Hospital records documented upon arrival to the hospital, the resident was found to be in septic shock, most likely from a stage IV sacral decubitus ulcer. The ulcer was found to measure 7.6 cm x 7.8 cm, with the distal sacrum and proximal coccyx exposed, and osteo[DIAGNOSES REDACTED] could not be excluded. The resident subsequently required intravenous antibiotic treatment of [REDACTED]. At 12:13 p.m., the Oklahoma State Department of Health verified the existence of the IJ situation. At 12:17 p.m., the administrator and Director of Nursing were notified of the IJ situation related to the facility's failure to have competent nursing staff to care for a resident with pressure ulcers. On 03/29/18 at 12:07 p.m., an acceptable plan of removal, with addendum, was provided. The plan of removal documented, On 03/28/18 an Immediate Jeopardy was called by the surveyor due to concerns in the areas of Pressure Ulcer assessment and treatment and Nurse Competency. Based on the concerns identified, the following plan of action was implemented. Resident was admitted on [DATE] with a stage 4 pressure to his sacrum. Treatment orders were obtained on 03/13/18 but the nurse failed to code the order correctly and the treatment did not fire to the electronic TAR therefore it was not documented as being completed. On 03/15/18 the orders were changed and the treatment was documented correctly. On 03/20/18 orders were changed again but resident was discharged to the hospital. On return from the hospital the treatment orders did not get transcribed. Resident discharged from facility on 03/23/18. 1. On 03/28/18 skin assessments were started on 100% of the residents and will be completed by 12am 03/29/18. Complete head to toe assessments will be completed by the Director of Nurses (DON) ADON, MDS Coordinators and Charge Nurses. In accordance to facility standard of practice. The physician and responsible party will be notified of any new skin problems if identified with treatment orders for wound obtained and transcribed appropriately. Director of Nursing and ADON were reeducated by the Divisional Quality Manager on 03/28/18. Training will include documentation, assessment, proper staging of pressure areas, measurement and management of pressure and non-pressure areas and communication with attending physician and/or wound care physician with any changes in wound condition and receiving and transcribing treatment orders appropriately. Re-education was started on 03/28/18 by the DON and ADON for all Licensed Nurses currently employed. Training will include documentation, assessment, proper staging of pressure areas, measurement and management of pressure and non-pressure areas and communication with attending physician and/or wound care physician with any changes in wound condition and receiving and transcribing treatment orders appropriately. Reeducation will be completed by 8am 03/29/18. Any nurse who is on vacation or leave of absence will not be allowed to work until education is received. All new nurses will receive education prior to working on the floor on above plan. All current resident's orders were reviewed for proper coding and transcription on 3/28/18 by the DON and corrections made if indicated. All resident's charts were checked by medical Records for telephone orders written to ensure they were transcribed and coded accurately in the Electronic Record and will be completed by 5pm on 03/28/18. 2. DON, ADON, MDS nurse and Administrator will review Treatment Administration Record for all Pressure Ulcers at the Daily Clinical Start up meeting to ensure that documentation is accurate as of 03/29/18. All new treatment orders written will be reviewed by DON and/or ADON during Daily clinical Meeting to ensure proper transcription and coding. Weekly skin assessments will be reviewed by DON/ADON during weekly Clinical QA Meeting for 4 weeks and monthly for 2 months to ensure compliance starting 03/29/18. 3. Administrator will have an off cycle QA Meeting with QA Committee and Medical director by 03/29/18. QA Committee will review above plan monthly for 3 months and make revisions if indicated. 4. Addendum to Plan 3/29/18 at 12:02 Re-education was started on 03/29/18 by the DON and ADON for all Licensed Nurses currently employed. Training will include documentation, assessment, proper staging of pressure areas, measurement and management of pressure and non-pressure areas and communication with attending physician and/or wound care physician with any changes in wound condition and receiving and transcribing treatment orders appropriately. Reeducation will be completed by 03/29/18 . The immediate jeopardy was removed on 03/29/18 at 4:15 p.m., when all components of the plan of removal were carried out. The deficient practice remained at a pattern of actual harm. Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to: ~ ensure staff was competent in caring for two (#1 and #4) of four sampled residents who had pressure ulcers. The facility identified six residents as having pressure ulcers; and ~ ensure staff was competent in caring for one (#4) of three sampled residents whose records were reviewed and who developed respiratory concerns. The facility identified 83 residents as residing at the facility. Findings: 1.

