Problem: The resident has (SPECIFY: Condom/Intermittent/Indwelling Suprapubic) Catheter. Review of the physician's order summary for Resident #203 pulled from the EMR on 08/22/24 at 12:55 PM reflected no orders related to an indwelling catheter. Observation on 08/22/24 at 10:02 AM revealed Resident #203 had a foley catheter tube emerging from his penis and connected to a plastic bag partially filled with yellow liquid. He did not respond to any efforts to converse with him. During an interview on 08/22/24 at 01:05 PM, LVN D stated she had been the nurse on duty when Resident #203 was admitted to the facility and had entered his orders and processed his admission paperwork on 08/15/24. She stated she knew Resident #203 had a catheter, and if he did not have orders for the catheter entered into the MAR, it was probably because she had made a mistake. She stated, as the admitting nurse, entering the orders for Resident #203 had been her responsibility. LVN D stated it was important to have orders related to catheters because a lack of orders in the system could cause new staff not to know he had a catheter. She stated if the catheter was not monitored for placement, patency, and quality of the urine. During an interview on 08/22/24 at 02:34 PM, the DON stated when a new resident admitted , the admitting nurse should have entered orders right then and there. She stated the orders should have been entered immediately, and if they were not, the team looked at the admission the next day in morning meeting and caught the omission. The DON stated she did not know why the missing catheter orders for Resident #203 were not caught in the morning meeting. She stated there had been no negative impact, because she had assessed him when they learned the orders had not been entered, and his urine was clear and yellow, not cloudy or tinged, and placement of the catheter was good. The DON stated the admitting nurse was responsible for entering the orders, and she and her ADONs were responsible for following up to ensure it was done. During an interview on 08/22/24 at 03:15 PM, the ADM stated there needed to be orders related to a resident's catheter. He stated it was the responsibility of the charge nurse for the resident and nurse management to ensure those orders were in place. He stated a resident could have negative outcomes without catheter orders, but he did not elaborate. A policy on catheters was requested from the ADM on 08/22/24 at 03:34 PM but not provided by the time of exit.

He stated he had arrived at the facility at 06:00 PM the night before, on 08/19/24, and he did not understand why there was not communication between the hospital and the nursing facility to ensure he got his night medications. He stated the sleep medication was the only medication he took at night. He stated he did not sleep well after not receiving his medication, but he was not in very much distress about it. During an interview on 08/22/24 at 12:04 PM, LVN E stated she had admitted Resident #206 on the night of 08/19/24. She stated when she had an admission in the evening, she first did everything on her hall for her residents before she sat down and did the admission in the computer. She stated she finished all her work the night of Resident #206's admission and then sat down and began entering his information into the computer, including orders. She stated when she finished the admission, she went to visit him and offered him a temazepam from the emergency kit. She stated she did that because she saw he had a nighttime medication and the aides said he had been asking the aides for it. She stated he declined the medication from the emergency kit and said he would start the medication the following day. She stated it was 01:00 AM or 02:00 AM at that point. LVN E stated she had not documented anywhere that it was that late in the night, but she agreed it might be too late for someone to feel comfortable taking a sleeping medication.

During an interview on 08/22/24 at 12:54 PM, the MR stated she was responsible for uploading documents to the EMR and had uploaded the two hospital documents for Resident #417 into the wrong clinical records. She stated she was not sure why the documents were filed incorrectly, but it might have been because they were sent to other departments to view, sent back to her, and were stacked with a different resident. She stated a potential impact of the document being uploaded in the wrong record was a provider who was looking might also have missed the name and thought they were looking at clinical information about the patient they were treating and give them the wrong care, or it could have been a violation of HIPAA. During an interview on 08/22/24 03:15 PM, the ADM stated he had determined there were three aspects of the same clinical records issue. He stated with Resident #8, the BOM had been assisting the family with getting him on Medicaid, and the MPOA document that was provided by the MPOA was the one that was uploaded and sent to Medicaid. The ADM stated Medicaid was approved, so the person who reviewed the Medicaid application obviously did not check closely the MPOA, either. He stated in that situation, the BOM was responsible for uploading the correct, legal document in the chart. The ADM stated the issue with Resident #217's documents being placed in the wrong clinical records was because of the high number of admissions they had at the facility, as they admitted and discharged many short-term skilled residents each week. He stated the stacks of information coming from all the disciplines were so many documents, that the MR simply misfiled a couple. Related to the issue of Resident #206 not having his code status clearly printed in his chart at the top of his profile information, he stated that was because there was a drop-down menu nurses had to use to enter a code status after they entered orders, and the admitting nurse must have forgotten. He stated the oversight could have resulted in Resident #206 not receiving emergency treatment as quickly as possible as the staff would have to dig into the record to find the information. He stated the records being filed under the wrong resident chart could have had the impact of violating HIPAA or of clinicians not getting the correct clinical information about the patient they were looking up. He stated a potential impact of a resident not having a legal MPOA was that it could have been a rights violation if the person claiming MPOA did not have a full and legal designation. He stated a potential impact of not having a legal OOH-DNR in the clinical record was the resident might not have had her wishes observed. He stated the SW should have been responsible for checking the legal documents and ensuring they were available, and the MR was responsible for ensuring they went into the correct chart. He stated the nurses and nurse management were responsible for ensuring the code status was entered into the EMR profile.
