The nurses will be in serviced on ensuring CNA documentation is being completed during their shift and looking for any change in conditions that may occur. This will be completed by 1700 on 06/26/2015. On 06/26/15 at 5:00 p.m., the immediate jeopardy situation was removed after determining by interviews and record review all components of the plan of removal had been implemented, including in-service for all licensed staff on how to assess, monitor and intervene with significant changes in resident condition when indicated. The deficient practice remained at a pattern with actual harm. Based on interview, record review and policy and procedure review it was determined the facility failed to notify the physician and or family for one (#1) of nine sampled residents reviewed for a change in condition. The resident was sent to the emergency room per family request and was admitted to ICU with [MEDICAL CONDITION]. This had the potential to affect all 71 residents who resided in the facility.

F323K · Immediate jeopardy, pattern

On 07/06/12 at 1:15 p.m., an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was determined to exist due to the facility's failure to provide adequate supervision to prevent falls, and to identify and implement interventions to aid in the prevention of falls for two (#1and #4) of four sampled residents who had experienced falls in the facility. Resident #1 had three falls within one month. The third fall resulted in a hip fracture which required surgical intervention. At 1:25 p.m., the OSDH (Oklahoma State Department of Health) verified the existence of the IJ situation. At 1:30 p.m., the administrator and DON were informed of the IJ situation and were asked to provide the surveyors with a plan of removal. At 3:15 p.m., the facility submitted an acceptable plan of removal. The plan of removal documented: "1. New system implemented effective July 6, 2012 - When patient discharges to hospital, the hospital liaison or their designee will follow-up with hospital case manager for admitting [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. - Care Plans will actively reflect individualized interventions. - Facility will utilize a fall investigation worksheet as its investigation tool and documentation. - Social Services Director or their designee will follow up with hospital liaison regarding discharged patient status and document. 2. Director of Nursing or their designee will report all actual harm incidents to appropriate agencies. 3. Facility will assess all current patients for fall risk, identify those at risk and assure care plans are reviewed and newest interventions documented. (To be completed by 3:00 p.m. Sunday, July 8, 2012) 4. An inservice for all current licensed nursing staff who assess for patient fall risk will be given by DON and or her designee regarding fall risk assessment and documentation, with appropriate interventions and updating care plans to reflect those interventions. (Inservicing to be completed by 3:00 p.m. Sunday July 8, 2012.) Licensed personnel who are unable to be physically present for scheduled inservices, will be inserviced by phone. Upon returning to facility those nurses will sign inservice form stating they were inserviced by phone and the date of that inservice, prior to assuming their responsibilities in the facility." The DON presented samples of a 'Falls Investigation Worksheet' that the facility would implement following the Inservice to the staff. On 07/09/12 at 11:45 a.m., the IJ was removed back to the plan of removal time on the completion of the inservice on Sunday July 8, 2012 at 3:00 p.m. The licensed nursing staff when interviewed were able to verify their knowledge and understanding of the inservices presented as a result of the IJ situation. The deficient practice remained at a level of actual harm at a pattern. Based on observation, record reviews and staff interviews, it was determined the facility failed to provide adequate supervision to prevent falls and to consistently identify and implement interventions to aid in the prevention of falls for two (#1 and #4) of four sampled residents who had experienced falls in the facility. The facility identified 53 residents who were at risk for falls. Findings: 1. Resident #1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. An 'Initial Plan of Care', dated 05/15/12, documented, "...if res is increase fall risk, alarm on at all times..." A history and physical report, dated 05/22/12, documented the resident was admitted to the facility for rehabilitation following joint replacement of the right hip due to a previous fall with a fracture. A 'Physical Therapy Evaluation and Plan of Care', dated 05/15/12, documented, "...Prior level of function: She lived at home alone, she was (independent) without an (assistive) device...Comments: basically uncooperative during her (evaluation) even with her daughter coaxing her to try to get her to cooperate..." An 'Occupational Therapy Evaluation and Plan of Care', dated 05/16/12, documented, "...very agitated confused and verbally inappropriate..." The PT (physical therapy) and OT (occupational therapy) evaluations documented: "...Considerations in Treatment Plan Development: Safety, Cognition, Endurance, Pain, and Ability to retain new information..." An 'incident/accident report', dated 05/19/12 at 6:55 a.m., documented, "...resident states she wanted to get out of bed and rolled off consequently fell to the floor...(see nurses' notes for details)... Additional comments and/or steps taken to prevent recurrence: X-ray obtained, keep bed low position." A nurse's note, dated 5/19/12 at 11:38 a.m., documented, "...during change of shift this morning at 0655 (6:55 a.m.) this nurse was alerted by aide that resident was found on the floor, admitted having pain to the right side that she had the surgery, pain meds (administered), x-ray done, no apparent injury." The comprehensive admission assessment for resident #1, dated 05/23/12, documented the resident had dementia, was alert and confused, had inattention and disorganized thinking. She had severe cognitive impairment. The resident required extensive assistance of two staff members for transfers, ambulation, dressing and personal hygiene. The assessment documented the resident had a fall prior to admission, but did not document the fall on 05/19/12. A 'Care Plan Report', initiated 5/29/12, documented: "Problem: Had a non injury fall while in facility, remains at risk for fall related injuries due to inability to recognize her own limitations, poor balance, unsteady gait. Goals: Maintain/improve current level of mobility with no increase in the incidence of falls/injuries. Interventions: 1. Wear non-slick footwear that fits. 2.

