Inspection of August 23, 2022
1 findingBased on the unprecedented global pandemic that resulted in the Presidential declaration of a State of National Emergency dated 03/13/20, review of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, observations, interviews, facility census review, and record review, the facility failed to conduct appropriate infection control practices by failing to ensure residents positive for COVID-19 did not cohort with residents who were negative for COVID- 19. This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy on 08/08/22 when the facility failed to implement effective practices to prevent the spread of COVID-19 when two residents positive for COVID-19 were discovered to have roommates who did not have COVID-19. The lack of effective infection control practice placed two residents (Resident's #36 and #43) at risk for serious life-threatening harm, complications and/or death related to the facility's failed practice of infection control. The facility census was 110. On 08/18/22 at 4:52 P.M., the Administrator was notified Immediate Jeopardy began on 08/08/22 when the facility did not move two COVID-19 negative resident's (Resident's #36 and #43) out of COVID-19 positive residents' (Resident's #49 and #58) rooms. The Immediately Jeopardy was removed on 08/19/22 when the facility implemented the following corrective actions: · On 08/18/22 at 6:00 P.M. Resident's #36 and #43 were moved to into a room together and placed in quarantine per policy. Residents #49 and #58 were moved into a room together and placed on transmission-based precautions. · 08/18/22 Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)'s #200 and #209 contacted the responsible parties for both Residents #36 and #43 and notified them of the room change and exposure. · On 08/18/22, LPN #209 audited all resident COVID-19 test results and verified no other COVID 19 positive residents resided in rooms with COVID-19 negative residents. · On 08/18/22 Registered Nurse (RN) #215 reviewed the facility's COVID-19 policies and determined the policies were within accordance with CDC recommendations and CMS guidance. · On 08/18/22, RN #215 reeducated the Director of Nursing (DON), RN #200 and LPN #209 on the facility's COVID-19 policies with special emphasis on the following: Residents who are positive for COVID-19 placed on transmission-based precautions in a room alone or cohorted only with another COVID-19 positive resident. Residents exposed to a COVID-19 positive roommate or another COVID-19 positive resident and not up to date on vaccinations will be placed in a private room in quarantine and tested . Residents who are exposed and up to date on vaccinations will not be placed in quarantine but will encouraged to wear source control and be tested . The responsible party of both the COVID-19 positive resident and the close contact will be updated. · On 08/18/22 the DON and LPN #209 completed a review of all residents in the facility to ensure all residents exposed or identified as close contacts that are not up to date on vaccines were placed in quarantine in accordance with the CDC recommendations. · On 08/18/22 RN #215 verified all current cases of COVID 19 were reported to the local health department. · On 08/19/22, the facility held an ad hoc Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) meeting with the Administrator, DON, RN's #200 and #215 and LPN #209 to discuss the above changes and plan of action. As of 08/19/22, the facility currently had four COVID 19 positive residents (Resident's #15 #42, #49 and #103). · On 08/19/22 the DON or designee will begin monitoring COVID 19 testing daily and verify any residents who test positive are placed in a private room on transmission-based precautions and the responsible party notified. The DON or designee will also monitor to ensure contact tracing or broad-based protocols are used to identify close contacts who are not up to date and ensure that those individuals are quarantined. · Interviews on 08/22/2 at 9:02 A.M. with LPN's #211 and #213, RN #210 and STNA #212 revealed all knew COVID 19 positive and negative residents were not to share a room. · Observation on 08/22/2 at 9:02 A.M. revealed Residents #49 and #58 roomed together and Residents #36 and #49 roomed together. Although the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 08/19/22, the facility remained out of compliance at Severity Level 2 (no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy) as the facility was still in the process of implementing their corrective action plan and monitoring to ensure on-going compliance. Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record for Resident #36 revealed an admitted [DATE] with diagnoses [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #36 had impaired cognition. Review of the immunization record revealed the resident refused the COVID-19 vaccine. Review of COVID-19 testing revealed the resident was tested on [DATE], 08/11/22, 08/15/22 and 08/18/22 and all results were negative. 2. Review of the medical record for Resident #43 revealed an admitted [DATE] with diagnoses [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . Review of the quarterly MDS 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #43 had impaired cognition. Review of the immunization record revealed she received her second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine on 11/04/21. Review of COVID-19 testing revealed the resident was tested on [DATE], 08/10/22, 08/11/22, 08/15/22 and 08/18/22 and all results were negative. 3. Review of the medical record for Resident #49 revealed an admitted [DATE] with diagnoses [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . Review of the quarterly MDS 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #49 had impaired cognition. Review of the nurses' notes revealed Resident #49 tested positive for COVID-19 on 08/10/22. 4. Review of the medical record for Resident #58 revealed an admitted [DATE] with diagnoses [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . Review of the quarterly MDS 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #58 had impaired cognition. Review of the nurses' notes revealed Resident #58 tested positive for COVID-19 on 08/08/22. Review of the facility census revealed Resident's #36 and #58 resided in the same room, and Residents #43 and #49 resided in the same room. On 08/08/22, Resident #58 exhibited signs and symptoms consistent with COVID-19 and was administered a rapid COVID-19 test which came back positive. Resident #58's roommate (Resident #36) was also administered a rapid COVID-19 test because of Resident #58's positive test, and the results came back negative. As of 08/18/22, Resident #36 remained in the same room as Resident #58. On 08/10/22, Resident #49 had complaints of a dry, scratchy throat. A rapid COVID-19 test was administered which came back positive. Resident #49's roommate (Resident #43) was administered a rapid COVID-19 test because of Resident #49's positive test, and the results came back negative. As of 08/18/22, Resident #43 remained in the same room as Resident #49. Interview on 08/18/22 at 4:22 P.M. with LPN #209 revealed Resident's #36 and #43 were offered to move to a different room but chose not to. There was no notification to the families/representatives their roommates were positive for COVID-19, and there was no policy for residents who tested positive for COVID-19 residing with a resident who was negative for COVID-19. They did not ask Residents #49 and #58 if they wanted to move rooms because that has always been their room and to move them would place other residents in the facility at risk for contracting COVID-19. Interview on 08/22/22 at 3:37 P.M. with Resident # 43's daughter revealed her mother has lupus and is very susceptible to illness. She would have wanted her mother moved immediately had she known her roommate tested positive for COVID-19. Review of the facility policy titled COVID-19 preventative measures and management protocol for Ohio, revised 07/01/22, revealed effective cohorting of residents as a core principle of COVID-19 prevention. Review of the CDC's Interim Infection Prevention and Control Recommendations to Prevent [CONDITION(S)]-CoV-2 Spread in Nursing Homes, updated 02/02/22, revealed ideally, a resident with suspected [CONDITION(S)]-CoV-2 infection should be moved to a single-person room with a private bathroom while test results are pending. Residents who are not up to date with all recommended COVID-19 vaccine doses and who have had close contact with someone with [CONDITION(S)]-CoV-2 infection should be placed in quarantine after their exposure, even if [CONDITION(S)] testing is negative. This deficiency substantiates Complaint Number OH 080.
