During an interview on 11/26/24 at 12:30 PM, the DON stated he did not believe Resident #1's fracture was
a reportable incident because they did not know when it happened, how it happened, or how long it had
been there. He stated the hospital, orthopedist, and MD could not confirm when it happened. He stated he
(Resident #1) had not had any recent falls at the facility. He stated he did not see it as an injury of unknown
origin but more so as an injury of unknown time. The ADM stated she had heard the fracture had not been
confirmed, but if she had known he had an actual fracture, she would have reported it to HHSC . The ADM
stated the importance was to ensure they were addressing his pain, care, and to ensure there had not been
any instances of abuse or neglect.
Review of the facility's Abuse Investigation and Reporting Policy, Revised July 2017, reflected the following:
All reports of resident abuse, neglect . injuries of unknown source (abuse) shall be promptly reported to
local, state, and federal agencies (as defined by current regulations) and thoroughly investigated by facility
management .
