Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm In a follow up interview with the Social Worker on 01/08/25 at 01:16 p.m. she stated she had reached out to the dental provider and found out Resident #13 had been seen in November 2024 for a teeth cleaning and again in December 2024 for X Rays.

Residents Affected - Some In an interview on 01/08/25 at 01:30 p.m. with the Dental provider Representative she stated the facility had sent them a referral in April 2024. She stated they saw Resident #13 in May 2024 and evaluated her for a new partial. She stated the resident was pending Medicaid. She stated they reached out to the resident and family and gave them the option of paying or waiting until the resident was approved for Medicaid. She stated they found out in August 2024 the resident had been approved for Medicaid. She stated they sent the facility the form 1263 B around the third week of October 2024, for the physician to complete and they got that back from the facility around the first of November 2024. She stated she was not sure why it took her company so long to send the facility the form they needed. She stated it was not common for it take as long as had taken for this resident. She stated once they got the completed form back from the facility physician, they saw the resident in November for teeth cleaning and again in December for X-rays. She stated they do that to ensure they were attaching her partial to strong healthy teeth. She stated she should be getting her partial by the end of the month. In a follow interview with the Administrator on 01/08/25 at 02:09 p.m. he stated his expectation was the Social Worker should be documenting the progress of any dental procedures and the timeline of completion of care. He stated they did not have a good system in place to track the process at this time. He stated the facility would approve any necessary dental and pay even if it was not covered by Medicaid. He stated dental care should be in the care plan so they everyone had a clear picture of where the process was for the residents and what necessary intervention needed to be in place to ensure any dental needs were met timely. He stated they had checked to see why the documentation from the dental provider was not uploaded into the electronic record and discovered the dental provider had the wrong E-mail address for their medical records. He stated that had been corrected and they were now receiving the documentation from the dental provider which would help them stay on track on the process and assist in timely interventions and communication amongst the staff. He stated going forward this would be a part of the care planning process. In an interview with MDS B on 01/08/25 at 02:40 p.m. she stated she was responsible for the long-term care plans. She stated they interview staff and the progress notes for any updates that need to be included into the care plan. She stated any dental procedure should be care planned, because often it required an adjustment to the resident's medication orders. She stated the Social Worker had not communicated any dental procedures. She stated she had not seen anything in the clinical record about any dental procedures for Resident #94 or Resident #13. She stated the care plan was the guide for all the care needs for the resident, so everyone involved in the resident's care were aware of the client's needs and the interventions put into place. She stated not having a comprehensive care plan in place could delay necessary care and not alert them to when additional interventions needed to put into place.

F 0880 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few enhanced barrier precautions. She stated she did not realize she had touched the peritoneal catheter with dirty gloves and stated that would have cross contaminated the catheter. In an interview on 01/07/25 at 11:55 a.m. with the DON she stated a sign should be outside of the door of any resident who required enhanced barrier precautions and the required supplies of gloves and gowns should be available. She stated Nurse management and Charge nurses were responsible for ensuring Residents who had significant wound, central lines, catheter, and G-tubes were in enhanced barrier precautions. She stated she did not consider the peritoneal dialysis catheter, or her dialysis access site would require enhanced barrier precautions, since they were not accessing those sites. She stated the Peritoneal catheter was not in use but stated she had only been with the facility for a few weeks and would have to check the policies to determine if the resident should be in enhanced barrier precautions. She stated when the CNA touched the peritoneal catheter with dirty gloves, she had cross contaminated it. She stated the catheter should be secured and she was on her way to secure the catheter. In an interview on 01/08/25 at 04:30 p.m. with the Corporate Nurse she stated any resident with an indwelling medical device should be placed in Enhanced Barrier Precautions. She stated even though the peritoneal dialysis catheter was not in use it was still indwelling which would quality for Enhanced Barrier Precautions. She stated dialysis fistula alone would not put them in isolation, but if a resident had a central hemodialysis line, which Resident # 2 had, then that would also require them to be in Enhanced Barrier Precautions. She stated they had reviewed all the residents in the facility and made sure signage was posted and supplies were in the rooms for those residents who required Enhanced Barrier Precautions and would be doing further training and education to the staff.

He stated Enhanced Barrier Precautions were new to the facility and they were still learning. He stated he knew residents with catheters, G-tubes, central lines, and wounds had to be in enhanced barrier precautions, but it just did not register that this resident needed it.