Inspection of November 17, 2011

1 finding
F309J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

Based on observation, clinical record review, policy and procedure review, and interviews, it was determined the facility failed to: a. assess and monitor a resident for oversedation for one (#1) of five sampled residents who were receiving narcotic pain medications. The resident required transfer to the hospital with altered mental status and required administration of medications to reverse the effects of the narcotics. This deficient practice resulted in an immediate jeopardy situation. This had the likelihood to affect 64 residents identified by the facility as receiving as needed pain medications; and b. assess a resident's pain level prior to the administration of an as needed pain medication for three (#1, 2, #5) of five sampled residents receiving as needed pain medication. This had the potential to affect 64 residents identified by the facility as receiving as needed pain medications. Findings: A facility policy, titled Change in a Resident's Condition or Status, documented, "...Policy Statement: Our facility shall promptly notify the resident, his or her attending physician, and representative (sponsor) of changes in the resident's medical/mental; condition and/or status (e.g., changes in level of care, billing/payments, residents rights, etc.)...

On 11/16/11 at 2:33 p.m., the OSDH was notified and verified the existence of an immediate jeopardy (IJ) situation related to the facility's failure to assess the resident's condition, monitor his status, and intervene according to the standards of care when the resident had a significant change in condition. At 3:00 p.m., the administrator and the DON were notified of the IJ situation related to the facility's failure to assess, monitor and intervene for a significant change in condition for resident #1. They were notified the IJ situation indicated substandard quality of care and the facility would enter into an extended survey. On 11/16/11 at 4:55 p.m., the facility submitted an acceptable Plan of Removal. The Immediate Jeopardy Plan of Removal documented, "In-Service education will be provided to direct care staff by midnight on 11/16/11. Those direct care individuals not present for the in-service will be in-serviced via telephone by midnight on 11/16/11. Should any remaining direct care individuals not personally or via telephone receive the in-service in the time described above, they will be removed from the employment responsibilities. Assess and monitor in a timely manner. All direct care staff should be aware of changes in the resident's health status, communicating such changes on identification to the appropriate charge nurse, immediately. Changes in the resident's health status can include (but are not limited to): ? Communication style or ability to understand resident ? Changes in cognition. Example: A resident who was previously alert and oriented has become disoriented or confused, lethargic or unable to arouse. ? Changes in transfer, ambulation or gait. ? Changes in continence. ? Vital sign fluctuations. ***This is not an all-inclusive list, but only an example of some situations of changes in resident health status that should be communicated immediately to the charge nurse.*** Charge nurses will act immediately on any identification of changes in resident status. The charge nurse will assess the resident; if emergency protocols are necessary, such will be provided and implemented immediately on identification; in absence of emergency situation, the charge nurse will consult the physician based on assessment findings resulting from the health status change and follow any physician ordered interventions. The charge nurse will document all interactions relative to the resident's health status and any changes or updates to care relative to those changes. The charge nurse will notify any interested and approved persons to receive healthcare information regarding status and care updates. The above referenced in-service education specifications will be implemented and achieved on 11/16/2011 by midnight."

At 9:05 a.m., the administrator and DON were notified of the staff's lack of knowledge about residents' changes in condition. The administrator was asked to submit an amended plan of removal to address the staff's knowledge deficit regarding significant changes. At 10:30 a.m., an amended plan of removal was submitted and accepted by the survey team. The amended plan documented, "It was determined that several direct care nursing staff needed a clarification in-service on Thursday morning by the facility and survey team.
