Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Sante Of Chandler during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to submit required direct-care staffing data to CMS through the PBJ system for an entire fiscal quarter. Review of CMS PBJ reports showed no staffing data on file for that period, despite a written policy requiring electronic reporting of all direct-care staff, including facility-employed, agency, and contract personnel, based on payroll or other auditable records. In an interview, the administrator reported that the facility attempted to submit the PBJ data but missed the CMS deadline, resulting in the absence of the quarter’s staffing information in the PBJ system.
An LPN prepared an incorrect dose of Buspirone for a resident by placing two 15 mg tablets into a medication cup instead of the ordered 15 mg dose (1/2 of a 30 mg tablet given twice daily). A surveyor questioned the order, prompting the LPN to re-check the EMR and recognize the discrepancy, after which one tablet was discarded. The LPN admitted she had misread the order and would have administered the wrong dose without the surveyor’s intervention, and the ADON confirmed that this would have been a medication error and not in accordance with the facility’s medication administration policy requiring adherence to prescriber orders and verification of the five rights.
Failure to Submit Required PBJ Staffing Data by CMS Deadline
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to electronically submit complete and accurate direct care staffing information to CMS through the Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ) system for the fiscal quarter of April 1 through June 30, 2025. Review of the CMS PBJ staffing data report for that quarter showed that no staffing data had been submitted by the facility. The facility’s written policy, dated October 2017, required that direct-care staffing and census information, including staff hired directly, agency staff, contract employees, and applicable providers employed by the facility, be reported electronically to CMS via the PBJ system in compliance with Section 6106 of the Affordable Care Act, using payroll or other verifiable and auditable records. During an interview, the administrator explained that the facility’s process was to submit PBJ staffing data electronically by the required deadline, but for the April 1 through June 30, 2025 quarter, the facility attempted to submit the data and missed the deadline. As a result, the required staffing information for that quarter was not accepted into the PBJ system and was absent from the CMS PBJ staffing data report. The facility’s policy also specified that information could be uploaded manually or through a payroll time and attendance system, and that the PBJ system is accessed through QIES, but despite these established procedures, the facility did not successfully complete the required submission for the identified quarter.
Medication Administration Error Averted During Buspirone Dose Preparation
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves a failure to administer medication according to the prescriber’s order and facility policy for one resident. During a medication pass, an LPN reviewed a resident’s Buspirone order in the electronic medical record and then placed two 15 mg Buspirone HCL tablets into a medication cup. The LPN then retrieved another medication card and began adding additional medication to the same cup. A surveyor intervened and asked the LPN to clarify the Buspirone order. Upon re-checking the order, the LPN recognized that the resident was ordered Buspirone HCL 30 mg, with instructions to give 1/2 tablet twice daily at 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., which equals 15 mg per dose, not 30 mg. The LPN acknowledged that she had not read the order accurately and confirmed that she would have administered the incorrect 30 mg dose if the surveyor had not intervened. She stated that this did not follow the facility’s medication administration policy or the expectation to follow physician orders as written. The ADON confirmed that the order in the medical record specified 1/2 of a 30 mg tablet twice daily and that administering two 15 mg tablets would constitute a medication error variance and would not meet facility policy. The facility’s “Administering Medications” policy requires medications to be administered safely, timely, as prescribed, and in accordance with orders, including checking the label three times to verify the right resident, medication, dosage, time, and route before administration.
