A new policy was developed on [DATE] titled, Transferring Residents. This policy documented; Policy: To protect residents from injury and/or harm during transfers Procedure: 1. Upon admission all residents will be considered as requiring assistance of 2. 2. No later than a week after admission all residents will be identified as to the amount of assistance thy require for safe transfers 3. Individual ADL (activities of daily living) Care Plans will identify assistance needed and the amount of assistance they require 4. Each bed will have sticker that identifies amount of and number of staff required to safely transfer resident. It will identify how many staff needed, if Hoyer lift, sit to stand, pivot, airplaned, etc. 5. All staff will be instructed on new policy and all new hires will be informed prior to starting to work on the floor 6. Stickers will be updated as needed by MDS (minimum data set)/DON (director of nurses)/Designee 7. When transferring without equipment all staff will be required to use a gait belt when transferring or ambulating residents 8. No resident is to be transferred by lifting under the arms 9. If staff is caught not using gait belt or proper lifting more than 3 times it can be grounds for immediate termination 10. Any staff member who is caught not following proper transfers/lifting methods and a resident is injured in anyway will be terminated immediately and turned in to the Oklahoma Department of Health (Certification Board) At 11:38 a.m., an acceptable plan of removal was received. The facility's plan of removal documented: (Named facility and address) [DATE] PLAN OF REMOVAL CORRECTION How (Named facility) will ensure that all nursing staff know the policy and procedure to correctly transfer residents. How they can identify the correct amount of staff needed and how they transfer. All Nursing Staff, RN (registered nurse), LPN (licensed practical nurse), CMA(certified medication aide), CAN (sic) (certified nurse aide), not already checked off on Transfer Skills, will be checked off by 2pm today [DATE]. All current nursing personnel, RN, LPN, CMA, and CAN (sic), will be in-service by 2pm today [DATE] regarding the Transferring Residents Policy and Procedure revised [DATE]. In-services will be documented on In-Service Sheet with date time and how in-service was done. Any Nursing Staff who has not had a skilled check off completed and or been in-serviced will not be allowed to work until completed. All nursing employees will be required to sign form that they have been in-serviced. This form will be placed in their personnel file. On [DATE], nursing staff were in-serviced on the new transfer policy either in person or by phone. Staff, who had not completed a one-on-one return demonstration of safe transfers including lifts, were brought to the facility to do so at that time. At 2:30 p.m., CNAs, certified medication aides (CMAs), LPNs, and RNs were interviewed in regard to their knowledge of the in-service and the new transfer policy. Staff from all shifts verbalized understanding of the in-service including the use of transfer methods consistent with individualized care plans, proper techniques for transferring residents, the location of each resident's transfer care plan, and to whom they should speak regarding questions of transferring a resident. Stickers were observed above resident beds documenting how many staff were required to transfer a resident and type of transfer that was appropriate. Three CNAs were observed safely transferring residents from wheelchairs to bed and from bed to wheelchairs using proper technique. Four staff members, including one who was out of state, did not receive the new transfer policy in-service. These staff members were told by the facility they would not be allowed to work until they had been in-serviced on the new transfer policy. At 3:45 p.m., an addendum was received to the facility's plan of removal and accepted. The addendum documented the following: (Named facility and address) ADDENDUM PLAN OF REMOVAL [DATE] at 3:45 pm Have been un able to reach the following staff, RN, LPN, CNA to in-service on the new policy and procedure regarding Transferring of Residents.

On 10/17/13 at 11:10 a.m., an interview was conducted the the DON. She was asked how the staff knew how much assistance a resident required. She stated, "Its on the care plan and their day sheets." She was asked how the staff was made aware of residents who were at high risk for falls to ensure safety. She stated, "It's all on the care plan and daily care sheets." She was then asked if her staff had been inserviced on the use of gait/transfer belts. She stated, "I can't tell you the number of times we have been over this with them, its a constant daily reminder." The DON was informed of the above observation made by the surveyor with the staff member and resident #4. She made no direct comment, except to say "Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable." On 10/16/13 at 10:00 a.m., the DON was interviewed. She was asked if the resident wore a helmet. She stated, "No, he would not wear it."

