F689G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on observation, interviews and record review conducted during an abbreviated survey (NY 057), the facility failed to ensure that the resident environment remains as free from accident hazards as is possible, and each resident receives adequate supervision and assistance devices to prevent accidents. This was evident in 1 out of 3 residents sampled (Resident #1). Specifically, on 03/10/2021 at approximately 7:10 AM, Resident #1 fell from the Hoyer lift (a patient lift used to transfer patients) while Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #1 and CNA #2 were transferring the resident from bed to wheelchair. Resident #1 sustained non-displaced fractures of the left first and second ribs and a head wound on the scalp. CNA #1 and CNA #2 failed to ensure that the Hoyer lift sling was securely attached to the Hoyer lift. This resulted in actual harm to Resident #1 that is not Immediate Jeopardy and is Substandard Quality of Care. The findings are: Review of the facility's policy and procedure entitled Hoyer Lift, Safely Transferring Residents via Hoyer-Lift effective in 01/2015 and reviewed in 03/2021 documented: It is the policy of the facility that all residents on Hoyer-Lift must have a minimum of two-person transfer. Bed mobility with 2 assist and requires 2 staff to prepare and transfer the resident. CNA inspects necessary equipment is in good working condition (Hoyer lift and sling) and prepares resident for transfer. Attach sling to Hoyer Lift with two staff members and transfer the resident from bed to wheelchair safely. First staff operates/controls the Hoyer Lift, second staff secures the resident safely by guiding the mobility of the resident's transfer safely. Review of the facility's policy and procedure entitled Occurrence Investigation and Reporting last reviewed on 04/31/2020 documented: It is the policy of the facility to provide an environment that is free from accident hazards over which the facility has control as well as providing the supervision and assistive devices that an individual requires to prevent avoidable accidents as required under Federal Regulation. Occurrence investigation findings will be reviewed to identify additional preventative measures that an individual resident may require to prevent avoidable accidents and to identify any potential hazards in the resident's environment that need to be addressed. Resident #1 was initially admitted with diagnoses including Diabetes, Hypertension, [CONDITION(S)] and Dementia. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] documented a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 01/15 indicating severely impaired cognition. The MDS identified that Resident #1 was totally dependent with bed mobility and required 2 persons for bed mobility and transfers. A Briggs Fall Risk Evaluation dated 02/09/2021 documented that Resident #1 had a total score of 11 indicating high risk for falls (total score of 10 or greater - the resident should be considered at high risk for potential falls). A Portable Patient Lift Maintenance Log was reviewed and revealed that the Hoyer Lift (involved in accident) was last checked on 02/23/2021, and the front wheels were replaced on the Hoyer Lift prior to the incident. The log also revealed that the Hoyer Lift was checked on 03/16/2021, post incident, with no issues identified as per staff initial. A Resident Nursing Instructions dated from 03/01/2021 to 03/10/2021 for CNA use, documented that Resident #1 was totally dependent of two staff for bed mobility and transfers out of bed with mechanical Hoyer lift. A review of the Resident Nursing Instructions revealed there were no instructions for CNAs to check the sling to ensure that the sling was securely attached to the Hoyer lift before transferring the resident. There were no instructions for CNAs to inspect the equipment (Hoyer lift) to ensure good working condition. There was no documented evidence that resident was care planned for Hoyer lift transfer. A Facility Investigation Summary dated 03/15/2021 documented that on 03/10/2021 at approximately 7:11 AM, Resident #1 was observed laying on the floor at the side of the Hoyer sling. Resident #1 had bleeding from the posterior scalp, vital signs were stable. Resident #1 was transferred to the emergency room (ER) for evaluation and returned at 3:00 PM. ER records documented non-displaced fractures of the first and second ribs and superficial head wound to posterior scalp. Computed Tomography (CT) scan of the head and face negative. The assigned CNA (CNA #1) stated that they provided personal care to Resident #1 and prepared Resident #1 for transfer out of bed at approximately 7:00 AM. The Hoyer Lift was brought to the room at approximately 7:08 AM and CNA #2 entered the room at 7:10 AM. Code E (used for Emergency) was called at approximately 7:11 AM. The Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS) responded and observed Resident #1 lying on the Hoyer sling, the hooks on the sling were not connected to the Hoyer lift. The CNAs reported that Resident #1 slid from the side of the Hoyer Lift when the Hoyer was being pulled from underneath the bed. The investigation revealed that CNA #1 applied the slings alone and did not follow the facility's policy. Both CNAs did not check to see if the sling was securely attached to the Hoyer lift. Resident #1's care plan was violated and both CNAs were terminated. The facility concluded that there was reasonable cause to believe that abuse, neglect, or mistreatment occurred.
