that
was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included displaced intertrochanteric fracture of the right
femur (fracture of the right thigh bone), left rib fracture due to fall at home, other abnormalities of gait and
mobility, muscle wasting and atrophy- multiple sites, history of falling, spinal stenosis with neurogenic
claudication (leg pain, heaviness, and/or weakness when walking), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,
and mild protein-calorie malnutrition.
Record review of Resident #1's Comprehensive MDS dated [DATE] revealed resident had a BIMS score of
15, which indicated she was cognitively intact.
Record review of Resident #1's hospital discharge orders dated 12/15/23 revealed an order for dressing
changes to wounds on Resident #1's left elbow, left hip, left knee, and left foot to be done daily or as
needed if soiled and steri-strips (thin adhesive bandages used to close the surgical incision after staples
are removed) to right hip to remain in place.
Record review of Resident #1's Admission/ readmission nurse's notes dated 12/16/23 at 03:43 PM and
signed by LVN A revealed Resident #1 had a clinical condition of respiratory disease/condition and the
respiratory assessment indicated Resident #1 was receiving oxygen therapy. Resident #1's head to toe skin
assessment indicated resident had non pressure skin impairments of skin tear(s) and an incision/ surgical
wound. The nurse's notes also indicated a pressure injury on Resident #1's coccyx (tailbone). Comments
were Stage 1 to coccyx. Skin tears to bilateral upper extremities (both arms), left hip, left knee, and left foot
5th digit. In the pain section, LVN A documented that Resident #1 had back and right hip pain that was
acute (experienced to a severe or intense degree) and frequent, described as aching, stabbing, and sharp
and relieved by medication and frequent position change. In the fall risk review section, LVN A documented
that Resident #1 had recent falls (one or more between 3 and 12 months ago). LVN A did not document
that Resident #1 had one or more falls in the previous 3 months, though the resident was admitted for a
fractured leg that occurred as a result from a fall at home one month prior. In the box marked check if the
resident is a high risk for falls, the box was checked.

compromised medical condition: There was no medical condition listed.
In an interview on 04/05/24 at 1:46 PM with MDS, she stated that initial care plans for new admissions were
created when the admitting nurse did the assessment and put things in there. MDS stated she would review
the clinical record, enter the diagnoses, and adjust the care plan. MDS stated the care plans were usually
updated right away if there was a change in condition. MDS explained that the purpose of a care plan was
to let everyone know what the resident's needs were based on all aspects of the resident; it was all
inclusive and was the totality of care that the resident needed and was specific to that individual. MDS
stated that if something didn't get care planned, it could result in a lack of appropriate care. MDS stated that
surgical and non- surgical wounds or any type of injuries should be care planned. MDS stated, in total, I'm
responsible for care plans, but I suppose it would be an IDT effort. MDS stated she could not recall exactly,
but she had been on vacation sometime in December (2023).
Record review of the facility's Care Plan Policy dated 02/017, revised 03/2022 stated in part:
The community develops a comprehensive care plan for each resident that includes measurable objectives
and timetables to meet a resident's medical, nursing, mental, and psychosocial needs that are identified in
the comprehensive assessment.
The comprehensive care plan:
-is developed within seven days of the completion of the comprehensive assessment;
-is prepared by the interdisciplinary team, including the attending physician, a registered nurse with
responsibility for the resident, and other appropriate team members in disciplines as determined by the
resident's needs.
The care plan reflects intermediate steps for each outcome objective if they will enhance the resident's
ability to meet his or her objectives. Team members use these objectives to monitor resident progress.
Record review of the facility's Changes in Resident Condition Policy dated 05/2017, revised 01/2023, stated
in part:
Changes in the resident status that affect the problem(s)/goal(s) or approach(s) on his/her care plan should
be documented as revisions and communicated to the interdisciplinary caregivers.
