Failure to Update Facility Assessment for Wound Vac Therapy
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to conduct and document a comprehensive facility-wide assessment to determine the necessary resources for competent resident care during both routine operations and emergencies. Record review showed that the facility's assessment, dated 1/30/2025, listed several special treatments and conditions but did not include wound vac therapy, which was a service provided to at least one resident. The assessment also did not reflect updates or modifications when new services, such as wound vac treatment, were introduced. A resident was admitted with multiple diagnoses, including osteomyelitis and was receiving wound vac therapy to the left foot. The facility's documentation did not show that wound vac treatment was considered in their resource planning or assessment. During an interview, the Administrator confirmed that not all services listed in the assessment were actually provided and could not provide evidence that the assessment was updated to include wound vac therapy during the resident's admission.
