F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few In an observation and attempted interview on 6/25/24 at 11:28 a.m., Resident #20 was lying on a couch in the common area, groomed, and not in distress. She did not respond to this Surveyor's greeting. Interview on 6/27/24 at 11:00 a.m., the ADON said the wound care nurse normally conducted the weekly skin assessments, but she stopped working at the facility one month ago. She said she and the charge nurses currently did the skin assessments and used a computer-generated list to know which residents to assess on the assigned day. She said she was unsure how Resident #20 fell off the list. She said CNAs conducted a daily skin check during showers and would report any issues to the nurse. She said nurses were trained to do the detailed head to toe skin assessment to ensure no skin deviations for the residents. She said she did monitor to ensure nurses completed the weekly skin assessments but because Resident #20 was not on the list, she was unable to verify that it was done in the system. She said she never had any concerns with Resident #20's skin. Interview on 6/27/24 at 12:02 p.m., the DON said there was a glitch in the computer system. He said all other residents were on the skin assessment list. He said the purpose of the weekly skin assessment, conducted by the nurse, was to check the whole body and ensure the skin was intact and nothing was missed. He said nurses did skin assessments according to facility's protocol. He said daily skin checks were done by CNAs who would report any skin changes. Interview on 6/27/24 at 1:46 p.m., the Regional Administrator said he would submit a ticket through the IT department to see when Residents #20 fell off the weekly skin assessment schedule generated by the system. He said he expected skin assessments to be done as planned and according to schedule. He said the purpose of the weekly skin assessment, conducted by the nurse, was to check for skin tears, injuries, and for the health and care of the resident. He said CNAs were trained to report anything seen to the nurse for a more thorough inspection. Interview on 6/27/24 at 2:40 p.m., the DON said he did not realize there was a glitch in the system. He said the ADON was responsible for reviewing the weekly skin audits and would refer any concerns to him. He said no concerns were identified. He said if nurse skin assessments were not done the residents could end up with unknown skin issues. Record review of the facility's undated Skin Program, Pressure Ulcers & Other Wounds policy read in part, .Prevention, Treatment, & Documentation .
