Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being admitted **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interview, the facility failed to create a baseline care plan (minimum healthcare information necessary to properly care for a resident immediately upon their admission to the facility) that include all necessary information for providing care for 1 (R #17) of 3 (R #16, R #17 and R #18) residents reviewed for treatment of wounds. This deficient practice could likely result in residents not receiving the appropriate care upon admission and may place residents at risk of an adverse event (undesirable experience, preventable or non-preventable, that caused harm to a resident because of medical care or lack of medical care) or worsening of current condition. The findings are: A. Record review of R #17's admission documents, no date, revealed the following:1. R #17 was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED].2. R #17 had a diagnosis of a fracture (broken bone) of the left femur (upper leg bone), subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing (refers to a specific phase in fracture recovery, indicating a follow-up visit for routine care like cast checks, X-rays to monitor healing, or medication adjustments after active treatment, not the initial injury or complex complications). B. On 12/29/25 at 11:57 AM, during an interview, R #17 stated the following:1. Staff were completing wound care on her left hip.2. She was going to the doctor that day to remove the staples from her surgical incision (a clean cut or opening made in the body, typically by a surgeon, to access tissues for an operation) and see how her hip was healing. C. Record
review of R #17's physician order, dated 12/22/25, revealed an order to clean incision and ensure dressing was in place each shift until staples were removed. D. Record review of R #17's base line care plan, dated 12/20/25, revealed staff did not document that R #17 had a surgical wound or any interventions in place to treat her incision. E. On 12/30/25 at 1:03 PM, during an interview, the DON confirmed the following:1. R #17 had an incision on her left hip that still had staples.2. R #17 had orders for wound care for her incision.3.
Staff did not document on R #17's baseline care plan that she had an incision on her left hip that required wound care.4. Staff were expected to document all wounds and interventions in place to treat wounds in resident baseline care plans.
