F323J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

On 09/28/15, an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was determined to exist related to the facility's failure to ensure hazardous chemicals were stored securely out of reach to residents on the locked dementia care unit. The IJ situation was verified with the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH). At 12:50 p.m., the administrator and DON were notified of the existence of the IJ. At 2:17 p.m., an acceptable plan of removal was received. The facility's plan of removal documented: Immediate Action to Correct IJ 1. Storage closet was locked on 500 hall immediately, until the lock can be replaced. 2. Lock located on the East side of 500 hall, will be replaced today with a lock that cannot be left unlocked; self locking style. It will be completed by 09/28/2015 by 15:00 (3:00 p.m.). 3. Dangerous chemicals found in the storage closet; (EZ Off, Ant Killer, and Super germicidal wipes) have been removed on 09/28/15 at 13:00 (1:00 p.m.). 4. Maintenance director will personally check the rest of the 15 additional storage closets in the facility to assure there are no other dangerous chemicals in them. Self locking locks will be installed on all storage closets to replace locks that can be left unlocked. This will be completed by 09/28/15 by 17:00 (5:00 p.m.). 5.

This had the likelihood to affect eight residents identified by the facility who wandered on the Hall 500 locked dementia care unit. b. a shared resident bathroom was free of accident hazards for one (Hall 400 women's bathroom) of three shared resident bathrooms observed. This had the potential to affect four residents identified by the facility who utilized the Hall 400 women's bathroom. c. a hallway utilized by the residents was maintained in a safe manner to prevent accidents for one (Hall 600) of four resident hallways observed. This had the potential to affect 12 residents identified by the facility who ambulated in the hallways. d. a resident was provided assistance with a transfer in a manner to prevent injury for one (#4) of three sampled residents observed during assistance with a transfer. This had the potential to affect 25 residents identified by the facility who required assistance with a gait belt during a transfer.

F225J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

On 12/01/14, an Immediate Jeopardy situation was determined to exist due to the facility's failure to complete a thorough investigation of resident #1's suspicious injury of unknown origin which occurred on 11/17/14 due to an altercation with resident #16. Additional injuries were sustained on 11/25/14 which resulted from a second altercation with resident #16. On 12/01/14, the Oklahoma State Department of Health was notified and verified the Immediate Jeopardy situation. At 5:00 p.m., the Administrator and Director of Nursing were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy situation. At 8:40 p.m., an acceptable plan of removal was received. The Plan of removal documented the following: "Plan of Removal Claim of Immediate Jeopardy December 1, 2014 1. One staff member will be designated as a 'monitor' for the Dementia Unit to observe the common area and hallway; particularly when other staff members are providing care to residents in their rooms or in the shower room. This person will be referred to as the 'monitor'. Charge Nurse will be responsible to ensure that a monitor is designated and in-place for all shifts. A facility wide in-service to include Nursing (RN/LPN, CMA, C NA's (sic)) Housekeeping, Dietary, Maintenance, and Activities staff that may work on Hall 500/Dementia Unit as a monitor will be educated by noon, [DATE] about the new Abuse Investigations Policy, protecting resident and new procedure on monitoring residents. Staff members will not work on Dementia Unit until they have completed mandatory in-service, either in person or via telephone with witness. 