At 4:00 p.m., CNA #7 was asked asked if she had been given special instructions about the resident's falls. She said that when he was up they were supposed to watch him. She was asked if the facility ever provided her with detailed information about how to prevent this resident's falls. She stated we have the ADL book. She was asked if the ADL book provided information about monitoring or walking the resident. She said she didn't think so. The CNA added he used to be able to walk really well but he had been kept in a wheelchair. He can still walk with assistance. At 4:30 p.m., CNA #6 was interviewed. She was shown the butterfly stickers on some of the resident's name plates and asked what they meant. She stated she thought they were for decorations. The resident did not have butterfly stickers on his name plate. She was asked what the colored dot stickers on the name plates meant. She stated they had never been explained to her. At 4:40 p.m., the DON was asked if the facility had a method of identifying residents who were at high risk for falls. She stated there was no identification system but she would inservice staff or give staff one on one instructions. She was asked if there was documentation of the inservices or one on one instructions. She stated she wasn't sure. On 10/17/13 at 10:00 a.m., the resident's ADL book was reviewed. It contained no documentation about frequent visual checks, monitoring, or wearing a helmet. At 10:30 a.m., the administrator and DON were interviewed. They were asked if the interventions documented in the care plan and incident reports had been implemented. The DON stated physical therapy was not consulted because he was too confused to follow instructions. She was asked for documentation. She stated there wasn't any. She was asked if he was provided restorative care. She stated no due to his lack of ability to follow instructions. The DON stated he would not wear the helmet. She was asked for documentation. She said there wasn't any. They were asked if he was ambulatory when he was admitted . They said that some of the time he was. They were asked if staff ever walked the resident. They said when he was first admitted they would walk him and he would settle down. They stated they still walk him. They were asked for documentation of staff walking the resident. They said there wasn't any. The DON stated they monitored him by placing him in the front lobby. She was asked if anyone was assigned to keep him in view. She stated everyone was responsible for watching him. They were asked why he wore the torso restraint. The DON stated because he reached forward then he would fall. They were asked why he was on hospice. The DON stated because when he returned from the hospital after the fall on 08/28/13, they thought he was going to die. He had sustained a subdural hematoma and it was inoperable. He probably doesn't need hospice anymore. They were asked if the direct care givers had access to a care plan that provided interventions for the resident's falls. The DON stated they could refer to the ADL (activities of daily living) book.

Inspection of June 30, 2011

F323K · Immediate jeopardy, pattern

On 06/29/11, an immediate jeopardy (IJ) situation was determined to exist due to the facility's failure to assess residents to determine their ability to smoke independently and the facility's failure to provide supervision for residents who required supervision while smoking. At 3:10 p.m., the Oklahoma State Department of Health was notified and verified the existence of the IJ. At 3:20 p.m., the administrator, DON, MDS coordinator and activity director were notified of the IJ situation in regard to the facility's failure to assess residents ability to smoke independently and to provide supervised smoking for residents who required supervision to smoke. The facility's plan of removal was accepted on 06/29/11 at 5:01 p.m. The plan of removal documented: "Plan of Removal 06/29/11 1. All residents are to be and will be supervised when smoking effective immediately. All residents will be assessed upon admission and quarterly. Each resident will be reassessed for functional/mental ability in regards to smoking by 6PM on 06/29/11. Each resident/family member(s) will be informed of the smoking policy prior to admission and sign documentation in regards to this matter by 6PM on 06/29/11. If responsible party is unable to comply, a 30 day notice and assistance with placement to another facility will be offered. 2. All resident cigarettes will be under lock and key and administered at the assigned smoking times with the supervision of assigned staff. All residents will insure (sic) that their cigarettes have been placed in the up-right ash tray before leaving the smoke area. 3. Residents will be informed that all smokers are supervised effective immediately. Any family member/friend etc. will bring all smoking materials to the front office during weekdays and give to the weekend nurse on duty if brought in on the weekend. No cigarettes and/or lighters are to be given directly to the resident. 4. All staff from every department will continue to be and have been in-serviced on 06/29/11 by 10PM in regards to the smoking rules. All staff is to report any possible burned areas noted on resident clothing and/or belongings to the Administrator, DON, MDS coordinator and/or the charge nurse immediately upon observation. 5. A notice will be posted at the entry way of the facility to inform all visitors of the smoking policy. The notice documented, "Attention: This is a supervised smoking facility. If you are bringing smoking materials to a loved one please turn them in to the front office or to the charge nurse. Thank you for your cooperation. Management." 6. Supervised smoking hours will be from 7AM to midnight with staff supervision only. 7. All assisted residents that require a smoking apron will have one on during smoking time." On 06/30/11 at 9:00 a.m., the employees who were on duty were interviewed about the new smoking policy. Two employees stated they had not received an in-service on smoking. Another employee who had been in-serviced stated not all smokers had to be supervised. All three employees were in-serviced at that time by the administrator. At 9:45 a.m., the IJ was removed. The deficiency remained at a pattern level with potential for more than minimal harm. Based on observation, clinical record review, review of policy and procedure and staff and resident interviews, it was determined the facility failed to ensure: a. adequate supervision was provided for three (#5, 12, and #21) of four sampled residents who required supervision with smoking. Two (#5 and #12) of the residents were observed smoking without supervision, and two(#5 and #21) of the residents were observed to have multiple burn holes in multiple pieces of clothing. This resulted in an immediate jeopardy (IJ) situation. This had the potential to affect six residents identified by the facility who required supervision while they smoked; b. a smoking safety assessment was performed on a quarterly basis, per facility policy, to identify the need for supervised smoking for one (#5) of four sampled residents who smoked. The resident had burn holes in his clothing. This resulted in an immediate jeopardy (IJ) situation. This had the potential to affect six residents identified by the facility who required supervision while they smoked; and c. adequate supervision and preventive interventions were provided to prevent falls for three (#1, #6 and #10) of 12 sampled residents. This had the potential to affect 60 residents identified by the facility who had fallen within the past six months. A facility policy titled, "Edmond Health Care Center, Smoking", documented: "Policy: It is the policy of the (facility) to maintain a safe and hazard free environment for all residents. Subject: Smoking To insure safety the following rules regarding smoking are in effect: 1.

