F371K · Immediate jeopardy, pattern

On 10/09/11, at 6:55 a.m., the Oklahoma State Department of Health was contacted regarding an Immediate Jeopardy situation related to under-cooked, non-pasteurized eggs with runny yolks being prepared to serve to residents at breakfast and frozen meat left out to thaw in the dry storage area. At 7:00 a.m., the IJ situation was verified by the Oklahoma State Department of Health. At 7:05 a.m., the RN charge nurse was informed of the IJ situation. At that time, the Administrator nor the Director of Nursing were present in the facility. The ADM and the owner lived two hours away. The RN immediately notified the ADM by cell phone regarding the IJ situation. At 12:30 p.m., an acceptable Plan of Removal for the IJ was submitted by the facility. The facility's Plan of Removal documented the following: "All non-pasteurized eggs will be immediately discarded. All meats that were improperly thawed will be discarded immediately. All dietary staff will be in-serviced, today, regarding proper thawing techniques and that pasteurized eggs must be used at all times. Meats will be thawed on the bottom rack of the refrigerator or under running cold water. The above issues will be monitored by the Dietary Manager and the Dietary Manager will in-service all new employees on these procedures." The dietary in-service documented all the dietary staff would be trained before their shifts. The in-service documented the following: "All eggs used in the facility must be pasteurized eggs. All meats must be thawed in the refrigerator on the bottom shelf or in running cold water. All non-pasturized eggs must be thrown away immediately. All improperly thawed meats will be thrown away immediately." On 10/10/11, at 2:15 p.m., the ADM reported all the dietary personnel had been in-serviced. At 2:30 p.m., the dietary staff were interviewed regarding their knowledge of the in-service. All the dietary staff were knowledgeable about the items covered in the in-service. The IJ was removed on 10/10/11 at 2:30 p.m., when the last dietary staff had been interviewed and had verbalized their knowledge of not ever serving non-pasteurized eggs to the residents. The deficient practice remained at a pattern level of no actual harm, with a potential for more than minimal harm. Based on record review, observation, and staff interviews, it was determined the facility failed to: a) Ensure non-pasteurized eggs were thoroughly cooked before serving to residents. b) Ensure multiple non-pasteurized eggs were never prepared in the same skillet at the same time. c) Ensure meat was properly thawed. d) Ensure the chlorine level in the dishwasher was monitored on a regular basis and recorded in a log. e) Ensure dietary staff had knowledge of using a three compartment sink and what steps to take if the dishwasher was not properly functioning. f) Ensure the floor and shelves used to store pots and pans, in the dietary department, was free of food crumbs. g) Ensure food items in the refrigerator were covered and dated the day they had been opened. h) Ensure a trash can located near the handwashing sink was in functioning order. i) Ensure the dietary department was free of flies, during the two observed meal services. j) Ensure the ice machine remained locked when the staff was not utilizing the machine. This had the potential to affect 61 of 61 residents per the DON. Findings: On 10/09/11 at 5:30 a.m., during the initial tour of the kitchen the following was found: Several flats of non-pasteurized eggs were observed in the bottom of the refrigerator. At 5:30 a.m., DA #1 was asked to check the dishwasher for sanitation. A log on a sheet of paper, on the wall, documented dishwasher chlorine readings. The last documentation of the machine being checked was on 10/05/11. The DA checked the dish machine, three different times, the water did not show any chlorine being utilized for dish sanitation. The DA was asked who had worked the day before. She reported she had. The DA was then asked if she had checked the machine the day before. She reported she had not because the log sheet had been full and she could not find another log sheet to record the amount of chlorine even if she took it. The DA was then asked how they had cleaned the dishes the day before. She reported in the dishwasher. She was then asked what steps would be taken if the dish machine was not working. The DA reported they would do them by hand. The DA was asked how and where they would clean the dishes. The DA pointed to a two compartment sink. She reported she would put soap and water in the first sink, then put sanitizer and water in the second sink. The DA was asked if she was aware of the three compartment sink method for cleaning and sanitizing the dishes. She reported, no, but they only had two sinks. The DA did not have knowledge of the three compartment sink cleaning/rinsing/sanitizing method. The DA was asked if the facility had a supply of paper goods. She reported they had some paper cups, but no plates or plastic utensils. The floor under the dishwasher and in the dry storage area was observed to have food crumbs scattered about. In the dry storage area, a large stainless steel pan was observed to contain: Three bags of precooked thawed chicken, the bags were dated "9/14." A thawed 10 lb roll of hamburger meat. Two packages of lunch