F686K · Immediate jeopardy, pattern

On 03/28/18, an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was determined to exist related to the facility's failure to have an effective system for the care of a resident with a pressure ulcer. The facility failed to implement medical interventions to promote the healing of pressure ulcers; conduct accurate and thorough pressure ulcer assessments; and ensure competent nursing staff to care for residents with pressure ulcers. The resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with one stage II pressure ulcer on the right buttock that measured 5 cm x 4 cm, per hospital records dated 03/12/18. The resident was sent to the hospital on [DATE]. Hospital records documented upon arrival to the hospital, the resident was found to be in septic shock, most likely from a stage IV sacral decubitus ulcer. The ulcer was found to measure 7.6 cm x 7.8 cm, with the distal sacrum and proximal coccyx exposed, and osteo[DIAGNOSES REDACTED] could not be excluded. The resident subsequently required intravenous antibiotic treatment of [REDACTED]. At 12:13 p.m., the Oklahoma State Department of Health verified the existence of the IJ situation. At 12:17 p.m., the administrator and Director of Nursing were notified of the IJ situation related to the facility's failures in caring for a resident with pressure ulcers. On 03/29/18 at 12:07 p.m., an acceptable plan of removal, with addendum, was provided. The plan of removal documented, On 03/28/18 an Immediate Jeopardy was called by the surveyor due to concerns in the areas of Pressure Ulcer assessment and treatment and Nurse Competency. Based on the concerns identified, the following plan of action was implemented. Resident was admitted on [DATE] with a stage 4 pressure to his sacrum. Treatment orders were obtained on 03/13/18 but the nurse failed to code the order correctly and the treatment did not fire to the electronic TAR therefore it was not documented as being completed. On 03/15/18 the orders were changed and the treatment was documented correctly. On 03/20/18 orders were changed again but resident was discharged to the hospital. On return from the hospital the treatment orders did not get transcribed. Resident discharged from facility on 03/23/18. 1. On 03/28/18 skin assessments were started on 100% of the residents and will be completed by 12am 03/29/18. Complete head to toe assessments will be completed by the Director of Nurses (DON) ADON, MDS Coordinators and Charge Nurses. In accordance to facility standard of practice. The physician and responsible party will be notified of any new skin problems if identified with treatment orders for wound obtained and transcribed appropriately. Director of Nursing and ADON were reeducated by the Divisional Quality Manager on 03/28/18. Training will include documentation, assessment, proper staging of pressure areas, measurement and management of pressure and non-pressure areas and communication with attending physician and/or wound care physician with any changes in wound condition and receiving and transcribing treatment orders appropriately. Re-education was started on 03/28/18 by the DON and ADON for all Licensed Nurses currently employed. Training will include documentation, assessment, proper staging of pressure areas, measurement and management of pressure and non-pressure areas and communication with attending physician and/or wound care physician with any changes in wound condition and receiving and transcribing treatment orders appropriately. Reeducation will be completed by 8am 03/29/18. Any nurse who is on vacation or leave of absence will not be allowed to work until education is received. All new nurses will receive education prior to working on the floor on above plan. All current resident's orders were reviewed for proper coding and transcription on 3/28/18 by the DON and corrections made if indicated. All resident's charts were checked by medical Records for telephone orders written to ensure they were transcribed and coded accurately in the Electronic Record and will be completed by 5pm on 03/28/18. 2. DON, ADON, MDS nurse and Administrator will review Treatment Administration Record for all Pressure Ulcers at the Daily Clinical Start up meeting to ensure that documentation is accurate as of 03/29/18. All new treatment orders written will be reviewed by DON and/or ADON during Daily clinical Meeting to ensure proper transcription and coding. Weekly skin assessments will be reviewed by DON/ADON during weekly Clinical QA Meeting for 4 weeks and monthly for 2 months to ensure compliance starting 03/29/18. 3. Administrator will have an off cycle QA Meeting with QA Committee and Medical director by 03/29/18. QA Committee will review above plan monthly for 3 months and make revisions if indicated. 4. Addendum to Plan 3/29/18 at 12:02 Re-education was started on 03/29/18 by the DON and ADON for all Licensed Nurses currently employed. Training will include documentation, assessment, proper staging of pressure areas, measurement and management of pressure and non-pressure areas and communication with attending physician and/or wound care physician with any changes in wound condition and receiving and transcribing treatment orders appropriately. Reeducation will be completed by 03/29/18 . The immediate jeopardy was removed on 03/29/18 at 4:15 p.m., when all components of the plan of removal were carried out.