2. Administrator and Department Heads (medical Records, Maintenance, Dietary, MDS Nurses, Activities, DON, and Business Office Manager) have been educated on the attached new Abuse Investigations Policy as potentially being investigators by [DATE]; 2300 (11:00 p.m.) hours. A modification was made whereby the Administrator will appoint a member of management to investigate alleged incidents. All were given the referenced policy to ready and follow. 3. A facility wide in-service to include Nursing (RN/LPN, CMA, C NA's (sic)), Housekeeping, Dietary, Maintenance, and Activities staff will be called in for mandatory In-Service and then sign that they have been educated on the new Abuse Investigations Policy and new procedure on monitoring residents on Dementia Unit. Staff will be encouraged to continue reporting any suspected abuse. Specifically, Staff will be told that an investigating officer will be assigned to conduct investigations. Nursing (RN/LPN, CMA, C NA's (sic)), Housekeeping, Dietary, Maintenance, And Activities Staff may be educated about the new Abuse Investigations Policy and new procedures on monitoring residents via telephone with a witness or in person. Facility staff to include Nursing (RN/LPN, CMA, C NA's (sic)), Housekeeping, Dietary, Maintenance, and Activities staff will be in-serviced by noon, [DATE] about new Abuse Investigations Policy, protecting residents and having a monitor in place to protect residents by being able to call for help. Staff members will not work until they have completed mandatory in-service, either in person or via telephone with witness. 4. All residents on Dementia Unit will be assessed by 2200 (10:00 p.m.) [DATE] for any suspicious injury. Should any be found, each will follow the new Abuse Investigations Policy to be investigated in an attempt to determine cause of injury. 5. Residents with assaultive behaviors will be identified in order to focus the assigned monitor. This is to be completed by 2300 (11:00 p.m.), [DATE]." On 12/02/14 at 3:30 p.m., the Immediate Jeopardy situation was removed after all components of the plan of removal had been completed. The deficient practice remained at an isolated level of actual harm. Based on clinical record review, staff interviews and review of facility policy and procedures, it was determined the facility failed to: a. conduct a thorough investigation of a suspicious injury of unknown origin for one (#1) of three sampled residents whose clinical records were reviewed for injuries of unknown origin; and b. conduct a thorough investigation of an allegation of sexual assault for one (#15) of 14 sampled residents whose records were reviewed for abuse. This resulted in actual harm to resident #1 who received an injury of unknown origin which was not properly investigated. Resident #1 had bruising to his right upper arm and right lower leg from an altercation with resident #16, including an area that appeared as a suspicious mouth sized buise. Approximately eight days later resident #1 was assaulted again by resident #16 and received bruising to his right pinky finger, right side of the head, and abrasions to his left shoulder and right hip. After this incident, resident #16 admitted to hitting, biting and pushing the resident down. This also resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy situation to resident's safety on the hall 500 locked unit due to the facility's failure to conduct thorough investigations for injuries of unknown origin. This had to potential to affect all 88 residents who resided in the facility. Findings: A facility policy titled, Abuse Investigations, documented: "Policy Statement All reports of resident abuse, neglect and injuries of unknown source shall be promptly and thoroughly investigated by facility management.

