Summary
The facility failed to report an injury of unknown origin to the Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) when a resident sustained an open fracture to the right femur. The Director of Nursing (DON) assessed the resident but did not report the injury to DHSS and did not immediately inform the Administrator. This deficiency was identified through interview and record review, and it affected one resident out of a facility census of 73. The report notes that this deficiency remains uncorrected and references previous similar findings.
