2 findingsBased on facility policy review, clinical record review, and review of facility documentation, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that one of two residents reviewed was free of neglect during a transfer which resulted in actual harm to Resident CL1 who sustained a [MEDICAL CONDITION] femur (Resident CL1). Findings include: Review of the facility policy, Abuse, Neglect, & Exploitation Policy, last revised [DATE], defined neglect as, the failure of the facility, its employees or service providers to provide goods and services to a resident that are necessary to avoid physical harm, pain, mental anguish, or emotional distress. Review of Resident CL1's clinical record revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of the resident's quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS - periodic assessment of resident needs) completed on [DATE], under Section G - Functional Status: G0110, Activities of Daily Living Assistance, revealed that the resident required extensive assistance for transferring with two person physical assist. Section G0300, Balance During Transitions and Walking, revealed that the resident was assessed as not steady and only able to stabilize with staff assistance for moving from a seated to a standing position and from surface to surface transfers. Review of the resident's care plan developed [DATE], revealed that for transfers, the resident required assist from two people using a mechanical lift (assistive device that allows a resident to be transferred between a bed and a chair or other similar resting places, using mechanical power). Review of nursing documentation dated [DATE], at 3:30 p.m. revealed that the Director of Nursing, Employee E2, was notified that there was bruising noted on the resident's left hip area under the resident's incontinence brief.

Inspection of August 9, 2016
1 findingBased on observations, review of clinical records, facility policy, and staff and resident interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to provide the necessary care and services to prevent and/or promote the healing of pressure ulcers resulting in actual harm to one of three residents reviewed with pressure ulcers (Resident C3) and failed to provide timely, accurate and appropriate pressure ulcer assessments for one of 11 residents reviewed (Residents C6). Findings include: Review of the facility policy and procedure entitled, Wound Observation and Pressure Ulcer Staging, last revised July 2015, revealed that all licensed nurses should follow established guidelines and protocols regarding the observing, describing of tissue, evaluating, measuring of the wounds and stagging of pressure ulcers. All pressure ulcers are measured weekly by the Director of Clinical Services or licensed designee. Document of all wounds and wound measurements on the Wound Evaluation Flow Sheet. The pressure ulcer data will also be entered on the Weekly Pressure Ulcer Summary and the medical record. Interview with the facility's Director of Nursing and Assistant Director of Nursing on August 4, 2016, at 1:00 p.m. confirmed that the facility's wound care management team included: Assistant Director of Nursing, Employee E3; Registered Dietician, Employee E7; Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator, Employee E12 and a charge nurse. Employee E3 confirmed that the facility's wound care management team did not provide for a wound specialist who was wound care certified. Employee E3 confirmed that the wound team completed wound assessment rounds weekly, on a Wednesday. Employee E3 further confirmed that if a resident was documented with a change in skin condition or a new wound, other than on a Wednesday, Employee E3 would attempt to observe the skin or wait until the next scheduled weekly wound team rounds. Employee E3 confirmed that attempts are made to observe newly identified wounds as soon as possible, or during wound assessment weekly rounds; and revealed that the facility's regional corporation did not incorporate into its policy and procedure parameters for when the wound care management team should be assessing new onset wounds. Employee E3 confirmed that when a resident was observed with changes in skin, then licensed staff were to complete a Change in Condition report. This reporting would be accessible to Employee E3 on a daily basis, and was used for coordinating weekly wound rounds. Review of Resident C3's electronic clinical record revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of the admission assessment dated [DATE], identified the resident with moderate cognitive impairment. Review of the Braden Scale (a tool utilize to assess the risk of developing pressure ulcers- an area of damaged skin caused by staying in one position for a long time, that commonly forms on the bony prominence of the skin) dated July 3, 2016, revealed that the resident was identified with a score of 17 placing the resident at mild risk for developing pressure ulcers (Braden assessment scale: 15-16 mild risk; 12-14 moderate risk; less than 12 high risk; 15-18 mild risk for individuals less than [AGE] years old). Review of the skin integrity reports completed from June 19, 2016, through July 3, 2016, revealed that the resident's skin was intact (no pressure ulcer noted). Review of the weekly wound data completed by Employee E3 on July 7, 2016, revealed that on July 4, 2016, the resident was identified with a deep tissue injury (purple or maroon localized area of discolored intact skin or blood filled blister due to damage of underlying soft tissue from pressure or sheer) on the right heel measuring 2 cm (centimeters) by 2 cm and described as 100% dark red and purple in color; non blanchable (when skin loses redness with pressure; unblanchable skin does not), boggy and circular shape. It was further noted that the heels were to be floated when in bed. Review of a second weekly wound data record also completed by Employee E3 on July 7, 2016, revealed that on July 4, 2016, the resident was identified with a deep tissue injury on the left heel measuring 2 cm by 2 cm with a depth of 0.1 