F226J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

On 12/01/14, an Immediate Jeopardy situation was determined to exist due to the facility's failure to follow their abuse policies and procedures to ensure a thorough investigation was completed for a suspicious injury of unknown origin for resident #1 which occurred on 11/17/14 due to an altercation with resident #16. Resident #1 sustained additional injuries on 11/25/14 due to a second altercation with resident #16. On 12/01/14, the Oklahoma State Department of Health was notified and verified the Immediate Jeopardy situation. At 5:00 p.m., the Administrator and Director of Nursing were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy situation. At 8:40 p.m., an acceptable plan of removal was received. The Plan of removal documented the following: "Plan of Removal Claim of Immediate Jeopardy December 1, 2014 1. One staff member will be designated as a 'monitor' for the Dementia Unit to observe the common area and hallway; particularly when other staff members are providing care to residents in their rooms or in the shower room. This person will be referred to as the 'monitor'. Charge Nurse will be responsible to ensure that a monitor is designated and in-place for all shifts. A facility wide in-service to include Nursing (RN/LPN, CMA, C NA's (sic)) Housekeeping, Dietary, Maintenance, and Activities staff that may work on Hall 500/Dementia Unit as a monitor will be educated by noon, [DATE] about the new Abuse Investigations Policy, protecting resident and new procedure on monitoring residents. Staff members will not work on Dementia Unit until they have completed mandatory in-service, either in person or via telephone with witness. 2. Administrator and Department Heads (medical Records, Maintenance, Dietary, MDS Nurses, Activities, DON, and Business Office Manager) have been educated on the attached new Abuse Investigations Policy as potentially being investigators by [DATE]; 2300 (11:00 p.m.) hours. A modification was made whereby the Administrator will appoint a member of management to investigate alleged incidents. All were given the referenced policy to ready and follow. 3. A facility wide in-service to include Nursing (RN/LPN, CMA, C NA's (sic)), Housekeeping, Dietary, Maintenance, and Activities staff will be called in for mandatory In-Service and then sign that they have been educated on the new Abuse Investigations Policy and new procedure on monitoring residents on Dementia Unit. Staff will be encouraged to continue reporting any suspected abuse. Specifically, Staff will be told that an investigating officer will be assigned to conduct investigations. Nursing (RN/LPN, CMA, C NA's (sic)), Housekeeping, Dietary, Maintenance, And Activities Staff may be educated about the new Abuse Investigations Policy and new procedures on monitoring residents via telephone with a witness or in person. Facility staff to include Nursing (RN/LPN, CMA, C NA's (sic)), Housekeeping, Dietary, Maintenance, and Activities staff will be in-serviced by noon, [DATE] about new Abuse Investigations Policy, protecting residents and having a monitor in place to protect residents by being able to call for help. Staff members will not work until they have completed mandatory in-service, either in person or via telephone with witness. 4. All residents on Dementia Unit will be assessed by 2200 (10:00 p.m.) [DATE] for any suspicious injury. Should any be found, each will follow the new Abuse Investigations Policy to be investigated in an attempt to determine cause of injury. 5. Residents with assaultive behaviors will be identified in order to focus the assigned monitor. This is to be completed by 2300 (11:00 p.m.), [DATE]." On 12/02/14 at 3:30 p.m., the Immediate Jeopardy situation was removed after all components of the plan of removal had been completed. The deficient practice remained at an isolated level of actual harm. Based on clinical record review, staff interviews and review of facility policy and procedures, it was determined the facility failed to implement their abuse policies and procedures to: a. conduct a thorough investigation of a suspicious injury of unknown origin for one (#1) of three sampled residents whose clinical records were reviewed for injuries of unknown origin; and b. conduct a thorough investigation of an allegation of sexual assault for one (#15) of 14 sampled residents whose records were reviewed for abuse. This resulted in actual harm to resident #1 who received an injury of unknown origin which was not properly investigated. Resident #1 had bruising to his right upper arm and right lower leg from an altercation with resident #16, including an area that appeared as a suspicious mouth sized buise. Approximately eight days later resident #1 was assaulted again by resident #16 and received bruising to his right pinky finger, right side of the head, and abrasions to his left shoulder and right hip. After this incident, resident #16 admitted to hitting, biting and pushing the resident down. This also resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy situation to resident's safety on the hall 500 locked unit due to the facility's failure to implement their abuse policies and procedures to conduct thorough investigations for injuries of unknown origin. This had to potential to affect all 88 residents who resided in the facility. Findings: A facility policy titled, Abuse Investigations, documented: "Policy Statement All reports of resident abuse, neglect and injuries of unknown source shall be promptly and thoroughly investigated by facility management. Policy Interpretation and Implementation 1. Should an incident or suspected incident of resident abuse, mistreatment, neglect or injury of unknown source be reported, the Administrator, or his/her designee, will appoint a member of management to investigate the alleged incident... 3. the individual conducting the investigation will, as a minimum... c.

