Review of the RI #1's ELOPEMENT/WANDERING REVIEW following the 12/11/2013 incident, when the resident was found in the facility parking lot, revealed RI #1 did not have a history of leaving the facility without need of supervision and leaving the facility without informing staff. This assessment concluded RI #1 was not at risk for elopement. The most recent RISK FOR ELOPEMENT/WANDERING REVIEW completed prior to the incident when RI #1 was hit by a vehicle and sustained a skull fracture, dated 10/19/2016, also documented RI #1 did not have a history of leaving the facility without need of supervision and leaving the facility without informing staff although staff reported the resident frequently left the building to go outside without supervision.

EI #7 said when RI #1 went from the facility porch to the parking lot without staff in 12/2013, it would be considered an elopement per facility policy.

EI #7 said RI #1's care plans should have been updated following the 12/11/2013 incident to include supervision when outside. EI #7 then said staff had not reported that RI #1 continued to go into the parking lot. She explained if staff observed RI #1 in the parking lot, they should have reported it to a nurse so the IDT could address it. When asked how RI #1's plan of care would have been affected if his/her behaviors were monitored and staff reported knowledge of RI #1 going into the parking lot, EI #7 said they would have implemented a secure care transmitter and staff supervision.

An observation was made on 11/09/2016 at 9:01 a.m., of the two front porches and entrance ways into the facility. The main front entrance had a covered porch with a wide walkway extending towards the parking lot, this walkway was 31 feet in length and 8 feet in width. There was a small side walk that extended off the large walk way. This side walk turning left off the wide walk way extended 15 feet and was 4.5 feet wide. Adjacent to this sidewalk was the asphalt parking lot. From the sidewalk to the next front porch area was 74 feet of asphalt parking lot, with parking spaces on both sides of the parking lot. The resident had rolled their wheelchair to the first parking spot next to this sidewalk and was parked behind the truck that struck him. An interview was conducted on 11/9/2016 at 5:38 p.m., with EI #5, the facility Medical Director. EI #5 was asked to explain the incident which occurred on 10/28/2016 related to RI #1. EI #5 stated he was making rounds and a nurse summoned him and said a resident was outside in the parking lot. The nurse informed him the resident was hit by a truck and knocked out of a wheelchair. The resident was dazed with no distress, an abrasion on the forehead. The resident would follow simple commands. EI #5 was informed the resident was unconscious, but by the time he saw the resident, RI #1 was responsive, dazed, and not usual self. EI #5 was asked if RI #1 was having any hearing impairment prior to the accident. EI #5 stated he did not recall this being an issue for this resident prior to the incident. Prior to the incident the resident had confusion. EI #5 was asked what was the level of impairment for this resident at this time related to the resident's hearing loss. EI #5 replied he knew it started in the hospital after the incident. There is a very significant loss attributed to the skull fracture extending to the base of the brain. EI #5 was asked if he was aware of the RI #1 going out into the parking lot at will and unsupervised, traveling from one porch to the other porch. EI #5 replied no. EI #5 was asked if there should have been concern for the resident being unsupervised outside. EI #5 replied probably when resident showed increased confusion, like with a urinary tract infection, which the resident had frequently. If there was increased confusion the resident should not be outside unsupervised. There was an increased potential for injury or an accident. EI #5 stated if the resident did not have increased confusion, he would expect someone to check on him/her every 5 -10 minutes. EI #5 was asked if there a change in RI #1's mental alertness and confusion after the incident on 10/28/2016. EI #5 replied, yes, for about 36 hours, then the RI #1 returned to the resident's normal status. EI #5 was asked how significant was the linear fracture to the right occipital skull. EI #5 replied usually with a basil skull fracture there was a slow return to normal. EI #5 stated he did not know if the hearing loss would be resolved or permanent. EI #5 was asked if he would have expected supervision for RI #1 and what kind of supervision. EI #5 replied yes, and if confused, should have had full supervision and if not confused, then at least intermittent supervision. On 11/10/2016 at 10:51 a.m., EI #2, the Administrator, and EI #1, the DON (Director of Nursing), met with the surveyor regarding to RI #1. EI #2 stated RI #1 was not easy to deal with and had multiple behavior issues. RI #1 also had several psychiatric admissions. EI #2 stated RI #1 loved to go outside and sit in the sun. The parking lot issue started about 3 years ago. EI #2 stated RI #1 was instructed not to go into the parking lot. EI #2 stated on 10/28/2016 RI #1 decided to change from one porch to the other porch. RI #1 was a very difficult resident to work with at times. At this point, the surveyor pointed out RI #1 had been care planned in 2013 for not going into the parking lot. EI #2 replied RI #1 liked the sun better on the other end of the facility, therefore RI #1 moved to the other porch area. Some days RI #1 was outside all day long. EI #2 stated RI #1 was monitored by the staff off and on. The surveyor asked EI #2 and EI #1 if RI #1 and other residents were allowed outside without supervision of any kind. EI #1 replied yes. The surveyor asked how long residents were outside before they were checked/supervised by staff. EI #1 replied, I guess up to a maximum of 2 hours. EI #1 stated, They talked to (RI #1) and instructed (him/her) not to go into the parking lot, it was unsafe for him. This behavior was added to the care plan, but not new interventions added. No incident report found for this date (12/11/2013) Review of the RI #1's ELOPEMENT/WANDERING REVIEW following the 12/11/2013 incident, when the resident was found in the facility parking lot, revealed RI #1 did not have a history of leaving the facility without need of supervision and leaving the facility without informing staff. This assessment concluded RI #1 was not at risk for elopement. The most recent RISK FOR ELOPEMENT/WANDERING REVIEW completed prior to the incident when RI #1 was hit by a vehicle and sustained a skull fracture, dated 10/19/2016, also documented RI #1 did not have a history of leaving the facility without need of supervision and leaving the facility without informing staff although staff reported the resident frequently left the building to go outside without supervision. During an interview with EI #7, Registered Nurse (RN)/MDS Co-Coordinator, on 11/10/2016 at 2:00 p.m., EI #7 stated they completed Elopement/Wandering Risk Assessments upon admission, quarterly and if anything changes. She explained the facility determined if someone was at risk for elopement/wandering, if they were exit seeking, asking to go home, or have a history in the past. After reviewing the facility policy, EI #7 defined an elopement as a situation in which a resident leaves the premises or a safe area without authorization and/or necessary supervision. She then said when RI #1 went from the facility porch to the parking lot without staff in 12/2013, it would be considered an elopement per facility policy. She said after reviewing the facility policy, it would change the outcome of RI #1's 10/19/2016 assessment, making RI #1 at risk for elopement. She further explained had the assessment been accurate, they would have revised RI #1's care plan to include a secure care transmitter and required staff supervision when outside. EI #7 said the 10/28/2016 incident could have been avoided if someone had been with RI #1 outside. An interview was conducted with EI #9, a CNA, on 11/10/2016 at 2:35 p.m .
