F880L · Immediate jeopardy, widespread

Based on medical record review, review of hospital records, observation, staff interviews, interview with the Local County Health Department (LCHD), interview with the physician, review of a death certificate, review of the facility's Legionella bacteria prevention plan, review of email communications with the LCHD, review of facility policy and procedures, review of the Legionella risk assessment, and review of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website, the facility failed to follow their water management plan to ensure all shower heads were descaled semi-annually and flushes were completed weekly which resulted in elevated risk levels of Legionella bacteria in the facility's water system and exposure to the residents. This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy and the potential for serious life-threatening harm, negative health outcomes, and/or death when on [DATE] one resident (#100) was found to have increased effort of breathing, fatigue and generalized weakness, was sent to the emergency room (ER) for evaluation, tested positive for Legionella pneumonia in the hospital, and subsequently died on [DATE]. In addition, Resident #118 tested positive for the Legionella urine antigen on [DATE]. The facility's failure to have an effective water management program in place to monitor control measures to prevent the growth of potential Legionella in the water system affected two (#100 and #118) of four residents reviewed for Legionella and placed an additional 131 current residents at potential risk for Legionella bacteria exposure. The facility census was 133. On [DATE] at 11:13 A.M., the Administrator, Director of Nursing (DON) and Regional Clinical Director #111 were notified that Immediate Jeopardy began on [DATE] when Resident #100 exhibited a change in condition and was hospitalized on [DATE] due to labored breathing, fatigue, and generalized weakness and subsequently passed away on [DATE]. Admitting hospital diagnoses included sepsis, anemia, Legionella infection, pneumonia, acute kidney injury and possible chronic heart failure exacerbation. Review of the death certificate dated [DATE] revealed Resident #100 died on [DATE] at 3:06 A.M. with an immediate cause of death as acute renal failure, septic shock, and bacteremia. Review of the facility's Legionella preventative measures and interview with Maintenance Supervisor #221 revealed the facility was not completing weekly dead-end flushes (a length of water pipework closed at one end through which no water passes) and semi-annually descaling per facility policy. On [DATE] at 4:44 P.M., the LCHD communicated to the facility, that a resident who previously resided in the facility had tested positive for the Legionella urine antigen and passed away. The facility failed to implement immediate action to protect further residents from Legionella infection when public health made recommendations, which included restricting water usage or installing point-of-use filters, and to follow the current CDC guidance or current water management plan if already developed. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on [DATE] when the facility implemented the following corrective actions: On [DATE], Resident #100 was transferred to the hospital. On [DATE], upon notification of the positive urine antigen test regarding Resident #100, facility staff followed LCHD guidance in reviewing all resident's medical records who were diagnosed with pneumonia for the past three months. Residents #44, #48, #99, #118, #250, #251, #252, #253, #254, and #301 were identified to have been diagnosed with pneumonia in the past three months. On [DATE], the DON was made aware an additional resident (Resident #118) tested positive for the Legionella urine antigen. The facility's Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP) #900 reviewed the urine analysis results and determined no other treatment was warranted. On [DATE], water filters on ice machines and water fountains were serviced and cleaned by Service Company #500 according to manufacturer guidelines and preventative maintenance agreement. On [DATE], Maintenance Supervisor #221 and Maintenance Staff #166 descaled faucets and shower heads and completed dead leg flushes. On [DATE] and [DATE], the LCHD collected data points for water temperatures, PH levels and chlorine levels. On [DATE], the DON/designee reviewed all current residents with a respiratory assessment with no new respiratory concerns identified. On [DATE], an additional seven water samples were obtained for Legionella testing by a third party (Water Treatment Company #600) initiated by the Administrator. Water Treatment Company #600 will provide the facility with their results of the seven water samples in eight to 11 days. On [DATE], Maintenance Supervisor #221, Maintenance Staff #166 and Maintenance Staff #311 were provided education by the Administrator regarding descaling and flushing dead legs (a length of water pipework leading to a fitting through which water only passes infrequently where there is draw off from the fitting, providing the potential for stagnation) per the facilities water management policy. The Administrator will monitor the maintenance staff to ensure they are following the facility's Legionella prevention plan. Beginning on [DATE], Maintenance Supervisor #221/designee will audit water temperatures, chlorine levels and flush all dead legs two times a week for two months. Any concerns will immediately be reported to the Administrator and follow up with the Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) committee as needed. On [DATE], the Water Management Committee (WMC) met to review the proposed issues and concerns from the Ohio Department of Health Survey. The WMC (including the Administrator, DON, Maintenance Supervisor #221, and Medical Director #112) reviewed the facility's Legionella Risk Assessment and Control Measures, proposed Plan of Correction (POC) and root cause analysis (RCA). The WMC will meet twice a month for two months to review on-going Legionella testing, interim measures, audits completed, RCA corrective action items and POC status. Thereafter, the DON and Infection Control Preventionist (ICP) will report to the Quality Assurance Committee to assure that issues identified at the time of the survey are corrected. On [DATE] and [DATE], the DON/designee provided in-services to all staff, residents, and residents responsible parties regarding the water management program, Legionella screening symptoms, facility remediation measures, and the plan for continued water management. Beginning on [DATE], the DON/designee will complete daily respiratory monitoring assessments until the results of the water testing are received. The findings of the respiratory monitoring will be reviewed with the attending physicians and medical director as needed. On [DATE], the facility began utilizing bottled water. Residents #2 and #119, who resided in the former Residents #100 and #118's rooms (who tested positive for the Legionella urine antigen) were moved out of their rooms and were relocated in the facility. All ice in the ice machine was disposed of and the facility utilized bagged ice. Showers and baths were put out of service until the installation of point of use filters. No-rinse wipes (a pre-moistened, disposable wipe designed to clean and sanitize a surface without the need to rinse it with water afterwards) were provided to the residents for hygiene needs at that time. On [DATE], the facility engaged with Legionella Consultant #650 who reviewed the facility water management plan with the team and will provide 90-day point of use filters that will be installed facility wide by [DATE]. Beginning on [DATE], the DON/designee will complete audits three times a week regarding employee call-offs for four weeks for signs and any symptoms related to Legionella illness. Any concerns will immediately be reported to the Administrator and followed up on with the QAPI committee as needed. On [DATE], 20 additional water samples were obtained by Legionella Consultant #650. On [DATE], maintenance staff installed point of use filters on all water outlets (showers, sinks) in the facility. These filters were rated for 90-day efficacy from the date of installment. All water filters were inspected and then all sinks and showers were put back into service. Although the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on [DATE], the deficiency remained at Severity Level 2 (no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy) as the facility is still in the process of implementing their corrective action plan and monitoring to ensure on-going compliance.

ECHD Program Coordinator #113 confirmed he had sent guidance to the Administrator on [DATE], was notified of the email error, and resent it on [DATE] at 8:43 A.M. without issues. Interview on [DATE] at 11:32 A.M. with the DON and Regional Clinical Director #111 confirmed Resident #118 had a diagnosis of pneumonia, and confirmed Legionella is caused by aspiration of contaminated water. The DON confirmed Resident #118 has a history of aspiration. Interview on [DATE] at 3:00 P.M. with Physician #114, who completed Resident #100's death certificate, confirmed the diagnoses listed on Resident #100's death certificate could have been caused by Legionella bacterium. He also verified the resident was admitted with pneumonia, which could have contributed to the development of sepsis. Review of the undated Potable Water Systems Operation and Maintenance document as part of the facility's Legionella bacteria prevention plan revealed the task was to flush to drain all outlets that are used less than once per week. Purging one to three minutes, based on pipe supply length. Review of the Legionella environmental policy dated [DATE] revealed a confirmed case is one where the patient/resident has had a continuous inpatient stay of 10 or more days prior to illness onset. The facility's mission is to maintain policies ensuring actions are taken to identify infected patients/residents and reduce Legionella risk. Control measures include routine chlorine level testing, water temperature monitoring, flushing unused pipes, and monitoring conditions like water main breaks or equipment failures. Interim measures may include supplying bottled water, installing point-of-use filters, and relocating residents. Review of the Legionella clinical policy/procedure dated [DATE] revealed the facility's mission is to maintain policies ensuring actions are taken to identify infected residents and reduce Legionella infection risk. The DON or designee will collaborate with the local board of health on further actions, which could include using bottled water, discontinuing the ice machine, and utilizing filters on sinks and showers, as recommended by an outside consultant. Review of the Legionella risk assessment dated [DATE] revealed potential low use points, such as dead legs will increase stagnation and risk of bacterial growth. Recommendations made were to flush low use points and vacant units weekly to remove the volume of stagnant water to the connection point and draw water containing disinfectants into the line. Also, a recommendation is made to institute a procedure for routine flushing in vacant units and other hot water outlets deemed low use. Additionally, it is recommended to clean the showerhead and aerators on a semi-annual basis. Review of the CDC website at, https://www.cdc.gov/legionella/wmp/healthcare-facilities/water-mgmt-validation.html, revealed according to the CDC/Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee (HICPAC), healthcare facilities have two options for confirming that their water management program is working as intended including performing environmental sampling for Legionella and performing active clinical surveillance for infections due to Legionella. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00161885.