F323J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

On 12/01/14 an Immediate Jeopardy situation was determined to exist which jeopardized resident safety related to the facility's failure to provide adequate supervision of residents to prevent resident to resident altercations on the Hall 500 Locked Unit. Resident #16 exhibited assaultive behaviors towards resident #1, which caused injury to resident #1, on two separate occasions over an eight day period. On 12/01/14 the Oklahoma State Department of Health was notified and verified the Immediate Jeopardy situation. At 5:00 p.m., the Administrator and Director of Nursing were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy situation. At 8:40 p.m., an acceptable plan of removal was received. The Plan of removal documented the following: "Plan of Removal Claim of Immediate Jeopardy December 1, 2014 1. One staff member will be designated as a 'monitor' for the Dementia Unit to observe the common area and hallway; particularly when other staff members are providing care to residents in their rooms or in the shower room. This person will be referred to as the 'monitor'. Charge Nurse will be responsible to ensure that a monitor is designated and in-place for all shifts. A facility wide in-service to include Nursing (RN/LPN, CMA, C NA's (sic)) Housekeeping, Dietary, Maintenance, and Activities staff that may work on Hall 500/Dementia Unit as a monitor will be educated by noon, [DATE] about the new Abuse Investigations Policy, protecting resident and new procedure on monitoring residents. Staff members will not work on Dementia Unit until they have completed mandatory in-service, either in person or via telephone with witness. 2. Administrator and Department Heads (medical Records, Maintenance, Dietary, MDS Nurses, Activities, DON, and Business Office Manager) have been educated on the attached new Abuse Investigations Policy as potentially being investigators by [DATE]; 2300 (11:00 p.m.) hours. A modification was made whereby the Administrator will appoint a member of management to investigate alleged incidents. All were given the referenced policy to ready and follow. 3. A facility wide in-service to include Nursing (RN/LPN, CMA, C NA's (sic)), Housekeeping, Dietary, Maintenance, and Activities staff will be called in for mandatory In-Service and then sign that they have been educated on the new Abuse Investigations Policy and new procedure on monitoring residents on Dementia Unit. Staff will be encouraged to continue reporting any suspected abuse. Specifically, Staff will be told that an investigating officer will be assigned to conduct investigations. Nursing (RN/LPN, CMA, C NA's (sic)), Housekeeping, Dietary, Maintenance, And Activities Staff may be educated about the new Abuse Investigations Policy and new procedures on monitoring residents via telephone with a witness or in person. Facility staff to include Nursing (RN/LPN, CMA, C NA's (sic)), Housekeeping, Dietary, Maintenance, and Activities staff will be in-serviced by noon, [DATE] about new Abuse Investigations Policy, protecting residents and having a monitor in place to protect residents by being able to call for help. Staff members will not work until they have completed mandatory in-service, either in person or via telephone with witness. 4. All residents on Dementia Unit will be assessed by 2200 (10:00 p.m.) [DATE] for any suspicious injury. Should any be found, each will follow the new Abuse Investigations Policy to be investigated in an attempt to determine cause of injury. 5. Residents with assaultive behaviors will be identified in order to focus the assigned monitor. This is to be completed by 2300 (11:00 p.m.), [DATE]." On 12/02/14 at 3:30 p.m., the Immediate Jeopardy situation was removed after all components of the plan of removal had been completed. The deficient practice remained at an isolated level of actual harm. Based on clinical record review and staff interviews, it was determined the facility failed to provide adequate supervision to prevent resident to resident altercations for one (#1) of three sampled residents who had a history of [REDACTED]. This resulted in actual harm to resident #1 who received an injury of unknown origin. Resident #1 had bruising to his right upper arm and right lower leg from an altercation with resident #16, including an area that appeared as a suspicious mouth sized buise. Approximately eight days later resident #1 was assaulted again by resident #16 and received bruising to his right pinky finger, right side of the head, and abrasions to his left shoulder and right hip. After this incident, resident #16 admitted to hitting, biting and pushing the resident down. This also resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy situation to resident's safety on the Hall 500 Locked Unit, due to the facility's failure to provide supervision to prevent resident to resident altercations. This had the potential to affect all 30 residents identified by the facility who resided on the Hall 500 Locked Unit. Findings: A facility policy titled Abuse Investigations, documented: "Policy Statement All reports of resident abuse, neglect and injuries of unknown source shall be promptly and thoroughly investigated by facility management.

F221G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on clinical record review, staff interviews and review of facility policies and procedures, it was determined the facility failed to ensure a resident was free from restraints without a medical reason for the use of the restraint. Mitten restraints were being held on the resident's wrist with the use of duct tape for one (#3) of three sampled residents reviewed for the use of restraints. Improper use of duct tape resulted in actual harm to the resident. This had the potential to affect three residents who utilized restraints as identified by the facility.