cm and 100% dark red and purple with a slight open towards the top 'slit' unable to visualize the wound bed due to 95% of wound being intact and that the resident's heels were to be floated when in bed. Review of the resident's plan of care initiated on July 5, 2016, revealed that the resident's pressure ulcer will show signs of healing and remain free from infection. Review of the interventions developed in the plan of care failed to include the recommendation noted on the wound data report for the resident's heels to be elevated (floated) when in bed. An interview conducted with the Director of Nursing on August 8, 2016, at 2:00 p.m. indicated that the intervention of elevation to the resident's heels was considered by the facility as a nursing measure and was included on the nursing assistant task list. Review of Resident C8 nursing assistant task list revealed that on July 5, 2016, the elevation of the resident's heels was added to the list. During interview with the Director of Nursing at the above stated time and date, the surveyor inquired if any interventions to elevate the resident's heels had been utilized to prevent the development of the heel pressure ulcers. Employee E3 provided a resident's Kardex (information provided to nursing assistant regarding the resident which include interventions in the areas of safety, transferring, dressing, resident care, bathing, personal hygiene, mobility and monitoring). Review of the resident's Kardex revealed that under resident care, the facility staff was to ensure that the resident's heels were floated on pillows when in bed and that heel boots were on while in bed. Review of Resident C3's electronic treatment administration records for June 2016 and July 2016 and the electronic tracking system (where nursing staff input the daily activities completed for the resident) failed to reveal any evidence that the resident was provided with heel boots while in bed and that the resident heels were floated on pillows to aid in the prevention of the development of skin breakdown of the resident's heels. The facility failed to ensure that the intervention of heel boots while in bed and the intervention of floating the resident's heels on the pillows were implemented prior to the development of deep tissue injury in each of the resident's heels, and thereby contributed to the development of deep tissue injuries to both heels, which resulted in actual harm to Resident C3. Observations conducted of Resident C8 on August 8, 2016, at 10:30 a.m. revealed that the resident was wearing non-skid socks and the resident's heels were resting directly on the foot rest of the wheelchair. Observations of the resident's heels in the company of Licensed Staff, Employee E16, on August 8, 2016, at 10:45 a.m. confirmed a dark color area on the resident's right heel and the left heel with a dark colored area on the center of the heel and an area described by Employee E16 as bluish in color surrounding the dark area of the left heel. Employee E16 indicated that the resident should have heel boots on at all times. The facility failed to ensure that interventions were in place to prevent skin breakdown to the resident's heels and resulted in actual harm to Resident C3 with the development of deep tissue injury on both of the resident's heels. Review of Resident C6's annual Minimum Data Set (MDS-assessment of care needs), dated June 22, 2016, indicated that the resident was severely cognitively impaired and required staff assistance for dressing, hygiene and bathing. Review of Resident C6's physician's orders revealed a verbal order dated June 14, 2016, at 5:13 a.m. received by Licensed Staff, Employee E11, to cleanse open area (no area was documented on the physician's order) with normal saline solution (sterile salt water solution) and apply Allevyn (absorbent foam) dressing every 72 hours every evening shift, every three days for wound healing until healed. Licensed Employee E11 failed to complete a Change in Condition report documenting when this open area was first identified by the staff and failed to provide for any further comprehensive assessment of the open area of the skin as per the facility's policy. Interview with Assistant Director of Nursing, Employee E3, confirmed on August 5, 2016, at approximately 1:30 p.m. that Employee E11 received the verbal physician's treatment order for Resident C6's open area on the left buttock on June 14, 2016, at 5:13 a.m. but there was no facility documentation in the form of a Change in Condition report that was received by Employee E3. Employee E3 also confirmed that Resident C6's open area on the left buttock was first identified by the facility staff, however, there was no further documented assessment of the open area on the left buttock until June 15, 2016, at 9:30 a.m. Review of the late entry nurses' note dated June 15, 2016, at 9:30 a.m. documented that Resident C6's skin assessment was performed and a open abrasion area was noted on the inner left gluteal area, irregular shaped, but this facility documentation on June 15, 2016, at 9:30 a.m. continued to fail to provide for measurements of the irregular shaped open area. Interview with Assistant Director of Nursing, Employee E3, on August 5, 2016, at approximately 1:30 p.m. confirmed that the wound management team did not assess Resident C6's open area on the left gluteal (buttock) until June 21, 2016, eight days later after first identified. Review of Resident C6's Weekly Wound Data Collection Flow Record dated June 21, 2016, in the presence of the Assistant Director of Nursing, Employee E3, confirmed that the open area on the left buttock was first identified on June 14, 2016, and the area now measured as a 1cm x 1 cm excoriated area. There was no documented evidence that measurements of the size of the open area were obtained when the open area was first identified on June 14, 2016. The facility failed to provide a complete assessment of Resident C6's open area on the left buttock with a full description of the open area on the skin including staging and measurements at the time of identification. 28 Pa.