F371K · Immediate jeopardy, pattern

On 03/29/10 at 8:00 a.m., an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was identified regarding the facility's failure to cook and serve unpasteurized shell eggs in a manner to prevent the likelihood of foodborne illness. The facility staff had prepared unpasteurized fried eggs with liquid yolks. This affected 14 (#6, 8, 10, 18 and 22 through #31) of 14 sampled residents who were served unpasteurized fried eggs with liquid yolks. The Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) was contacted on 03/29/10 at 9:50 a.m., and verified the existence of the IJ. At 9:55 a.m., the dietary manager (DM) and director of nurses (DON) were notified of the IJ situation in regard to the unpasteurized fried eggs with liquid yolks which were served to residents. They were asked to provide a list of residents who had been served soft cooked fried eggs for the breakfast meal. The administrator was not present in the facility when the DM and the DON were notified of the IJ situation. At 10:40 p.m., a plan of removal was presented to the survey team and documented the following: "PLAN OF REMOVAL 03/29/10 DIETARY: 1. In the event the kitchen runs out of eggs the staff will change the menu for breakfast/lunch and /or dinner to a different menu. 2. The facility has deliveries 3 times weekly, if dietary becomes low on supplies the Dietary Manager or designee will notify the Administrator. 3. The supplies will be checked by the (certified dietary manager) 3 times weekly to assure the facility has pasteurized eggs in the building. 4. Staff will be in-serviced on proper protocol in the handling and serving of eggs by 2pm on 03/29/10." A list of residents who had been served soft cooked fried eggs for the breakfast meal was provided to the survey team. At 11:30 a.m., the OSDH was contacted in regard to the facility's plan of removal and verified acceptance of the plan of removal. At 1:30 p.m., the administrator was notified of the survey team's acceptance of the facility's plan of removal. On 03/30/10 and 03/31/10, interviews were conducted with dietary staff. They were asked if they had been inserviced in regard to the preparation of soft cooked eggs. They stated they had been inserviced and were not to prepare/serve soft cooked unpasteurized eggs. On 03/31/10 at 9:15 a.m., the survey team confirmed the facility had implemented the plan of removal and the administrator, dietary manager and the corporate diet technician were notified the IJ had been removed as of 03/29/10 at 2:00 p.m. The deficient practice remained at the level of no actual harm with the potential for more than minimal harm with more than a very limited number of residents affected. Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to: I. cook and serve unpasteurized shell eggs in a manner to prevent the likelihood of foodborne illness. The facility staff had prepared unpasteurized fried eggs with liquid yolks. This affected 14 of 14 (#6, 8, 10, 18 and 22 through #31) sampled residents who were served unpasteurized fried eggs with liquid yolks. II. store food and maintain the kitchen in a sanitary manner. Findings: I. On 03/29/10 at 8:00 a.m., during a tour of the kitchen, the surveyor observed a tray of shell eggs on the food preparation table across from the grill. The eggs were not stamped with a "P" to indicate they were pasteurized. The DM was in the process of frying eggs on the grill. As she transferred them from the grill to the individual plates the yokes were not firm. The DM was asked if she had pasteurized eggs. She stated she was "out" (of pasteurized eggs) and had gone to the store after she arrived at work, to purchase eggs. She was shown the eggs in the tray did not contain a stamp to indicate they were pasteurized. She was asked how many soft fried eggs she had served that morning. She stated, "About 10." At 8:20 a.m., the surveyor observed residents #10, 18, 28, 30 and #31 after a plate with a soft cooked fried egg had been served to each of them. At 8:55 a.m., two surveyors, the DM and the corporate diet technician observed the plate of resident #28 with a soft cooked egg. The DM stated she knew unpasteurized eggs were to be hard cooked and not served soft cooked. At 9:50 a.m., the surveyor asked resident #30 about the egg he was served for breakfast. He stated he had a soft cooked fried egg every day and liked the yolks runny. The DM had provided the surveyors with a list of residents who were served soft cooked fried eggs for breakfast on 03/29/10. Residents #10, 18, 30 and #31 were not on the list. She was informed of the surveyor's observations of the resident's plates with soft cooked fried eggs at breakfast. She acknowledged the soft cooked fried eggs and added their names to the list. Residents who were served soft cooked fried eggs were as follows: 1. Resident #28 was [AGE] years old and had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. 2. Resident #30 was [AGE] years old and had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. 3. Resident #18 was [AGE] years old and had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. 4. Resident #31 was [AGE] years old and had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. 5. Resident #10 was [AGE] years old and had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. 6. Resident #6 was [AGE] years old and had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. 7. Resident #22 was [AGE] years old and had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. 8.