F686D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on medical record review, staff interviews, and review of the facility policy, the facility failed to ensure a resident's pressure ulcer was assessed and monitored and the treatment to the pressure ulcer was administered as physician ordered. This affected one (Resident #100) of three residents reviewed for pressure ulcer care. The facility census was 135 Findings include: Review of the closed medical record for Resident #100 revealed an admitted [DATE]. Diagnoses included encephalopathy, lack of coordination, muscle weakness, dementia, chronic kidney disease, and sacrococcygeal Deep Tissue Injury (DTI) (Purple or maroon area of discolored intact skin due to damage of underlying soft tissue. The area may be preceded by tissue that is painful, firm, mushy, boggy, warmer or cooler as compared to adjacent tissue). The resident was discharged on [DATE] to the hospital. Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #100 had severe cognitive impairment. Resident #100 was dependent on staff for toileting, upper and lower body dressing, and personal hygiene. Review of resident's initial nursing assessment dated [DATE] revealed there was no assessment of Resident #100's DTI on the sacrococcygeal. There was no description or measurements of the wound during Resident #100's stay at the facility. Review of Resident #100's care plan dated 02/22/24 revealed support and interventions for self-care deficit and actual and potential for impaired skin integrity related to fragile skin and DTI. Interventions for potential and actual skin impairment included to follow facility protocols for treatment of injury, monitor, document location size, and treatment of skin injury. Review of Resident #100's physician orders dated 02/16/24 revealed an order for the sacrococcygeal DTI blister: paint with betadine-soaked gauze over blistered/open area then apply zinc-based barrier ointment to general area four times daily and as needed (PRN) and an order for lower thoracic- lumbar spine: hydrocolloid dressings to protect prominent spinal bones every shift for protection. Review of Resident #100's Treatment Administration Record (TAR) from 02/17/24 to 02/23/24, revealed the physician ordered treatment to the sacrococcygeal DTI blister was not documented as being completed (blank signatures) ten times out of 28 opportunities on 02/20/24 at 9:00 A.M., 1:00 P.M., 5:00 P.M., and 9:00 P.M.; on 02/21/24 at 9:00 A.M., 1:00 P.M., and 5:00 P.M. and 02/22/24 at 9:00 A.M., 1:00 P.M., and 5:00 P.M Further The physician ordered treatment to the lower thoracic-lumbar spine was not documented as being completed (blank signatures) three times out of seven opportunities on 02/20/24, 02/21/24, and 02/22/24. Interview on 03/06/24 at 2:16 P.M. with the Director of Nursing, (DON) verified that blank signatures in the treatment administration record indicated a physician order was not completed per order. Interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #3 on 03/07/24 at 3:10 P.M. verified Resident #100's medical record did not contain an admission skin assessment with measurements of skin areas and a weekly measurements of each skin issue. Review of the facility policy titled Skin Care Program, dated 01/24/23, revealed upon admission, resident will have their skin assessed from head to tie by a professional nurse. Each area will be documented by the professional nurse on the illustration of documentation and measurements of skin area form. Weekly, a professional nurse needs to measure each skin issue and enter into Point Click Care (electronic medical record). This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Master Complaint Number OH00151682 and Complaint Number OH00150932. This is an example of continued non-compliance from the survey dated 02/08/24.

Interview on 02/05/24 at 1:26 P.M. with the DON revealed the resident had MASD that was resolved in October 2023. The DON revealed the MASD weekly skin and wound assessment was supposed to be closed as resolved in October 2023 but was not. She revealed CNP #345 documented the assessment on the MASD instead of the Stage II assessment. She revealed the MASD was closed, and the assessments were combined. The DON verified the lack of a comprehensive assessment of the wounds detailed on the 11/22/23 and 01/20/24 admission/re-admission evaluation. Review of the facility policy titled, Skin Care Program, last revised 01/14/23 revealed a Stage II pressure ulcer was defined a partial thickness skin loss involving epidermis, dermis, or both. The ulcer was superficial and presents clinically as an abrasion, blister, or shallow crater. Upon admission the residents would have their skin assessed from head to toe by a professional nurse. Each area would be documented by the professional nurse on the illustrations of documentation and measurements of skin area form. This information would be entered as appropriate into the electronic medical record (EMR). Notify the physician for orders and notify the authorized representative of the skin condition and orders accordingly. Weekly a professional nurse needs to measure each skin issue and enter the resident's EMR. Update the residents' plan of care as needed. When a new skin issue was noted, the nurse would measure the area initially and then every seven days until healed. All information would be entered into the EMR.

