Good Samaritan Health: Immediate Jeopardy Citation - TN
The October 9 complaint investigation revealed deficiencies in the facility's elopement prevention system. Inspectors determined that few residents were affected, but the violations posed immediate danger to resident health and safety.
The facility's corrective action plan reveals the scope of the problem. Staff must now conduct daily reviews of multiple documentation systems to identify residents showing "exit seeking behaviors" and ensure proper interventions are in place.
Under the new protocols, the Director of Nursing, Staff Development Coordinator, Unit Manager, and Administrator will review nurses' notes from the previous 24 hours specifically looking for "new or worsening exit seeking behaviors." They must verify that care plans address these behaviors and that interventions are actually implemented.
The facility also committed to updating "elopement books" and conducting visual observations during unit rounds. Weekend supervision falls to nurse supervisors and managers on duty, who must complete the same documentation reviews and behavioral observations.
New admissions now require specific elopement risk assessments. The Staff Development Coordinator, Director of Nursing, Unit Manager, or MDS Nurse must evaluate each incoming resident for wandering tendencies and implement appropriate safeguards.
Any identified concerns trigger immediate intervention. The Director of Nursing and Administrator must be notified of problems, with additional safety measures implemented as needed.
The immediate jeopardy finding indicates inspectors determined residents faced serious injury or harm from the facility's inability to prevent unauthorized departures. Such citations are reserved for the most severe violations that require immediate correction to protect resident safety.
The facility's extensive corrective measures suggest systemic failures in tracking and managing residents prone to wandering, a critical safety function in nursing home care.
