Based on the review of clinical records, podiatry consults reports and interviews with staff, it was determined that the facility failed to implement podiatry recommendation for wound care and promote wound healing for one of five residents reviewed. (Resident R1)Findings Include:According to National Library of Medicine Chronic wounds often occur in patients with diabetes mellitus due to the impairment of wound healing. Impaired healing in diabetes is the result of a complex pathophysiology involving vascular, neuropathic, immune, and biochemical components. Hyperglycemia correlates with stiffer blood vessels which cause slower circulation and microvascular dysfunction, causing reduced tissue oxygenation. Blood vessel alterations observed in diabetic patients also account for reduced leukocyte migration into the wound, which becomes more vulnerable to infections. The hyperglycemic environment itself can compromise leucocyte function. In addition, peripheral neuropathy can lead to numbness of the area and reduced ability to feel pain, which can lead to chronicization of wounds that are not immediately noticed and properly treated. The described features are particularly relevant in the lower limbs and particularly the foot, more exposed to even minor wounds and thus more susceptible to chronicization. In addition, alterations of motor and sympathetic functions lead to physical deformation of the foot and increased plantar pressure, as well as excessive skin dryness which can further favor cracks and unnoticed small wounds.Review of care plan for Resident R1 dated April 10, 2025, revealed that the resident had a potential for alteration in skin integrity related to decreased mobility, incontinence, aged skin, related lateral ankle wound, opening to sacrum, peripheral vascular disease, and history of diabetics.Review of clinical record for Resident R1 dated August 15, 2025, revealed that the resident had wounds to heel/plantar foot deep tissue injury (DTI), and lateral foot wounds.Review of podiatry consult report dated August 7, 2025, revealed that the resident had right dorsal foot, lateral foot and heel deep tissue injury.