Resident #29 was [AGE] years old and had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. 14. Resident #8 was [AGE] years old and had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The dietary policy and procedure manual documented the following in regard to bacterial foodborne illness: "...Name of illness: Salmonellosis. Examples of foods involved: Poultry...eggs...What Causes It: Salmonellae. (Bacteria) widespread in nature, lives and grows in intestinal tracts of human beings and animals. Symptoms: Severe headaches, followed by vomiting, diarrhea. abdominal cramps, and fever...elderly, and persons with low resistance are most susceptible. Severe infections cause high fever and may even cause death...Transmitted by eating contaminated food...Preventive measures: Salmonellae in food are destroyed by heating the food to 140 F (Fahrenheit) and holding for 10 minutes or to high temperatures for less time; for instance. 155 F for a few seconds. Refrigeration at 40 F inhibits the increase of Salmonellae, but they remain alive in foods in the refrigerator or freezer..." II. On 03/29/10 at 7:40 a.m., an environmental tour of the kitchen was conducted. The following was observed: a. A red bucket of liquid with a white rag in it was on top of the food preparation table. The DM was asked what was in the bucket. She stated it was bleach and soap water. She was asked if the bucket was to be setting on the food preparation table. She stated, "No." b. The bottom shelf of the metal food preparation table was rusted. A wooden rolling pin was stored on the shelf. c. Dried food debris was on the inside roof of the Panasonic microwave. The facility's "Cleaning of Microware Ovens" policy documented: "...To maintain the microwave oven in clean, (odor) free condition...Wipe the interior of the oven with hot sudsy water..." d. Hanging over the food preparation table was a scratched/cracked white rubber spatula with dried debris and a black Ecko spatula with dried debris. e. Dried debris was on the motor and white pipe under the dishwasher. At 9:03 a.m., the 3 freezers in the activity room were observed with the DM. The inside of the lid was detached on the General Electric freezer. A box of chicken fried steak was open to air. The DM acknowledged the broken freezer lid and the box of chicken fried steak open to air.