She was asked how she monitored to ensure physician orders were put into the computer system. She stated they went through orders every morning. The DON was asked why resident #4 did not receive the pressure ulcer treatments as ordered by the physician. She stated, My understanding is they didn't want it to open. She stated the resident was really hospice appropriate. She was asked where that information was documented. She stated, It probably isn't documented. She stated there was no order for Santyl. The surveyor provided the order for the DON's review. The DON was asked why the wound assessment, dated 03/12/18 and signed electronically by herself, documented measurements, a treatment of [REDACTED]. She stated she did not do the wound assessment. She stated, I did a nurses' note on him. She was asked where that was documented. She reviewed the clinical record and stated she could not find the note.

F323J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

On 01/29/14, an Immediate Jeopardy was determined to exist in regard to the facility's failure to provide supervision to prevent elopement. On 01/29/14 at 5:05 p.m., the Oklahoma State Department of Health confirmed the existence of the Immediate Jeopardy. On 01/29/14 at 5:10 p.m., the Administrator and the Director of Nursing were informed of the existence of the Immediate Jeopardy. On 01/29/14 at 5:55 p.m., an acceptable plan of removal was provided by the administrator. The plan of removal was as follows: "Plan of Correction to Remove Immediate Jeopardy for Supervision to Prevent Elopement 1. Director of Nursing will use device to check Wanderguard unit on each resident that is currently in-house that is at risk for elopement ensuring the unit functions properly by 6:30 p.m. on January 29, 2014. 2. She will record this test on a Daily Transmitter Log Form. This log includes the Transmitter Expiration Date for each resident with a Wanderguard. 3. Staff will be in-serviced on the Facility Elopement Policy and the Daily Transmitter Log Documentation Form by 6:30 p.m. on January 29, 2014. 4. Day Shift Charge Nurse for each hall will check each resident with a Wanderguard unit for proper functionality. This check will be documented on the Daily Transmitter Log Documentation Form. Follow up will take place immediately, as warranted on any Wanderguard unit that may not be functioning properly. 5. The Daily Transmitter Documentation Form will be turned into the Director of Nursing or designee at the end of the shift to ensure compliance." On 01/30/14 at 2:27 p.m., after interviews with staff, review of inservices, and observations of wanderguard functioning, the administrator was informed the immediacy had been lifted on 01/30/14 at 2:27 p.m. The deficient practice remained at no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm at a pattern. Based on record review, observation, and interviews, it was determined the facility failed to provide adequate supervision to prevent elopement for one (#1) of ten (#1 and #3 through #10) sampled residents who were at risk for elopement. The facility failed to: ~ Check placement of the wandergard every shift, ~ Check function and expiration date of the wandergard everyday, ~ Take the resident to the door every week to ensure function of the wandwegard bracelet, ~ Reassess for the need of further intervention to prevent elopement, ~ Obtain physician's orders for the wandergard placement when assessed for the need of a wandergard, and ~ Perform quarterly assessments on residents with wandergard placement. This had the potential to affect ten residents who were identified by the facility as being at risk for elopement. Findings: A facility policy documented, "...Resident Elopement Policy, OBJECTIVE: To identify residents who are at risk for elopement and interventions are put into place to prevent elopement. Admissions: All residents will be assessed on admission by the admitting nurse for risk factors that would place the resident at risk for elopement. This will be completed using the AHT assessment form (this form identified by the facility as their Elopement Risk Assessment). If the resident triggers for elopement risk, the admitting nurse will determine appropriate interventions which may include placement of a wanDergard on the patient. Orders for a code alert will be written as follows: Wandergard placement Check placement of wandergard every shift Check function and expiration date of wandergard every day. Staff to take resident to door every week to ensure function. All new admissions who are identified at risk for elopement and have a code alert placed will have their picture taken and be placed in the elopement book. ASSESSMENTS: All residents will be reassessed quarterly by the social services director for potential for elopement. This will be done using the AHT elopement risk assessment. A resident who is identified as potential risk will be assessed for need of wandergard placement. Any residents with elopement attempts will be reassessed immediately for need of further intervention to prevent elopement. Elopement Book: The center will keep an elopement book at a nurse station. The book should contain information of the residents who are identified at being at risk for elopement. Each resident's page should include resident's name, current picture, height, weight, hair color, eye color, any scars or identifying marks, and nicknames. This should be validated monthly by the social services director to be updated and accurate. A copy of this audit should be turned into the administrator by the 15th of the month. DRILLS: All facility staff shall demonstrate an understanding and competency in the implementation of the elopement policies and procedures. Resident elopement drills will be held once a quarter. The facility will document the implementation of the drills." 1. Resident #1 was admitted to the facility with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. An elopement risk assessment, dated 01/11/14, documented, "...Interventions: Date Initiated 01/10/14 Frequent monitoring..." A social service's admission evaluation, dated 01/13/14, documented, "...

