Review of Resident #4's electronic notes revealed: Behavior note dated 2/12/24 at 10:08 a.m.: Resident putting his hands on other residents and causing the resident at risk for falling and being angry, which can lead into an altercation. Education has been given to the resident and family. ADON aware of the behavior. Behavior note dated 4/15/24 at 7:16 p.m.:Resident noted by this nurse going behind wheelchairs of other residents and shaking chairs making other residents upset. This nurse advised resident not to do so as others don't like it. Residents states he was just playing and I advised him to not play like that. Resident did it again after speaking with him about not doing it. Will continue to do it. No incident/accident reports were completed corresponding to the above dates. Interview on 6/20/24 at 10:20 a.m. the Administrator and ADON stated the facility tracked behavior by discussing it in the morning meeting. They stated nurses would document behaviors and it would show up on the 24-hour report and it would be discussed in the morning meeting and a plan of action would be determined. They stated if a pattern of behavior was identified, they would try to do in-services with the staff. They said the social worker would do safety interviews with staff and residents if there was any kind of behavior if the nurses had to intervene. The ADON said there was monitoring done for psychiatric medication and the nurses were good about filling out behavior notes on the secured units, but the independent unit needed reminding. The Administrator stated the facility was always getting new staff or the nurses would seem to forget. The ADON stated under a previous corporation, there was a behavior tracking book but there was nothing under the current corporation that would trend behaviors. The Administrator stated the corporation had hired a behavior consultant and all the department heads were supposed to become certified in addressing behaviors but at that time, all they had was the computer training program the corporation use. Interview on 6/20/24 at 6:12 p.m. the Administrator said the facility had QA meetings quarterly and behaviors were discussed. The Administrator said the facility discussed how many behaviors were going on in the building and how many residents were on medications.

The Administrator said she thought the Regional Compliance Nurse was supposed to check that the DON was ensuring those were completed but at the moment the corporation did not have one for the region. The Administrator said behaviors were also discussed in morning meetings and in care plan meetings. The Administrator stated the DON was out of the facility for a regional meeting and she had texted her for an answer on how the DON ensured Incident/accident reports were completed on behaviors.

The Administrator stated an incident/accident report was not completed for 2/12/24 when Resident #4 put his hands on other residents, while the Regional Director stated it was vague. Interview on 6/21/24 at 12:26 p.m. the Administrator stated the DON answered her text she said she was able to check through incident reports, progress notes, and behavior notes, that she (the DON) in-services and the nurses knew it (incident/accident reports) needed to be done and some incident/accident reports were still active and had not been closed out yet. The ADON added an incident note would trigger a behavior or fall note but a behavior or fall note would not trigger doing an incident/accident note. At 12:30 p.m. the Regional Corporate Director joined the conversation and stated the expectation was that the nurses completed an incident/accident report in the risk management section about what happened so it could be discussed in the morning meeting and the appropriate monitoring could be completed. The Regional Director stated the outcome to the resident if not done was the possibility of not having interventions and it was the DON's responsibility to see that it was completed. The Regional Director stated he attended QA meeting in person when he could and via the web when he could not because he was part of the governing body. The Regional Director said there was a section in the QA meetings that did address behaviors and incident/accident reports and there was a chart that would determine if there was trending done monthly. Review of the facility's in-services to nurses documented: 1/9/24 Email from ADON the Risk Management choice will be the same for most of you.

This plan will assist the facility to ensure that care and services delivered meet accepted standards of quality, identify problems and opportunities for improvement and ensure progress toward correction or improvement is achieved and sustained. Feedback, Data Systems and Monitoring
Residents Affected - Some The QAPI committee draws data from various sources to include the software program, standards of care meeting and performance improvement plan committees. Data is also drawn from facility systems that are tracked and trended per facility thresholds/benchmarks. All adverse events are investigated each time they occur, using action plan process and root cause analysis methods. The facility will identify and prioritize quality deficiencies and utilize all opportunities to identify areas with the potential for improving resident outcomes to include but not limited to: Standards of Care Meeting Daily QA meetings (Morning QA stand up meeting) Reportable incidents The facility will use the QA action plan as a method of documenting identification of concerns identified from the review of data at all weekly meetings (standards of care, Champion rounds etc.) and any other other time that an issue should present a potential negative outcome. Root cause will be used in determining why a situation occurred. Performance Improvement project areas will be developed through the action plan process, after gathering all information in a systematic manner to clarify issues and problems from the above areas. The action plan will be use to intervene in improving identified areas of concern. Systematic Analysis and Systematic Actions: Root cause analysis will be used to determine when in depth analysis is needed to fully understand a problem/event, it's causes, and implications of a change. The committee will review all involved systems to prevent future events and promote sustained improvement. The facility will focus on continued training, learning, and continuous improvement. All information submitted by the committee will be monitored and evaluated through the action plan approach as related to quality of resident care, safety and high-quality facility wide. The action plan and monitoring will be a means to identify how problems may be caused or exacerbated by the way care is organized or delivered. A means whereby all negative outcomes relative to resident care and services are identified and resolved using root cause analysis with an interdisciplinary approach.
