Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being admitted **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop a baseline care plan for each resident that includes the instructions needed to provide effective and person-centered care of the resident that meet professional standards of quality care that was developed within 48 hours of a resident's admission for one ( Resident #2) of three residents reviewed for baseline care plans. The facility failed to ensure Resident #2's baseline care plan was specific to the Resident #2 and contained specific instructions needed to provide effective care. This failure placed newly admitted residents at risk of not being informed of their initial goals and services, not receiving continuity of care and communication among nursing home staff, decreased resident safety and safeguard against adverse events that are most likely to occur right after admission.
Findings included: Review of Resident #2's undated electronic admission Record revealed the resident was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility 07/03/224 with diagnoses to include but not limited to dementia (impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities) and hyperlipidemia (an elevated level of lipids) Review of the baseline care plan dated 07/04/2024 revealed the template for the base line care plan was printed. However, it did not contain any details specific to Resident #2's needs. An interview on 07/08/2024 at 4:50 PM with the Assistant Director of Nursing revealed he completed the template for the baseline care plan. However the MDS coordinator was responsible for completing the full comprehensive assessment which would then update the care plan. He stated he did not feel there was a risk due to staff having orders that were available to staff. Interview on 07/08/2024 at 5:06 PM with the Director of Nursing revealed the care plan was going to be updated that day following the care plan conference. However the resident's family decided to discharge the resident following the care plan meeting. The Director of Nursing stated she did not feel there was a risk to the resident due to staff having access to admission orders in point of care (a system for documenting care) Interview on 07/08/2024 at 5:30PM with the Administrator revealed the baseline care plan template was meant to guide staff on completing the care plan.