F490K · Immediate jeopardy, pattern

On 06/29/12, an immediate jeopardy was determined to exist due to the facility's failure to have an effective administration who implemented the abuse policy and procedure for investigating allegations of abuse; protected residents from abuse; and acted upon the findings of an abuse investigation. At 2:10 p.m., the Oklahoma State Department of Health confirmed the existence of the immediate jeopardy situation. At 2:29 p.m., the administrator and director of nurses were informed an immediate jeopardy situation existed. On 06/29/12 at 5:20 p.m., an acceptable plan of removal was provided by the administrator. The plan of removal was as followed: "Staff education on abuse policy provided to all staff with focus on protecting residents from harm, investigating allegations of abuse, determining allegations of abuse, reporting allegations of abuse to appropriate agencies and following abuse policy. Completed 06/30/2012 @ 0900 All residents will be screened for inappropriate sexual behaviors, which included any history of behaviors and any precursors that may indicate potential for development of behaviors. Completed 6/30/12 @ 0900 screens completed by LPN's and RN's. Any resident identified with inappropriate sexual behaviors or patterns will be care planned. Completed 6/30/12 @ 0900 by LPN's and RN. Behavior and medication management is provided monthly and PRN by psychologist. Psych certified RN will see identified residents weekly for additional management of behaviors. A quality assurance sub-committee has been established to monitor compliance with facility abuse policy which includes but is not limited to protection of residents, investigations of any allegations, reporting to appropriate agencies including law enforcement, following policy. Sub-committee will meet weekly and review all incidents, allegations of misconduct and any rumors. Sub-committee will provide further training at least quarterly. Ensure abuse policy training with new employees completed with orientation. Completed 6/29/12 @ 3:45. A pre-screening evaluation will be completed prior to all admissions and will include review of : H&P, DOC reports, sex offender registry, medication review, and current caregivers and pre-admission evaluation. Started 2/29/12 and ongoing. Protection of the resident when abuse is alleged or actual will prevent harm to the resident as well as all residents. Protective actions will include but not limited to: Immediate suspension of accused employee with termination pending investigation, removal of resident accused of causing harm with 1 on 1 monitoring during investigation, limitation of care plan to prevent further harm and protect all residents involvement of law enforcement if criminal act." On 07/02/12 at 2:20 p.m., the immediate jeopardy for administration continued to be in effect due to failure to have identified and implemented procedures identifying residents who were at risk for resident to resident altercations in the secured unit. The facility also failed to have an effective administration who identified and implemented facility interventions to prevent recurrence of injuries caused by resident to resident altercations between cognitively impaired residents residing in the secured unit. On 07/02/12 at 4:38 p.m., an acceptable plan of removal was provided by the administrator for supervision to prevent resident to resident altercations on the secured unit. On 07/05/12 at 6:30 p.m., after reviewing all in-services, care plan updates and interviews with staff, the ADM was informed the immediacy had been lifted at 11:00 p.m. on 07/03/12, after all in-services had been completed. The deficient practice remained at a scope of actual harm at a pattern, until the facility is able to ensure a system is in place for administration to prevent the deficient practice from reoccurring. Based on observation, record review and interviews, it was determined the facility failed to have an effective administration who ensured: a. their abuse policy and procedure was followed for acting upon the findings of an investigation, protected residents from abuse, protected residents from other resident abuse and reported resident to resident abuse to OSDH and local law enforcement agencies. b. interventions were in place to aide in the prevention of injuries and resident to resident altercations between cognitively impaired residents. c. there was sufficient staff on the secured unit to provide care and services to the residents. d. the quality assurance program identified and implemented corrective measures on quality of care issues. Findings: A facility form titled, "Administrator Policy Statement" documented, "A licensed administrator is responsible for the day-to-day functions of the facility. The administrator is responsible for, but not limited to:...Ensuring that each resident's right to fair and equitable treatment...Implementing established resident care policies..." 1. The administrator failed to ensure the abuse policy and procedure was implemented for protecting residents, criminal acts were reported to the local law enforcement, allegations of abuse were reported to the Oklahoma State Department of Health and a thorough and complete investigation was conducted. This resulted in an immediate jeopardy and actual harm. This had the potential to affect 114 of 114 residents. Refer to F-224, F-225, and F-226. 2. The administrator failed to ensure there was sufficient staff for supervision on the secured unit to protect residents from injuries resulting from resident to resident altercations. This resulted in an immediate jeopardy and actual harm. This had the potential to affect 28 residents who resided in the secured unit. Refer to F -323. 3. The administrator failed to ensure there was sufficient staff to meet the needs of the residents who resided in the secured unit. This resulted in an actual harm. Refer to F-353. 4. The administrator failed to ensure the quality assurance program identified and implemented corrective measures on quality of care issues. This resulted in an actual harm and had the potential to affect 114 of 114 residents. Refer to F-520.

