SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure implementation of policies to the extent of including thorough monitoring of previously identified areas of concern and adequately tracking performance to ensure prior improvement measures were realized and sustained.
Findings:
Review of the facility's Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) Program policy, undated revealed objectives which included to Establish systems through which to monitor and evaluate corrective actions.
The Implementation section described the process in which the QAPI plan identified and corrected deficiencies.
The key components included developing and implementing corrective action or performance improvement activities and monitoring or evaluating the effectiveness of the corrective action, revising when necessary.
The facility had deficiencies at F-F842 in complaint surveys conducted on 12/14/23 and 10/16/24 for non-compliance with the medical record and accuracy of documentation.
Review of the Statement of Deficiencies and Plan of Correction form for the survey conducted on 12/14/23 revealed a Plan of Correction was completed on 1/19/24.
The facility documented education to the nursing staff on the components of F-F842, resident records, and accuracy of documentation was performed.
Review of the Statement of Deficiencies and Plan of Correction form for the survey conducted on 10/16/24 revealed a Plan of Correction was completed on 11/22/24.
The facility again documented education was provided to the current nursing staff and newly hired nurses on the components of F-F842.
The Plan of Correction indicated audits were to be performed until compliance was reached.
During this survey, deficiencies were again identified at F-F842, for resident records and accuracy of documentation. As a result of the repeated citation, it was identified there was insufficient auditing and oversight by the QAPI team to prevent repeated deficiencies. On 9/09/24 at 5:15 PM, the Administrator (NHA) stated she had attended two QAPI meetings since starting to work in the facility in mid-July 2025.
She explained during the QAPI meeting, they reviewed processes relevant to each department to ensure no deficiencies or concerns with deviations from their policy were identified.
She indicated when issues were identified, they worked with their corporate team to develop and implement a Performance Improvement Plan.
The NHA stated she was not aware of the previous deficiencies regarding medical records documentation.
