On 4/6/2026 we implemented a PIP regarding the staff member. If it is a one off observation you kind of deal with it and provide education and a corrective action. If a trend is identified it is taken to QAPI.During an interview on 4/16/2026 at 8:37 AM with the Administrator a request was made for additional information regarding education and audits related to the PIP.During an interview on 4/16/2026 at 1:10 PM the Administrator stated, Concerns were first identified on March 15, 2026. Then on April 1st we had a DOH [Department of Health] inspection. The issue is identified through rounding and identified concerns. DOH visit was the trigger, concerns were not addressed and we put in a performance improvement plan in place. As the DOH is doing the walk through they say concerns. Again, to me the PIP is implemented once we realize that our normal process is not followed. Part of the process is to audit and correct things we find in real time. We became aware of the issue by auditing and not seeing corrections. Audits show minimal improvements [audits were not provided]. Minimal improvement was sustained. These are the kinds of rounds done and communication. I would go back in and ensure that it was fixed. I don't necessarily have evidence that it was fixed. From my perspective it is never perfect, but when you start seeing the same things over and over that's when we initiated a formal process. Maybe this weekly rounding process is part of the quality assurance process. We were not seeing improvement that is why we initiated a formal improvement plan. As of 4/16/2026 at 1:10 PM no additional documentation was provided.Review of the facility 2025-2026 Quality Assurance & Performance Improvement (QAPI) Plan for Good Samaritan Center At Advent Christian Village read, Guiding Principles: Guiding principle #4: QAPI focuses on systems and processes, rather than individuals.
