This resulted in Actual Harm on 08/08/25 when the facility failed to implement the orthopedic surgeon's orders for treatment to Resident #2's left ankle surgical wound. Subsequently, Resident #2 was admitted to the hospital for an infection to the left ankle surgical wound, which was treated with debridement, placement of a wound vac, and intravenous (IV) antibiotics. This affected one (Resident #2) of three residents reviewed for surgical wounds. The facility census was 75 residents. Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #2 revealed an admission date of 06/16/25 with diagnoses including open reduction and internal fixation of bimalleolar left ankle fracture, chronic kidney disease, and diastolic congestive heart failure. Resident #2 was discharged to the hospital from the orthopedic surgeon's office on 08/08/25 and did not return to the facility.

Review of the office visit report for Resident #2 dated 08/08/25 revealed the resident's left ankle surgical wound presented with signs of infection. The dressing to the wound had foul-smelling drainage and the wound itself had a large opening with a full-thickness skin defect directly over the ankle and redness around the perimeter of the wound.

The DON confirmed the nurses failed to transcribe the order for wound care referral and the facility's wound care practitioner did not examine the resident nor did she provide orders for treatment of the resident's left ankle surgical wound. The DON verified the facility nurses provided no treatment to Resident #2's wound during the time frame of 07/25/25 to 08/08/25. The DON stated Resident #2 was sent to the hospital directly from the orthopedic surgeon's office on 08/08/25, was admitted , and did not return to the facility.

On 02/16/26, Unit Managers completed an audit of December 2025 and January 2026 physician orders to ensure no orders were missed on current in-house residents. Monthly audits of physician orders were completed in February 2026, March 2026 and April 2026, and will continue on an ongoing basis. This deficiency represents noncompliance investigated under Complaint Number 2748554.