F520H · Actual harm, pattern

Based on observation, record review, and interviews, it was determined the facility failed to have an effective quality assurance program in place to identify problems and implement plans of action to correct deficient practice. The facility failed to identify and implement a plan of action to correct system failures related to: a. protecting an incapacitated female resident from a male resident with known inappropriate sexual behaviors, thoroughly investigate allegations of resident to resident sexual abuse, report findings in accordance to the local law enforcement and the Oklahoma State Department of Health, and implement their abuse policy to protect an incapacitated female resident from a male resident with known inappropriate sexual behaviors; b. supervision and implementation of measures to prevent resident to resident altercations for two (#3 and #8) of three sampled residents residing on the secured unit. This had the potential to affect 114 of 114 residents residing in the facility. Findings: A facility policy titled, "Quality Assurance-Internal Audit Policy" documented, "A committee of the whole shall be appointed to act as the Quality assurance Team. It shall review and audit all areas of the facility: ...Nursing...security...social services..."

3 findings
F226L · Immediate jeopardy, widespread

On [DATE], an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was determined to exist in regard to the facility's failure to implement their abuse policy to ensure an incident of neglect was prevented, identified and thoroughly investigated for a resident who was found non-responsive, with garbled speech, gurgled respirations and whose skin was cold to the touch. The resident had a temperature of 84.6 degrees Fahrenheit. On [DATE] at 3:30 p.m., the Oklahoma State Department of Health was notified. The immediate jeopardy situation was verified. At 3:36 p.m., the administrator and the director of nurses were notified of the IJ situation, which constituted substandard quality of care. At 4:26 p.m., an initial plan of removal for the IJ was presented to the survey team. At 4:35 p.m., the initial plan of removal was not accepted. At 4:59 p.m., a second plan of removal was submitted to the survey team. At 5:12 p.m., the second plan of removal was not accepted. At 5:36 p.m., a third plan of removal was submitted to the survey team. At 5:41 p.m., the third plan of removal was not accepted. At 6:38 p.m., the following plan of removal was presented to the survey team: "All incidents will be identified and thoroughly investigated and reported per state regulation. All staff will be in-serviced starting [DATE] at 6:00 p.m. Staff was started notification of in-service at 5:30 p.m. [DATE]. Staff will be in-serviced on what is required as a reportable to the DON (director of nurses) and/or designee. All licensed staff will be in-serviced on the importance of documentation and interventions in nursing notes. All staff will implement first response interventions (i.e. blankets, pillows, ice packs, etc...) Staff will not be allowed to work until they have been in-serviced. Each employee will be in-serviced over, Investigating Allegations of Neglect and Abuse. Conduct the investigation in accordance with established policy. Utilize the Abuse Prohibition Investigations Protocol to complete the task. Those who can't make it due to out of town or vacation will be in-serviced via telephone. Upon returning to work they will be again in-serviced and signed the in-service sheet. The telephone in-services will be documented by those who are giving the in-service and dated. Those employees who cannot be reached by 3 p.m. on [DATE] for inservice will be removed from schedule until they make the required inservice. The DON will come in at 10:30 pm on [DATE], 6:30 am [DATE] and 2:30 pm [DATE] to inservice staff. All staff will be in-serviced by [DATE]. DON or designee will monitor for compliance via incident report and DON will submit detailed summary of all reportable investigations to Administrator. Administrator or designee will follow up on investigation. All reports will be reviewed during morning administrative meetings that meet Monday thru Friday except for holidays. QA (quality assurance) committee will monitor the effectiveness of the plan by discussing and evaluating the interventions taken by staff. The first QA committee will begin [DATE]. The QA committee will meet monthly or as needed. During weather below 50 degrees and above 85 degrees all residents will be escorted outside during appropriate smoking or activity times. This weather would include rain, sleet, snow and ice. The keypad combination will be changed as needed. At time of incident the Administrator of DON was not notified that resident may or may not have been outside. 6:45 p.m." On [DATE] at 10:35 a.m., the administrator and DON were informed that the inservice provided to staff did not cover a plan to prevent another occurrence. The DON stated that she would re-inservice the staff on checking on residents in inclement weather, knowing where residents are and a plan to keep track of residents. On [DATE] at 4:20 p.m., the IJ was removed when all staff had been in-serviced on the following: "IN SERVICE DATE: [DATE] Staff will provide visual every 1 hour checks on resident when temperature falls below 40 and temperatures above 80. Key pad codes will be changed as needed. For memory care unit when residents taking their supervised smoke breaks, and supervised outdoor activities when the temperatures are below 40 and/or above 80 staff will provide a head count before going out and when reentry into building. Report any/all incidents to the DON (director of nurses)/Administrator as soon as possible. DON and Administrators phone numbers will be posted at both nurses stations and will be available to all staff." The deficient practice remained at a pattern level of actual harm.

