F 0867 Set up an ongoing quality assessment and assurance group to review quality deficiencies and develop corrective plans of action. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 49786
Residents Affected - Few Based on facility policy review, medical record review, facility document review, Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) Plan review, and interview, the facility's QAPI committee failed to ensure
an effective QAPI program that identified quality deficiencies, implemented performance improvement activities to address quality concerns, and performed a root cause analysis related to medication errors. The QAPI committee failed recognize, identify, develop and implement corrective systems to ensure appropriate care and safety by all disciplines involved in the medication transcription error. The QAPI committee failed to ensure facility wide education was conducted to ensure understanding of the transcription of hospice admission orders after a significant medication error was identified for 1 resident (Resident #7) related to the resident's Morphine orders. The QAPI committee failed to identify and implement an effective action plan to correct deficiencies when hospice orders were incorrectly transcribed on admission, and failed to identify, educate, and put action steps in place with the facility, agency and hospice staff. The QAPI committee failed to implement effective processes, to include effective training, for all facility staff nurses responsible for medication transcription orders and all agency staff nurses responsible for transcription of medication orders, as well as, education and coordination with hospice staff to ensure clear concise provider orders are sent on admission to mitigate transcription errors.
The findings included:
Review of the medical record revealed Resident #7 admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] for 5 days of respite care. The hospice agency orders in place at the time of admission revealed Resident #7 was to receive Morphine Concentrate 100 milligrams (mg) per 5 milliliters (ml) or 20 mg per 1 ml, give 0.25 ml or 5 mg, every 2 hours orally as needed (PRN) for shortness of breath (SOB). On admission to the facility, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) A incorrectly transcribed Resident #7's order for Morphine Sulfate and the facility administered the medication on a 2-hour schedule instead of as needed. Resident #7 was administered 12 doses of morphine on 8/9/2024, 8 doses of morphine on 8/10/2024, 12 doses of morphine on 8/11/2024 and 11 doses on 8/12/2024. When Resident #7's daughter returned from her trip, Resident #7 was out of it and couldn't speak. The facility identified the medication error when it was brought to the Director of Nursing (DON) and Assistant Director of Nursing's (ADON) attention by Resident #7's daughter and LPN B changed
the order to PRN but did not change the concentration. The facility was unaware the concentration they had documented on the Medication Administration Record was still incorrect until it was brought to their attention
on survey.
Review of a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) for the medication error put into place to address significant medication errors related to errors in transcription dated 8/13/2024, was as follows:
a. Identification of resident involved or likely to be affected.
b. Education to LPN B the staff nurse who missed the error in transcription by LPN A.
c. Interdisciplinary Team meeting to discuss hospice orders, noted the format of hospice orders and made note to look at the PRN column.

F 0867 d. Process for admission orders was to ensure they are checked off by the DON or ADON.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or During an interview on 2/21/25 at 4:30 PM, the DON stated the medication error was identified by the facility potential for actual harm on 8/13/2024 by LPN C who discussed the issue with Resident #7's daughter. The DON stated the facility Medical Director (MD) was notified, a Medication Error Form was completed, an investigation was Residents Affected - Few conducted, and a PIP was put in place. The DON stated her IDT team met for QAPI to include the DON, ADON, Unit Manager, MDS Nurse, and Wound Care Nurse. The DON stated her investigation revealed Morphine Sulfate oral solution 20 mg/5 ml 0.25 ml every 2 hours was ordered and transcribed as scheduled, not PRN. The DON stated no harm came to the resident except that the patient's daughter reported her mother was drowsy. The DON stated her corrective action was to correct the Morphine order on 8/13/2024 prior to discharge but just realized today the concentration on the corrected order was incorrect. The DON stated measures taken to prevent recurrence of this incident were to educate LPN B, note the format of hospice orders and to ensure staff were looking at the PRN column. The DON stated orders were still transcribed by a staff nurse, checked by another nurse, an MRR was still completed within 3 days and now
the DON and ADON check all resident orders. The DON stated they perform routine random audits as well, but these audits were not documented anywhere, and she had no record of audits being completed. The DON stated LPN B was educated on her mistake. The DON stated she did not educate the agency nurse who transcribed the morphine incorrectly because she was not her (facility) employee. The DON stated she did not educate any other staff nurses on medication errors and did not include hospice, agency or pharmacy
in her PIP. The DON confirmed the QAPI Committee had identified a significant medication error as an area of concern for the facility but was not aware of the extent of the problem. Continued interview confirmed the facility failed to perform a root cause analysis or thorough investigation for the significant medication error as
the errors in morphine concentration were not identified even after the error was caught. Further interview confirmed the facility failed to implement an effective plan to mitigate errors in transcribing orders by not including facility or agency staff nurses responsible for transcribing orders and not communicating the need for clear concise hospice orders with the hospice agency. The QAPI Committee failed to ensure an effective Quality Assurance Program was in place to monitor and evaluate concerns related to significant medication errors.