On 07/09/13, an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was determined to exist regarding the facility's failure to maintain safe hot water temperatures on four of four halls. Seven resident rooms and one shower room had hot water temperatures that exceeded 126 degrees Fahrenheit (F.) and were up to 142.5 degrees. At 9:52 a.m., The Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) was notified and verified the existence of the IJ situation. At 9:55 a.m., the administrator and DON were informed of the IJ situation related to hot water temperatures and that a plan of removal was required. They were informed this placed the facility in an extended survey. At 4:05 p.m., an acceptable plan of removal was received from the administrator. The plan of removal documented, ">Survey team informed Administrator and DON of high water temperatures in Rooms 205 (142.5), 201 (141.4), 200 (138.1), 206 (137.1), 208 (134), Shower room on Hall 400 (128.3), 307 (127.4), 106 (106.2) (126.2), and past documented temperatures in Hall 400 shower. 10am >The Administrator met with the DON and Maintenance Director. 10:05 am >The Maintenance Director and Administrator made calls and had the plumber on site assist us with the mechanical temperature gauge issue. 10:15 am >Plumber begins adjusting temperatures. 10:20 am >Plumber and Maintenance Director begin tour to check all specified rooms. 10:20 am >The DON formulated an Inservice plan and met with affected Hall staff on the 100, 200, 300 and 400 halls. 10:30 am - 11:00 pm (a.m.) >The inservice described for staff how to redirect affected residents to other water locations until their immediate room water was at a safe temperature. (10:30 - 11:00 a.m.) 1. The hot water in the following rooms must not be used until staff have been advised or redirected that the water is at the safe temperature. 1a. Room -205 1b. Room 201 1c. Room 200 1d. Room 206 1e. Room 208 1f. Hall 400 -Shower room 1g. Room 307 1h. Room 106 2. Additional precaution for the safety of the residents and staff - staff must FIRST FEEL each water location for COMFORT AND SAFETY prior to use (hand-wash, bath, etc.). 3. If water (hot-water) temperature feels hot, uncomfortable, or unsafe, STOP; and do not use the water from the room or site, or shower-room; notify MAINTENANCE immediately. 4. For the safety of the residents and staff as well, it is important that staff be aware of the danger of burning from hot water. >Maintenance Director is making (rounds) every 15 minutes, 1 room per hall monitor of water temperature. He will then move and do one room on another hall. The room checked will be both those listed by the survey team and others. 10:35 am - present. >Hot water from boiler drained and cooled by adding cold water. >Existing mixing valve being replaced today. >The maintenance director has replaced his water temperature monitor with a Taylor monitor and the old device has been disposed of. 2:00 - Present I would like to point out that the center was on emergency generator from 12:30 pm (a.m.) to 2:45 pm (a.m.) last night with power around the Center in the Warr acres community and Warr Acres itself, losing power. The generator worked fine. Coming back on full outside power may contribute to this excessive hot water. Regardless, the safety of our residents is uppermost. We will monitor these corrective steps daily..." The plan of removal was signed by the administrator. At 6:15 p.m., the administrator presented an addendum to the plan of removal. The addendum documented, "Commencing at 6:30 pm, on 7/9/13, a nursing staff trained by the Maintenance Director s (sic) will on the half-hour and hour, throughout the night, record water temperature in one room randomly on a hall, rotating through each hall, on the half-hour or hour. At shift change, the 2pm - 10pm staff will train their replacement on 10pm -6am shift. Our Maintenance Director will take over at 6am. The Maintenance Director will conduct water temperature checks every hour over the next 4 hours, to monitor consistency..." The addendum was signed by the administrator. On 07/10/13 at 7:50 a.m., the administrator provided documentation to show the plan of removal and addendum had been implemented as described. The administrator provided documentation ensuring all staff had been inserviced on hot water temperatures and reporting. At 3:15 p.m., the administrator provided additional documentation showing continuing monitoring of the hot water temperatures. Staff were interviewed on 07/10/13 in regards to their knowledge of the inservices, to ensure their understanding of all aspects of the plan of removal. The IJ was removed effective 07/09/13 at 6:30 p.m. when it was determined the hot water temperatures in the facility had fallen below 115 degrees Fahrenheit consistently and all components of the plan of removal and addendum had been completed. The deficient practice remained at the potential for more than minimal harm at a pattern. Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to: A. Ensure water temperatures were maintained at safe levels and were not an accident hazard on four (halls 100, 200, 300, and 400) of four halls. Seven resident rooms and one shower room had hot water temperatures that exceeded 126 degrees F. and were up to 142.5 degrees F. This resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy situation. This had the likelihood to affect 86 of 87 residents who resided at the facility. One resident was bedfast most or all of the time; B. Ensure sharps containers on two (hall 100 and hall 200) of four halls were not overflowing with used syringes and finger stick blood sugar lancets and accessible to residents. The facility identified one resident who wandered about the facility but did not pilfer; and C. Ensure one flooring transition on one (Hall 200) of four halls did not create an accident hazard for residents. Findings: 1. Review of water temperature logs revealed the following temperatures (all temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit): 06/20/13 - room 104 - 122.4; hall 200 shower - 122.2 and sink - 124.9; room 209 - 123.4; hall 300 shower room sink - 121.5; room 303 - 121.3; hall 400 shower room sink - 126.1; room 407 - 124.8; 06/23/13 - hall 200 shower room sink - 122.1; hall 300 shower room sink - 127.6; 06/25/13 - hall 200 shower room sink - 123.1; hall 300 shower room sink - 124.9; 06/26/13 - hall 200 shower - 121.4 and sink - 122.2; room 205 - 121.9; hall 300 shower room sink - 128.3; room 301 - 125.5; and 07/05/13 - Room 105 - 121.4; hall 200 shower room sink - 120.4; hall 300 shower room sink - 120.3; hall 400 shower - 121.4 and sink - 122.6. On 07/09/13 at 9:00 a.m. the following temperatures were observed: Room 106 - 126.2, Room 200 - 138.1, Room 201 - 141.4, Room 205 - 142.5, Room 206 - 137.1, Room 208 - 134.0, Room 307 - 127.4, and Shower room Hall 400 - 128.3. At 9:05 a.m., resident #8, who resided in room 200, stated the water was hot. She stated cold water had to be used. At 9:19 a.m., resident #112, who resided in room 106 stated the water was "too hot to just have the hot water on." He stated it had to be adjusted. At 9:33 a.m., resident #34, who resided in room 208, stated the water was hot but could be adjusted. At 9:43 a.m., the maintenance supervisor was asked how often and when he monitored for hot water temperatures. He stated he monitored daily, mainly in the afternoon. He stated he monitored random rooms. The maintenance supervisor was asked what temperature range he attempted to maintain. He stated, "Between 112 and 115." He was asked if there had been episodes of the temperatures being higher. He stated yes, usually when no one had showered. The maintenance supervisor was asked if he adjusted the mixing valve when the higher temperatures were noted. He stated no. He stated he did not adjust the mixing valve because he had to keep boiler temperatures up because of the laundry. The maintenance man was asked how he obtained temperatures. He stated he used a laser thermometer and aimed it at the drain base in the sink. On 07/12/13 at 4:44 p.m., the administrator was asked if he had identified any concerns with hot water temperatures. He stated, "No." He stated he still had some questions as to whether a power outage and the use of the facility's generator had caused the water temperature spike. 2. On 07/08/13 at approximately 4:30 p.m., the 200 hall treatment cart sharps container was observed to be overflowing with used finger stick lancets. The lid could not be closed. At 4:35 p.m., the 100 hall treatment cart sharps container was observed to have one insulin syringe, with the safety cover in place, laying on the cover of the container. The lid of the sharps container could not be closed. At approximately 5:00 p.m., LPN #3, who was in charge of the 100 and 200 hall treatment carts, was asked when he changed sharps containers. He stated, "When they get full." He was asked if the sharps containers were full. He stated he could not remember how full the sharps containers had been. LPN #3 was asked when he was going to change the sharps containers. He stated he would change them when he had completed his finger stick blood sugar checks. 3. On 07/08/13 at 4:41 p.m. resident #80 was observed to be ambulating down hall 200 towards the dining room. The back left leg of the resident's walker was observed to get caught under the metal flooring transition between the carpeted and vinyl flooring areas. The transition was observed to be buckled up on both sides in multiple areas. The buckles were of varying sizes. Review of facility incident reports revealed no documentation of any accidents that occurred at the area. At 11:52 a.m., the maintenance supervisor was asked why the metal flooring transition on hall 200 was buckled. He stated when the plumbers came in to fix a water problem, they placed a pile of dirt on the floor that buckled the transition. The maintenance supervisor was asked when the incident had occurred. He stated, "November."
