Inspection Findings
During the meeting, topics discussed were as follows:
1) Pressure Ulcers: There were 14 active pressure ulcers involving 5 residents.
The facility goal was to have 5% pressure ulcer rate.
Current facility percentage was left blank.
After discussion, actions present were the facility was working on care plans and turning and repositioning, working on healing wounds.
There was no measurable action or presentation of evaluation of the data to define commonalities such as where pressure ulcers were located on residents, possible causes, co-morbidities, areas for improvement, or potential education to staff or audits that should occur in order to achieve compliance.
2) Falls: There were a total of 16 falls in February. 2 documented minor injuries.
There was no goal or current facility percentage listed.
Actions identified were staff reviewed all care plans (CP) causative factors were reviewed.
Isolation was a top contributor; however possible urinary tract infections (UTI) were noted as well.
Staff were still looking at R1 t see if she could be care planned to safe transfers from bed in the lowest position as it seemed to be when she had been found on the floor. It was not plausible at that time. No other factors were identified or discussed such as time of day, residents requiring increased supervision, staff competence with transfers etc.
3) Infection control and antibiotic stewardship: There was no facility goal or current benchmark listed.
There were 39 active cases of infection the previous month with 22 respiratory (26 new) with COVID, pneumonia, and RSV identified. 4 UTI, 1 case of bone infection, and 2 others noted but not identified.
Actions taken were to continue isolation and testing and keeping residents on droplet precautions. It was noted they were working on getting the IP classes in infection control and surveillance, working on appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) audits and handwashing. It was noted to continue for the foreseeable future There was no indication it had been discussed how the facility was to ensure the IP had received time to complete her training, who was in charge of oversight until that occurred, or how the facility was to achieve their goal or what education may be needed or evaluation of actions already in progress.