Interview on 03/29/17 at 6:47 P.M. with LPN #159 revealed she did know Resident #130 was on contact isolation for Cl-diff and verified she did not wear PPE while she provided care to the resident. Interview with STNA #153 on 03/29/17 at 5:52 P.M. revealed she knew Resident #130 was in isolation. The STNA had no knowledge of why the resident was on isolation. STNA #153 verified she put other residents at risk for transmitting the infection[DIAGNOSES REDACTED] to other residents she provided care to. Interview on 03/30/17 at 8:28 A.M., with LPN #6 verified after reviewing the video dated 02/24/16 she was not wearing PPE and stated she should have been wearing PPE. Interview on 03/30/17 at 8:51 A.M. with STNA #107 verified she knew Resident #130 was in isolation for[DIAGNOSES REDACTED] and she did not utilize the PPE when working with the resident. The STNA verified she should change gloves when moving to different parts of the body, and when you provide incontinence care and move to the face. The STNA stated she usually wore two pair of gloves, and would take a pair off when one became soiled. The STNA verified it was not the facility's practice to double glove. The STNA also verified she should have washed her hands prior to applying Resident #130's Chap Stick. On 03/29/17 at 9:07 A.M., the Corporate Nurse (CP) #200 confirmed the clean dressing was placed on Resident #130's bedside table on 02/23/17 by LPN #122 without a barrier. CP#200 said she would expect there to be a barrier. CP #200 also confirmed the LPN did not change her gloves or wash her hands. Review of the facility's infection control policy and procedure, dated 03/18/13 revealed the infection control program is to ensure the prevention and control of health care associated infections (HAI) for the protection of our residents, families and employees. The infection control process strives to improve the trends and patterns of significant infections. The facility will use a coordinated process, which includes guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) two tier isolation precautions, as follows, standard precautions and transmission based precautions, contact, droplet and airborne. The infection control program will be presented to all new employees during orientation and annually. The facility staff will follow standard precautions as observed daily during clinical rounds by the DON and/or designee. Compliance with infection control practices is measured and documented by staff evaluation utilizing clinical competences, observation of practices by the DON and/or designee. Review of the CDC recommendation for the prevention and spread of[DIAGNOSES REDACTED] revealed the elderly population is at the most at risk for contracting the infection[DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. C-diif is shed in feces and can be transmitted on any surface, device, or material (e.g., commodes, bathing tubs, and electronic rectal thermometers) that becomes contaminated with feces may serve as a reservoir for the[DIAGNOSES REDACTED] spores.[DIAGNOSES REDACTED] spores are transferred to patients mainly via the hands of healthcare personnel who have touched a contaminated surface or item. The CDC recommends any patient with known or suspected[DIAGNOSES REDACTED] infection be placed in contact isolation, in a private room and, if a private room was not available, these patients could be placed in rooms with other patients with the[DIAGNOSES REDACTED] infection. The use of gloves when entering patient's rooms and during care is recommended. Vigorous handwashing after removing gloves. Preventing contamination of the hands via glove use remains the cornerstone for preventing[DIAGNOSES REDACTED] transmission via the hands of healthcare workers. Use gowns when entering patients' rooms and during patient care. Dedicate or perform cleaning of any shared medical equipment. Continue these precautions until diarrhea ceases. Because[DIAGNOSES REDACTED] infected patients continue to shed organism for a number of days following cessation of diarrhea, some institutions routinely continue isolation for either several days beyond symptom resolution or until discharge, depending upon the type of setting and average length of stay. Implement an environmental cleaning and disinfection strategy, ensure adequate cleaning and disinfection of environmental surfaces and reusable devices, especially items likely to be contaminated with feces and surfaces that are touched frequently.

Review of information from the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) 2014, defined pressure ulcers as a localized injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue over a bony prominence, as a result of pressure, or pressure in combination with shear. The NPUAP recommends turning and repositioning all individuals at risk for pressure injury, unless contraindicated due to medical condition or medical treatments. Turn the individual into a 30-degree side lying position, and use your hand to determine if the sacrum is off the bed. Avoid positioning the individual on body areas with pressure injury. Continue to reposition an individual when placed on any support surface. Use a pressure redistributing chair cushion for individuals sitting in chairs or wheelchairs. Reposition weak or immobile individuals in chairs hourly. Cleanse the skin promptly after episodes of incontinence. Review of the facility's perineal care policy, last revised 04/16/13, indicated it was the facility's policy and procedure to provide cleanliness and comfort to residents, to prevent infection, skin irritation and to observe the resident's skin condition.