meat, thawed. and, A box of chicken leg. At that time, the DA was asked how long the meat had been sitting there. She reported since 4:00 a.m.. The DA was asked where the meats had been previously. She reported the DM had come in the previous day before lunch and told them what to prepare today. She reported they had laid the meat out to thaw at that time. The DA was asked if the meat had been left out overnight. She reported they put it back in the refrigerator when they left yesterday at 4:30 p.m. The DA was asked how she had been trained to thaw meat. She reported she really wasn't. She then stated, "(Name deleted the DM) said according to the state it is okay to lay it out overnight." The temperature of the hamburger meat was checked and registered 52 degrees F. The temperature of the pre-cooked chicken registered 34 degrees F. The box of raw chicken legs registered 40 degrees F. A stainless steel refrigerator in the storage area contained: A bowl of fruit with a whipped topping, covered and dated "10/4" and a bowl of beans dated "9/17." A trash can located near the handwashing sink, was observed to be broken and the top had to be lifted manually to dispose of paper towels used for handwashing. A stainless steel refrigerator in the meal preparation area was observed to contain 2 cups of milk. The cups of milk were uncovered and undated. Two shelves containing pans were observed to contain a moderate amount of food particles. Flies were observed to land on cooking utensils, dishes and serving areas. At 6:10 a.m., it was observed there was no ice to serve with breakfast or to keep the drink items cold that were sent out on the halls. LPN #1 was asked why there was no ice available. She reported the ice machine had been shut down last night, because it had been left unlocked and a resident stuck his hand into the ice. At 6:30 a.m., a skillet on the stove was observed to contain six partially cooked non-pasteurized eggs. The eggs were observed cooked over-easy with undercooked yolks. The flame under the skillet was turned off. The cook was observed to prepare a breakfast plate for resident #25. The cook placed a non-pasteurized fried egg, dry cereal and sausage on the plate. The yolk of the egg served was observed to not be thoroughly cooked. The cook and DA were stopped from serving the egg to the resident. The egg was cut with a butter knife and the yolk of the egg was observed to run out onto the plate touching the cooked sausage patty. The cook and the DA were asked if they knew what the problem was with serving undercooked, non-pasteurized eggs to the residents. Neither of the staff members had knowledge of the difference between pasteurized and non-pasteurized eggs or what the proper temperature should be for cooked non-pasteurized eggs. At 7:00 a.m., the meats on the stainless steel pan in the dry storage area continued to set out in the same place. At 7:30 a.m., many flies were observed in the kitchen. They were observed to land on a pan of lemon bars the staff had reported were for the lunch meal. The flies were also observed to land on eating utensils, dishes and serving areas. The back door of the kitchen was observed open. The door was locked next to the serving area. There was a gap of a few inches between the door frame and the screen door, which was allowing flies to enter the facility. At 8:30 a.m., the DM arrived. The DM placed the thawing meats from the dry storage area back into the refrigerator. The meats had been out since 4:00 a.m. At 8:40 a.m., the temperature of the meats were checked. The box of raw chicken legs registered 33 degrees F. The hamburger meat was 61 degrees F. At 9:00 a.m., the maintenance man was observed with the ice machine unlocked and being cleaned. At 10:20 a.m., the ADM was interviewed regarding sanitation issues in the kitchen. The ADM stated, "I have already talked to the DM and the meat was to be disposed of." The ADM then reported the DM was planning on coming in today and check on the staff to ensure the dietary department was running properly. At 10:25 a.m., the DM was interviewed. She was asked what she had done with the meat that had been thawing. She reported she had placed it back in the refrigerator. The DM was then asked if she had discussed the issue of the way meats were being thawed with the ADM. She stated, "I haven't said anything to him about it yet, I haven't had time. The DM was then asked if she had planned on coming to the facility that day to help in the dietary department. She stated, "No, this was my first weekend off in a long time."

F309G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on record review, observations and staff interviews, it was determined the facility failed to: a) Ensure residents who complained of pain or showed signs and symptoms of pain received the necessary treatment to relieve the pain in a timely manner, for three (#1, 11, and #15) of nine sampled residents who had been identified with pain. This caused actual harm to residents #1 and #15. This had the potential to affect 49 residents receiving pain medication, per the DON. b) Ensure indwelling catheter care was performed in a manner to prevent possible UTIs for two (#1 and #4) of three sampled residents with indwelling urinary catheter. This had the potential to affect four residents with indwelling urinary catheters per the DON.
