F689K · Immediate jeopardy, pattern

On 03/29/22, an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was determined to exist related to the facility's failure to ensure the resident received adequate supervision and assistive devices to prevent accidents. The facility documented interventions for falls which were not initiated or inconsistently applied. The multiple falls resident #2 incurred resulted in fractured cervical vertibrae and a closed head injury. On 03/29/22 at 3:15 p.m., the Oklahoma State Department of Health was notified and verified the existence of the IJ situation. At 3:24 p.m., the administrator was notified of the IJ situation. On 03/30/22 at 3:51 p.m., an acceptable plan of removal was submitted to the Oklahoma State Department of Health. The plan of removal documented: .1. A binder has been constructed to stay with Resident #2 at all times that will document all care and services provided, who provided the care and services and what date and time provided. This has been implemented as of 19:00 [7:00 p.m.] on Tuesday, March 29th .2. Every careplan for every resident that has had a fall since January 1, 2022 has been reviewed, and we have ensured all fall interventions are in place and current as of 10:00 [a.m.] on Wednesday, March 30th .3. Staff have either been in-serviced about the fall intervention binders and requirement to review and sign them before shifts in person or by phone if unable to come in person. This includes nursing staff, housekeeping staff, maintenance staff and dining services staff .4. One binder has been placed at each nurses' station and attached to the counter so that it cannot be removed .a. The DON and Resident Care Director will be responsible for the content placed in the binder and ensuring it matches any residents' care plans and any interventions in place .b. All staff will be educated about the existence of the binders and the requirement that they review and document that they reviewed the information in the binder before beginning their shift every shift .c. The DON will keep a separate monitoring file and do random, daily checks of each shift to ensure staff are reading and documenting that they are reading the binder updates .5. the DON will continue to perform or coordinate daily huddles to update staff about pertinent information related to falls and interventions .6. When a fall occurs the charge nurse will complete an incident report in our EMR which includes a root cause analysis .a. An intervention for the fall will also be put in to place immediately .b. The leadership team, which includes the MDS nurses, DON, Resident Care Director, Administrator, Assistant Administrator, Social Services Director, Therapy Director, Risk Management/Infection Prevention RN and Admission Director, will review the incident reports and interventions every morning and determine if the intervention is appropriate or not .c. The MDS Coordinators will update the residents' care plan accordingly .d. A member of the team will be assigned a red card that shows the resident's name and room number and the intervention that should be in place. It will be that person's responsibility to ensure that the intervention is in place appropriately .e. Once the intervention is in place appropriately, the red card will be returned to the next meeting for purposes of tracking and monitoring .f. The DON and/or Resident Care Director will update the desk binders to communicate to staff any pertinent fall interventions .7. A weekly fall committee meeting will also occur once weekly to include the same leadership group mentioned above .a. In this meeting we will go over all falls since the previous meeting and ensure that the interventions are still in place and working and document accordingly . The IJ was lifted, effective 03/31/22 at 4:00 p.m., when all components of the plan of removal had been completed. The deficiency remained at a level of actual harm at a pattern. On 03/31/22 and 04/04/22, interviews were conducted with facility staff, including nursing staff and therapy staff, regarding education and in-service information pertaining to the Immediate Jeopardy plan of removal.

