The administrator stated no specific direction was given to nurse managers when completing the audits, such as what constituted answering a call light timely, and they just followed the prompts in the column titles.

F 0867 During an interview on 5/15/25 at 8:15 a.m., the director of nursing (DON) stated she was aware call lights were an ongoing problem because of concerns and reports from residents. The DON stated data regarding Level of Harm - Minimal harm or call light times was monitored through the audits and resident concerns, like grievances filed. The DON potential for actual harm reviewed the facility's call light logs dated 2/25/25 through 5/7/25. She identified some audits were marked see attached and did not specify if the light was answered timely or the resident had concerns, some audits Residents Affected - Many stated lights were answered timely but included call light logs with times that did not meet her expectations for timeliness, and some audits were not completed fully. The DON stated the audits were not complete or accurate, did not specify what constituted timeliness, and did not include analysis of the data. The DON was unable to articulate how the facility was analyzing data and monitoring the call light times when the data collected was not complete or accurate and stated we weren't doing that effectively. She noted call light data came from audits and grievances and would be analyzed prior to and reviewed at QAPI meetings. She confirmed the QAPI meeting slide for plans of correction did not include data. After reviewing the call light audit sheets, she stated the data in the audits identified ongoing concerns and noted I don't see inclusion or analysis of the data or development of an improvement plan in the QAPI committee meetings. She further noted there was no analysis of the causal factor of action plan that I'm aware of and identified the administrator as the person who had been more involved and would know more.

During and interview on 5/15/25 at 3:39 p.m., the administrator stated call lights were identified as an issue and the facility was cited for this in January. The plan to monitor and ensure compliance was nurse managers completing call light audits weekly, though she stated the audits were not complete or accurate.

The administrator stated audits were analyzed by the nurse managers completing them, the DON, and herself and they did not identify the call light times as continued issue through the audits but they should have. She stated call light time data had not been analyzed in QAPI and a causal analysis had not been completed. The administrator stated the QAPI committee meeting showed the audits were being done and identified the number of related grievances, but we need to do more a deep dive into the why's behind them.

She confirmed there was no action plan for process improvement based on the data and no measurable goal for call light times. She stated, the goal was 15 minutes, but it is not identified.

Facility policy titled Call Lights - Call System Activation and Response dated 5/28/24, included Call light response times are reviewed as part of the QAPI program.
