Review of Resident R93's care plan, related to the risk for skin breakdown/pressure ulcer of the heel, included interventions to follow facility protocols for treatment of [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . Further review of Resident R93's electronic record indicated that on 12/25/20, Licensed Practical Nurse Employee (LPN) E1 documented in Progress Notes that a large intact blister of the left heel was noted measuring 5 centimeters (cm) in length by 4 cm in width (1.9 inches by 1.5 inches). The Progress Note revealed the doctor was notified and an order obtained to wipe a Skin Prep pad (a product to provide a protective film) over the left heel blister daily, let dry, and loosely apply a foam dressing every day for 30 days. Physician orders [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . The record lacked a comprehensive pressure ulcer assessment, or documentation at the time of identification or at the treatment change, related to the condition of the wound or physician rational for the change in treatment. Review of Resident R93's electronic health record included Skilled Progress Notes completed after identification of the blister of the left heel, dated 12/27/20; 12/29/20; 12/30/20; 12/31/20; 1/4/21; 1/6/21; 1/7/21; 1/9/21; 1/12/21; and 1/14/21. The integumentary (skin) section of the skilled documentation, on the identified dates, referenced a pressure ulcer of the left heel and directed to see assessment for further details. There was no evidence of comprehensive wound or skin assessment in the clinical record related to Resident R93's left heel blister on the associated dates of the skilled documentation, or on any other date, prior to 1/19/21 (25 days after wound identification). During interviews on 3/31/21, at 9:45 a.m. Physical Therapy (PT)/Wound Care Employee E2 indicated that he/she observed the blister on Resident R93's left heel in the days after it's identification, but was not involved in the care at that point, and described it as large, and that the surrounding area was darkened, almost like a deep tissue injury. LPN Employee E1, at the same interview, indicated Resident R93's wound progressed from a blister, to an open wound within a few days, and thought that was why the treatment was changed. LPN Employee E1 also indicated that the unit's LPN or wound nurse would complete the daily ordered treatment, unless the therapy department was providing daily wound treatments with electrical stimulation, and indicated that the wound nurse was responsible for the completion of the weekly wound assessment. Upon reviewing the electronic health record, LPN Employee E1 confirmed there was no evidence of the weekly assessments of Resident R93's left heel pressure ulcer between 12/25/20, and 1/19/21, when a wound physician was consulted. The electronic health record included a Wound Nurse - Weekly note, dated 1/20/21, that indicated Resident R93 was seen by a wound physician on 1/19/21 (25 days after discovery), at staff request for open area to the left heel which is a Stage IV pressure ulcer measuring 4.0 cm x 4.0 cm by 0.2 cm with light serosanguinous (lightly colored bloody mixture) drainage, with the wound bed 40% necrotic tissue (eschar - black hard tissue), 20% necrotic (dead) tissue, and 40% muscle, fascia (bands/connective tissue attached to muscle) tissue. The note indicated the wound was anesthetized (numbed) and debrided (cleaning away of dead tissue) by the physician. A Wound Evaluation & Management Summary, dated 1/19/20 and completed by the wound physician, indicated that the plan was to treat the wound with Santyl (a product that removes dead tissue) and [MEDICATION(S)] (an anti-infective ointment) with a dressing every day and that the estimated time for healing was 63 days with continued physician evaluation and intervention. On 1/28/21, the wound doctor, changed the wound treatment order to alternate Santyl ointment (a wound treatment) with [MEDICATION(S)] (an antibiotic) ointment on a daily basis, with a dressing to be completed on the evening shift. On 2/15/21, the wound physician added electrical stimulation treatments (application of electrical current through electrodes placed adjacent to the wound to stimulate cell growth/wound healing) to the Stage IV pressure ulcer (left heel.) Wound physician documentation from 1/28/21, through 3/31/21, directed staff to continue with the alternating daily treatments of Santyl and [MEDICATION(S)] based on visible healing. Observations of wound care to Resident R93's pressure ulcer, with PT/Wound Care Employee E2, conducted on 3/29/21, at 9:30 a.m., revealed a healing Stage IV pressure ulcer to the left heel, the approximate size of a fifty cent piece. PT Wound Care Employee E2, following removal of the electrical stimulation leads, cleansed the wound, applied Santyl Ointment to the wound and dressed the wound per physician order. PT/Wound Care Employee E2 indicated he/she provided wound care, Monday through Friday, in conjunction with electrical stimulation treatments. When questioned about the alternating [MEDICATION(S)] and Santyl treatment orders, PT/Wound Care Employee E2 indicated he/she was unaware of a [MEDICATION(S)] order and always applied Santyl when dressing the wound after treatment. PT/Wound Care Employee E3 indicated the electrical stimulation treatments and wound care he/she provided was documented in a therapy electronic record, not in the nursing record, and was unsure if nursing could view the documentation. Review of the Nursing March Treatment Record revealed documentation to support the application of [MEDICATION(S)] on alternating evening shifts by nursing staff, but not the Santyl order for alternating days. During an interview on 3/31/21, at 1:00 p.m. the Director of Nursing confirmed that all resident documentation is contained in the electronic health record, either directly entered or scanned in, and that the facility was unable to locate any documentation to support that Resident R93's left heel wound was comprehensively assessed per facility policy between identification on 12/25/20, and 1/19/21, resulting in harm, as evidenced by the wound progression from an intact blister to a Stage IV pressure ulcer as assessed by the wound physician. The facility Corporate Nurse, during the same interview, confirmed the documentation in the clinical record did not support that staff consistently implemented treatments to Resident R93's pressure ulcer per physician order. 28 Pa.