She stated every incident report was reviewed by their team, consisting of the administrator, Director of Nursing, the risk manager, the admissions director, the two MDS coordinators, the assistant administrator, and therapy. She stated the team came up with interventions by looking at how the fall occurred and/or what caused the fall. She stated if the documentation of the incident was vague, either herself or the assistant administrator would investigate the cause of the fall and determine an appropriate intervention. She was asked how the facility monitored to ensure interventions were implemented. She stated on fridays she would check to see if the interventions were in place. She was asked how the facility monitored to ensure intangible interventions such as staff checking and toileting resident between 3:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m was conducted. She stated the Resident Care Coordinator added such interventions into the electronic medical record as a task the staff then must document toward. She was asked if anyone was responsible to ensure the interventions were completed. She stated she did not know if the interventions specifically were audited but knew the facility audited documentation and charting. She was asked what was the root cause of falls for resident #2. She stated the resident had a lot of falls at first due to her cognition. She stated, initially the facility did not recognize the resident's decreased cognition. She stated due to the frequency of agency staff use in the facility, interventions were not followed, resulting in repeated falls. She stated, when a fall occured because an intervention was not followed, the staff involved were in-serviced individually on the intervention. She stated facility wide there were 33 total falls in January but the number of falls increased to 43 total falls in February. The risk manager was asked why there was an increase in total resident falls between January and February. She stated the facility had not performed a root cause analysis for falls. She stated she grafted the falls to see if certain staff or shifts were prone to have more falls occur. She stated the 2-10 shift had more falls due to some residents experiencing increased confusion in the evening. She asked what the nurse staffing patterns were for the facility. She stated she was not involved and could not answer that. She stated the facility used a lot of agency nursing staff, especially CNAs, to cover shifts and thought this contributed to the over-all increase in resident falls. The risk manager was asked to review the December 2021 falls for resident #2. She stated the resident was admitted to the facility after contracting COVID and was placed in isolation in a room with a poor view of the resident from the hall. She stated after the resident's first fall, the facility judged the resident's cognition was adequate for signage to be an appropriate intervention. She stated staff were to check on her at specific times, provide assistance with toileting and other activities of daily living. She stated after another fall involving the resident's independent use of a walker, therapy was asked to remove the walker from the room after each session. She stated other interventions added included use of non-skid footwear and a fall mat. The risk manager was asked to review the January 2022 fall for resident #2. She stated the intial fall in January appeared to be from over extending while reaching for personal items so the facility added an intervention to keep personal items within reach, including the resident's phone. She stated after the fall on the 12th, the resident was to be kept in the common areas for observation. She stated the fall on the 17th resulted in a trip to the hospital. She stated the fall occured in the resident's room where the resident was not very visible to the staff in the hall so the facility changed her room. She stated when the resident fell on [DATE], the resident should have been in the common area but instead fell in her room so staff involved were re-educated on the resident's fall interventions. She stated another fall occured on 01/25/22 and a ceiling tile reminding the resident to call for assistance was added to the resident's room. She stated when the resident fell on [DATE], the resident should have been in the common area but instead fell in her room so staff involved were re-educated on the resident's fall interventions. The risk manager stated the resident was kept in the common area in February and did not fall. She was asked to review the falls for March 2022 for resident #2. She stated the last two falls had occured late in the evening and the resident fell out of bed. She stated the facility requested bolsters from hospice. She stated after investigating the two falls, the facility determined the resident had returned to her room and bed too early and the staff was re-educated to keep the resident out in the common area for observation. She was asked when the bolsters were in place on the resident's bed. She stated her flowsheet documented the bolsters were in place on 03/18/22. She was asked where the bolsters were located. She stated she did not know and had not been to the resident's room. She stated the DON had ordered the bolsters from hospice but she did not know when they were received. She was asked about the one on one staffing at all times for resident #2 and where the documentation for one on one staffing would be located. She stated she did not recall the resident being placed on one on one staffing. She was asked if the resident had incurred a fall with major injury. She stated the resident fell and fractured her cervical vertebrae. On 03/28/22 at 5:28 p.m., MDS Coordinator #1 was asked about the intervention for one to one staffing at all times for resident #2. She stated the resident fell and broke her neck. She stated the facility had a fall meeting and staff were supposed to have eyes on the resident at all times. She stated the intervention to staff the resident one on one at all times was the only safe thing to do in her opinion. On 03/29/22, no bolsters were observed on the resident's bed. On 03/29/22 at 10:15 a.m., resident #2 was observed in the common area with her cervical collar in place. The resident was reclined back in a recliner.

She stated frequent was vague and could mean anything. She stated they checked on all residents every two hours during rounds so frequently to her meant more often, in between rounds, maybe every hour. She was asked what the one on one at all times intervention meant. She stated typically if a resident was placed one on one, they would have a private sitter. She stated one on one meant that someone was physically with the resident at all times. She stated she had provided care to one on one residents in the past. She stated most of the residents determined to be a high fall risk were brought to the common area for observation and every two hours a CNA would reposition the resident and offer to toilet them. On 03/29/22 at 1:37 p.m., the Resident Care Director was asked if the resident had bolsters on her bed. She stated she knew the bolsters were delivered but did not see the bolsters on the resident's bed when she viewed the resident's room on 03/28/22 or 03/29/22. She stated she did not know where the bolsters were. She was asked why the there were so many resident falls in the facility. She stated the facility used a lot of agency staff and the agency staff did not know the residents and were not aware of their needs nor the care planned interventions. She stated while some agency staff constently worked in the facility, in general it was hard to provide consistency in care when agency staff were used. On 03/29/22 at 3:24 p.m., the administrator was informed of the Immediate Jeapardy determination. The administrator and DON were provided a verbal summation of the findings which resulted in the Immediate Jeapardy determination, including the intervention of one on one staffing which was not initiated.
