Summary
The facility failed to report a suicide attempt involving one resident to the State Agency within the required 24-hour timeframe. Record review showed that the initial incident report for the resident's suicide attempt was not submitted until several days after the event. During an interview, the Regional Nurse Consultant confirmed that the report was not submitted in a timely manner as required by regulations. This delay in reporting meant that the State Agency was not promptly informed of the incident.
