F 0727 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Have a registered nurse on duty 8 hours a day; and select a registered nurse to be the director of nurses on a full time basis. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to use the services of a RN for at least 8 consecutive hours a day, 7 days a week for 1 of 1 facility reviewed for RN coverage (January 2023, February 2023, and March 2023). The facility did not have the required 8 consecutive hours of RN coverage during the months of January 2023 (4 days), February 2023 (3 days), and March 2023 (1 days). This failure could place residents at risk for not having their nursing care and medical needs met. Findings included: Review of PBJ [Payroll Based Journal] Staffing Data Report, with a run date of 08/04/2023 revealed No RN Hours was triggered for the fiscal year Quarter 2 2023 (January 1 - March 31). The infraction dates were 01/08 (SU); 01/15 (SU); 01/21 (SA); 01/22 (SU); 02/04 (SA); 02/05 (SU); 02/12 (SU); 03/11 (SA); 03/18 (SA). Record review of the January 2023 time sheets indicated no RN worked on Sunday 01/08/23, Sunday 01/15/2023, Saturday 01/21/2023, and Sunday 01/22/2023. Record review of the February 2023 time sheets indicated no RN worked on Saturday 02/04/2023, Sunday 02/05/2023, and Sunday 02/12/2023. Record review of the March 2023 time sheets indicated no RN worked on Saturday 03/11/2023. In an interview on 8/10/23 at 1:50 PM, the ADON stated that the facility had requested agency RN coverage for all the days listed on the PBJ report. She stated that the days listed on the report were all due to last minute call ins and because they were such a rural facility, getting someone to cover the shifts was very difficult. The ADON stated that the facility used multiple staffing agencies from surrounding cities, and they were not able to get anyone last minute for those shifts. She stated the facility did not have a policy to address the time frame for calling in, and that employees were instructed to call in in a timely manner so that management could try to cover the shift. The ADON stated that the facility had four RNs on staff and was using agency RNs for weekend coverage to avoid having any gaps in coverage like what they experienced in January, February, and March. She stated there have been no staffing issues since March 2023. In an interview on 8/10/23 at 2:15 PM, the DON stated that on the dates listed on the PBJ report (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility.

F 0727 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few for no RN coverage, the facility was unable to get coverage from any of their contracted staffing agencies. She stated that the facility used 4 staffing agencies routinely, but they had contracts with 11. She stated that some of the agency contracts were only for long-term staffing, so they were not contacted. She stated the agencies that were for short-term contracts did not have anyone available to send to fill the shifts. The DON stated all shifts listed on the PBJ report for no RN coverage were last minute call-ins. She stated the call-ins in January were due to family deaths and were unavoidable. She stated the facility only had 2 RNs on staff in January 2023, and 1 full time RN and 1 PRN RN in February 2023 and March 2023. At the time of survey, there were 4 staff RNs (including the DON) and the rest are agency. The DON stated the facility had been advertising for RN positions but because of the rural location of the facility there were a limited number of applicants. The DON stated the facility had a staff satisfaction PIP in place to help with RN retention and that she had petitioned the facility's board of directors for salary increases to help bring in more applicants. She stated there had been no staffing issues since March. In an interview on 8/10/23 at 3:20 PM, the Administrator stated that the two RNs scheduled to work in January were aunt and niece and they had deaths in the family so the call-ins were related. The facility tried to have all shifts covered but, on those occasions, they were not able to find anyone through the agencies they contracted with. She stated that from January 2023 through March 2023, they did not have any other RNs employed at the facility. She stated the facility had a long stretch where they were advertising for RN positions with no applicants. The Administrator stated that due to the rural location of the facility it was difficult for them to find staff. She stated that currently, they had several RNs on staff and agency RNs available and the DON and ADON were aware of the need to have RN coverage every day. She stated RN coverage had not been an issue since March 2023.
