allegation do not involve abuse and do not
result in serious bodily injury, to the
administrator of the facility and to other officials
(including to the State Survey Agency and adult
protective services where state law provides for
jurisdiction in long-term care facilities) in
accordance with State law through established
procedures.
§483.12(c)(4) Report the results of all
investigations to the administrator or his or her
designated representative and to other officials
in accordance with State law, including to the
State Survey Agency, within 5 working days of
the incident, and if the alleged violation is
verified appropriate corrective action must be
taken.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to report a humerus (long bone in
the arm, that runs from the shoulder to the
elbow) fracture of unknown cause to the state
agency within 2 hours of receiving the X-Ray
results for one of one resident (Resident 1).
This deficient practice had the potential to
result in an unidentified abuse or crime and
failure to protect resident 1 from harm in the
facility.
Findings:
A review of the Admission Record, indicated
Resident 1 was admitted on 2/4/12 and readmitted on 6/13/20, with diagnoses including
Alzheimer's disease (A progressive disease
that destroys memory and other important
mental functions), hemiplegia (paralysis of one
side of the body) affecting the left side,

use and personal hygiene.
On 9/9/20 at 11:45 a.m., during an interview

on 6/11/20 at 12:21 a.m. indicated the resident
had a fracture of the humerus. RN 1 stated the
Director of Nursing (DON 1) was notified of
xray result on 6/11/20 at 12:43 a.m.
On 9/11/20 at 2:23 p.m. during an interview,

receiving the x-ray result for resident 1, the first
thing that needed to be ruled out was abuse.
Admin 1 stated that the fracture of unknown
origin for the resident was reported to state
agency on 6/11/20 at 3:25 p.m. and that it
should have been reported to state agency as
soon as possible or within 2 hours of identifying
the injury however was not done. Admin 1
