This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to report to the state agency (Department of Public Health) an injury of unknown origin that resulted in a fracture (broken bone) of the fourth proximal phalanx (ring finger) for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1). This deficient practice resulted in a delay of an onsite inspection by the Department of Public Health to ensure the residents' injury of unknown origin was investigated and could lead to a delay in prevention of further injuries to other residents. Findings: A review of the Admission Record indicated Resident 1 was originally admitted to the facility, on 7/22/18 and readmitted on 10/14/19, with diagnoses including pressure ulcer of sacral region (injury to the skin on the tailbone due to prolong pressure). A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS- a standardized assessment and screening tool), dated 9/6/19, indicated Resident 1 had severely impaired cognitive skills (mental process of thinking and understanding) for daily decision making.

A review of Resident 1's x-ray of the left hand, dated 10/1/19, indicated there was an acute (recent) fracture at the base (bottom) of the fourth proximal phalanx (the bones that are found at the bottom of the finger). A review of the fax from State Agency 2, dated 10/11/19, indicated Stage Agency 1 was informed of an allegation of possible neglect of Resident 1. During an interview, on 12/9/19 at 9:33 a.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 stated that Resident 1 was transferred out to the General Acute Care Facility (GACH), on 10/2/19, due to a fracture of the finger. LVN 1 stated that prior to the transfer, he had noted swelling on Resident 1's arm, and informed the physician, who ordered for X-ray (imaging to view the bone and other body structures). LVN 1 stated that it was discovered that the resident had sustained a fracture and was sent to the GACH for further evaluation. During an interview, on 12/9/19 at 1:07 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated and confirmed the fracture of Resident 1's fourth proximal phalanx on the left hand was an injury of unknown origin.
