Residents Affected - Some Based on record review, interviews, and review of the policy titled Pharmacy Services, the facility failed to ensure medications were administered as ordered for two of three residents (R) (Resident R17 and Resident R25) reviewed for medication administration. Specifically, Resident R17 missed 20 doses of her inhaler (Xopenex) and Atorvastatin 13 times, as ordered; and Resident R25 missed seven doses of Pregabalin (Lyrica-can be used for nerve pain). The deficient practice had the potential for adverse consequences and events due to not receiving ordered and scheduled medications timely.

Findings included:

A review of the undated policy titled Pharmacy Services, revealed the facility will provide Pharmacy Services

in accordance with state and federal regulations. Procedure: Number 5. The facility will provide pharmaceutical services including procedures that assure the accurate acquiring, receiving, dispensing, and administration of all drugs and biological to meet the needs of each resident.

Review of the policy titled Medication Delivery Expectations dated April 2022, revealed the policy is to ensure all residents will receive their medications as ordered and to ensure if medications are not received, center immediately intervenes, and medications received within 4 hours. Protocol: A. Notify the pharmacy of medication that has not been received. Pharmacy has someone on call 24 hours a day, so it is never acceptable to document that a medication is 'not available.' It is the center's responsibility to ensure medications are administered. D. If medication is not available, call the pharmacy and request medication to be delivered STAT [as soon as possible] either from your facility pharmacy or community back-up pharmacy. H. Notify the physician if medication will be given late or obtain an order for different start times, if appropriate.

1. A review of the clinical record revealed Resident R17 was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diastolic congestive heart failure (CHF) and asthma.

A review of the annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 4/10/2024, revealed a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15 which indicated she was cognitively intact.

A review of the June 2024 Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed the following medication orders:

1. Xopenex Inhaler two puffs every six hours related to COPD ordered 5/11/2024. According to the June 2024 MAR, the inhaler was not administered (as indicated by the code 13) eight times, and on two occasions, at 6:00 pm, the documentation was left blank.

Observation on 7/1/2024 at 10:30 am, Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) FF was placing PPE and a TBP sign for contact precautions, on the door for Resident R20. CNA FF was asked why Resident R20 needed to have TBP. She stated, I think he has MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staph Aureus-a bacteria that is resistant to most antibiotics and can spread by touching people with unclean hands or unclean surfaces).

Interview on 7/1/2024 at 4:03 pm, Unit Manager (UM) was questioned about CNA FF placing the PPE/door signage for Resident R20 seven days after he was admitted to the facility. The UM stated resident was admitted from

Findings included.

Review of the policy titled Antibiotic Stewardship, dated April 2022, revealed the policy is the center will develop an Antibiotic Stewardship program to monitor antibiotics and determine true infections as part of the Infection Prevention and Control Program. Procedure: Program Overview: Number 1. The center will establish a multidisciplinary Antibiotic Stewardship Program that defines optimal antibiotic use and provides guidance for optimal antibiotics prescribed. Number 4. The members of the antibiotic stewardship committee should develop, endorse or adopt established guidelines for use by center staff for appropriate identification and observation of infections and treatment guidelines. Number 5. Essential data to be reviewed by the committee should include:

a. Antibiotic orders

b. Clinical documentation supporting resident condition and

observation

c. Supplemental information from:

i. Infection surveillance logs

ii. Microbiology testing

iii. Other tests used to confirm infection, such as imaging

iv. Trends in infections

v. Trends by prescriber

Number 8. Resident Assessment and Communication of Change in Condition. When the center staff suspects a resident has an infection, the nurse should complete an evaluation of the resident to determine if

the resident's status meets minimum criteria for initiating antibiotics such as: the McGeer criteria.

1. Review of the clinical revealed Resident R16 was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses including diabetes, osteoarthritis, osteophyte of the right shoulder, and cellulitis.

Residents Affected - Many Based on record review, interviews, and review of the policy titled Infection Control -Infection Preventionist,

the facility failed to ensure that the person in the role of the Infection Control Preventionist (ICP) adequately assessed, developed, implemented, monitored, and managed the Infection Control and Prevention (IPCP) program, to prevent and control the spread of infections. This failure created the potential for an ineffective infection control program that placed residents at risk for the potential transmission of infections and communicable diseases. The facility census was 136.

Findings included.

Review of the undated policy titled Infection Control-Infection Preventionist, indicated it is the policy of the facility to employ an appropriate qualified professional to establish and maintain an infection control and prevention program designed to prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections. Procedure: Number 1. The facility will designate a qualified individual as the Infection Preventionist whose primary role is to coordinate and be actively accountable for the facility's infection prevention and control and antibiotic stewardship programs. Number 4. Responsibilities of the Infection Preventionist include but are not limited to:

a. Implementing a system for preventing, identifying, reporting, investigating, and controlling infections and communicable diseases for all residents, staff, volunteers, visitors, and other individuals providing services under a contractual arrangement based on the facility assessment.

b. Ensuring written standards, policies, and procedures for the program, which must include, but not limited to.

i. A system of surveillance designed to identify possible communicable diseases or infection before they can spread

to other persons in the facility.

iii. Standard and transmission-based precautions to be followed to prevent spread of infections.

f. Ensuring the implementation of an antibiotic stewardship program consistent with the requirements.
