F 0684 During interview on 7/11/24 at 11:16 a.m., the infection preventionist (IP) explained the normal process when

a resident returned from an appointment, the unit coordinator would review any paperwork returned with the Level of Harm - Minimal harm or resident and note any new orders and appointments that were or needed to be scheduled before scanning potential for actual harm the paperwork into the resident's chart. The IP verified there were no appointments scheduled for Resident R121, but

she was following with infectious disease. Furthermore, the IP verified there were no recent infectious Residents Affected - Few disease progress notes in Resident R121's EHR. The IP expected the unit coordinator to follow up on appointments with infectious disease.

During interview on 7/11/24 at 2:50 p.m., MR was able to locate the infectious disease progress note for Resident R121 but stated it could not be printed due to computer and printer issues. The progress note dated 6/11/24, indicated the assessment and plan for Resident R121 was to continue Unasyn through 6/18/24 and start amoxicillin on 6/19/24. Consider chronic suppressive therapy. Safety labs reviewed. Counseled the patient about her diagnoses, treatment options, and management of plan. Referral to emergency room by ambulance for pain control of severe low back pain. The progress note lacked follow-up appointment recommendation. MR reviewed Resident R121's EHR and was unable to locate an infectious disease appointment on the calendar in PCC.

During subsequent interview on 7/11/24 at 2:54 p.m., the IP stated they would defer to the facility's in-house provider for Resident R121's ongoing antibiotic use and would re-evaluate her every month.

During subsequent interview on 7/11/24 at 3:06 p.m., the MR and IP stated Resident R121 was seen most recently by

the in-house provider on 6/25/24. They stated they located a faxed order from the in-house provider dated 7/2/24 for Resident R121 to follow-up with infectious disease. The IP showed a calendar view on PCC for Resident R121 that showed an appointment for Resident R121 at Park Nicollet Specialty Center Infectious Disease Appointment on 8/20/24 at 1:30 PM with Dr. [NAME]. The IP was unsure if the calendar view could be printed. The MR stated there was not a way to see when the appointment was made. The MR stated the unit coordinators would not have touched Resident R121's infectious disease note from 6/11/24 because they only handle appointments and new orders. The MR stated someone on the clinical team would have been responsible for reviewing the note and following up on any other recommendations. The MR stated at the time of interview, the note from infectious disease dated 6/11/24 had not been uploaded into Resident R121's EHR. The MR stated it was due to technical trouble and that's the problem with just one of me here to upload everything. The MR verified there was no way for the clinical team to review the infectious disease note from 6/11/24 because there was no way for them to view the note.

During interview on 7/11/24 at 3:47 p.m., the scheduler at Park Nicollet Specialty Center, Infectious Disease stated the appointment for Resident R121 was made on 7/11/24 around 11 a.m. The scheduler stated no other appointments for Resident R121 were previously scheduled or cancelled.

During interview on 711/24 at 3:59 p.m., the director of nursing (DON) stated the expectation after an appointment if there was any paperwork received, it should go to the unit coordinator to review for future appointments and to be uploaded into the resident's chart. However, the DON stated the facility had some difficulties with outside providers and not receiving progress notes and after-visit summaries. The DON stated in those instances, staff could either access the portal or call the provider's office and request the paperwork. The DON stated a recent process change to how follow-up appointments were handle was being implemented but verified the time between Resident R121's last infectious disease appointment and when it was followed up on by staff was lengthy and expected it to be made sooner.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During an interview on 7/10/24 at 1:33 p.m., RN-A opened Resident R190's EMR for review and stated Resident R190 had both

a colostomy and a urostomy. RN-A navigated to the TAR and indicated Resident R190 had orders for the care of both Residents Affected - Few the urostomy and the colostomy. RN-A reviewed the TAR and confirmed colostomy care had been signed off as provided each shift to Resident R190 for several months. When informed Resident R190 had indicated they did not have a colostomy, RN-A stated they would have to investigate that and report back.

During a follow-up interview on 7/11/24 at 11:01 a.m., RN-A stated they had reviewed Resident R190's medical record and discussed situation with the director of nursing (DON). RN-A indicated they believed the order for colostomy care was a typo because Resident R190 did not have a colostomy but did have a urostomy. The colostomy order should have been discontinued instead of documented on as completed because Resident R190 did not have a colostomy. RN-A stated it was their expectation that staff would only document on actions and care they had done or provided.

During an interview on 7/11/24 at 2:22 p.m., the DON confirmed Resident R190 did not have a colostomy and indicated the nurse who had entered the order for colostomy care had entered the order in error. The DON stated they had a double nurse sign off incorporated into their order process and they expected this process and or nurse manager review to catch routing and order entry errors before they were released in the EMR.

In this case, nurses should have caught and discontinued the order error right away when it was discovered Resident R190 didn't have a colostomy. The DON stated they did not have an explanation as to why staff had continued to sign off on colostomy care for 7 months when Resident R190 did not have a colostomy.

Residents Affected - Few Resident R45's hospital discharge summary dated 7/1/24, indicated Resident R45 was hospitalized on [DATE REDACTED] and discharged

on [DATE REDACTED]. Further, the discharge summary indicated Resident R45 had been treated for an infection of her dialysis access device and it was subsequently surgically removed on 6/25/24. At time of hospital discharge Resident R45 no longer required dialysis treatments. Resident R45's medical record lacked an assessment of Resident R45 upon readmission

the facility and although Resident R45 had her dialysis access device removed and no longer required dialysis treatment, the care plan lacked evidence of being updated with Resident R45's new status or care needs.

Review of Resident R45's Treatment Administration Record (TAR) dated 7/1/24 -7/31/24, indicated Resident R45 had scheduled treatments including assess for thrill and bruit each shift, every shift; Hemodialysis (3) times per week on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday: venous access site care and dressing change during dialysis days and as needed every shift for dialysis care; Hemodialysis Permacath dressing-do not change unless soiled, change using aseptic technique and place transparent dressing over site (no gauze). Keep site dry, sponge baths only (no showers); Monitor for signs and symptoms of infection at AV shunt, vascular cath and/or perm cath every shift. Site: Right arm every shift for monitoring if bleeding noted from shunt site apply pressure, call 911, notify the MD. Do not remove the dressing from the shunt site; No blood pressure taking and venipuncture on right arm every shift for blood pressure monitoring. Although Resident R45 no longer had a dialysis access device and no longer received dialysis, the TAR identified staff had documented completion of the dialysis related services every shift from 7/1/24 thru 7/9/24. The orders were not discontinued until 7/10/24.

During observation and interview 7/8/24, at 5:57 p.m., Resident R45 was alert and oriented, resting in bed wearing a long-sleeved pink shirt and was covered with a blanket up to her chin. Resident R45 stated she had been hospitalized from 6/24-7/1 with an infection in her dialysis access site.

During interview on 7/10/24 at 8:22 a.m., registered nurse (RN)-N stated when residents returned to the facility after a hospital admission a full head to toe assessment was completed. During the assessment vitals were taken, skin was assessed for changes, and any noted changes were documented in the resident's medical record. RN-N described how to assess a dialysis site for bruit and thrill by listening with a stethoscope and putting fingers over the site to feel the fistula. When reviewing the medical record documentation RN-N confirmed he had documented completing a check for bruit and thrill of Resident R45's fistula on 7/5. He went on to say while taking care of Resident R45 on 7/5, Resident R45 reported she had her access device removed. RN-N could not provide a reason why he documented checking for bruit and thrill and stated, I don't remember why I checked that off.