On [DATE], an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was determined to exist in regard to the facility's failure to thoroughly identify, investigate and protect a resident from neglect for a resident who was found non-responsive, with garbled speech, gurgled respirations, and whose skin was cold to touch. The resident had a temperature of 84.6 degrees Fahrenheit. On [DATE] at 3:30 p.m., the Oklahoma State Department of Health was notified. The immediate jeopardy situation was verified. At 3:36 p.m., the administrator and the director of nurses were notified of the IJ situation, which constituted substandard quality of care. At 4:26 p.m., an initial plan of removal for the IJ was presented to the survey team. At 4:35 p.m., the initial plan of removal was not accepted. At 4:59 p.m., a second plan of removal was submitted to the survey team. At 5:12 p.m., the second plan of removal was not accepted. At 5:36 p.m., a third plan of removal was submitted to the survey team. At 5:41 p.m., the third plan of removal was not accepted. At 6:38 p.m., the following plan of removal was presented to the survey team: "All incidents will be identified and thoroughly investigated and reported per state regulation. All staff will be in-serviced starting [DATE] at 6:00 p.m. Staff was started notification of in-service at 5:30 p.m. [DATE]. Staff will be in-serviced on what is required as a reportable to the DON (director of nurses) and/or designee.

Each employee will be in-serviced over, Investigating Allegations of Neglect and Abuse. Conduct the investigation in accordance with established policy. Utilize the Abuse Prohibition Investigations Protocol to complete the task. Those who can't make it due to out of town or vacation will be in-serviced via telephone. Upon returning to work they will be again in-serviced and signed the in-service sheet. The telephone in-services will be documented by those who are giving the in-service and dated. Those employees who cannot be reached by 3 p.m. on [DATE] for inservice will be removed from schedule until they make the required inservice. The DON will come in at 10:30 pm on [DATE], 6:30 am [DATE] and 2:30 pm [DATE] to inservice staff. All staff will be in-serviced by [DATE]. DON or designee will monitor for compliance via incident report and DON will submit detailed summary of all reportable investigations to Administrator. Administrator or designee will follow up on investigation. All reports will be reviewed during morning administrative meetings that meet Monday thru Friday except for holidays. QA (quality assurance) committee will monitor the effectiveness of the plan by discussing and evaluating the interventions taken by staff. The first QA committee will begin [DATE]. The QA committee will meet monthly or as needed. During weather below 50 degrees and above 85 degrees all residents will be escorted outside during appropriate smoking or activity times.

At time of incident the Administrator of DON was not notified that resident may or may not have been outside. 6:45 p.m." On [DATE] at 10:35 a.m., the administrator and DON were informed that the inservice provided to staff did not cover a plan to prevent another occurrence. The DON stated that she would re-inservice the staff on checking on residents in inclement weather, knowing where residents are and a plan to keep track of residents. On [DATE] at 4:20 p.m., the IJ was removed when all staff had been in-serviced on the following: "IN SERVICE DATE: [DATE] Staff will provide visual every 1 hour checks on resident when temperature falls below 40 and temperatures above 80. Key pad codes will be changed as needed. For memory care unit when residents taking their supervised smoke breaks, and supervised outdoor activities when the temperatures are below 40 and/or above 80 staff will provide a head count before going out and when reentry into building. Report any/all incidents to the DON (director of nurses)/Administrator as soon as possible.
