Level of Harm - Minimal harm

Residents Affected - Few
Observation and interview on 04/02/2024 at 11:11am with Resident #1 was on TBP for COVID, Resident #1
was lying in bed in a green night gown under her blankets. The left side of Resident #1's face was slightly
bruised with bruising in different stages of healing. Resident did have a laceration to the left side of her
forehead and was healing stages, no signs of infection present at site. Resident #1 was able to recall the
night that she fell. She stated that she was lying in bed watching a ball game and was close to the edge of
the bed. She stated that she went to push herself further back into the bed and just toppled right off the
side of the bed. Resident #1 stated that staff came quickly to assist her and sent her to the ER very quickly
since she hit her head and was bleeding a lot. No further concerns were voiced by Resident #1.
Interview on 04/02/2024 at 12:49pm DON was asked why Resident #1's fall assessments after her falls in
February and March indicated that the resident has had no falls in the last 3 months, when in fact she had.
DON stated that she would get the nurse's contact information that performed those evaluations for the
resident in question.
Interview on 04/02/2024 at 1:55pm LVN A stated that she just didn't recall that the resident had fallen in
January and that the assessment was made in error. LVN A stated that a negative outcome of not filling out
the assessment correctly would be that there just isn't the right documentation for it.
Interview on 04/02/2024 at 2:58pm LVN B stated that this was the first time in this building that she was
filling out the assessment. LVN B was asked what a negative outcome would be with not filling out the
assessment correctly. LVN B stated The next person that looked it up will have the incorrect information as
well.
Interview on 04/02/2024 at 4:31pm DON stated that a negative outcome to not having the correct
documentation on a fall risk evaluation is that the next team member to come in would not have accurate
information.
Record review of facility provided policy titled Electronic Health Record, dated 06/07/2023, revealed the
following:
The purpose of the E.H.R. is to provide a basis for planning resident care as well as documenting the
provision of such care and the outcomes relating to the evaluation, treatment, and changes in condition
noted. Indiscriminate use of addenda, amendments, corrections, or deletions must be avoided. All
reasonable attempts must be made by facility staff to assure documentation is accurate and complete prior
to signing and saving the entries in the E.H.R. This facility recognizes the requirements of clinical providers
to edit electronic health information in ta functional manner and protect the integrity of the E.H.R.
simultaneously. In order to accommodate the needed functions, it is essential to define some terms.
