Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at William Breman Jewish Home, The during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility was found deficient in food storage and sanitation practices, with unlabeled and expired food items in the cooler and dry storage, and an unclean ice machine. Staff interviews revealed lapses in responsibility and adherence to food safety protocols.
A resident's advanced directive records were not properly updated in the facility's EHR, leading to a discrepancy between the documented CPR order and the resident's DNR wishes. RN AA admitted to the oversight, and both the DON and Administrator confirmed the importance of accurately entering orders to honor the resident's preferences.
The facility failed to maintain a medication error rate below five percent, resulting in a ten percent error rate. An LPN attempted to administer incorrect medications to a resident, leading to two errors. Another LPN was observed giving an extra dose of vitamin C to a different resident, resulting in another error. Interviews confirmed the errors, and the administration emphasized adherence to physician's orders and the five rights of medication administration.
Deficiencies in Food Storage and Sanitation Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to its policies regarding food storage, labeling, and sanitation, leading to several deficiencies. During an inspection, it was observed that the ice machine was not properly cleaned, as evidenced by a brown/red substance inside. Additionally, various food items in the reach-in cooler, including fruit cups, pitchers of liquid, condiment cups, and a plate of assorted fruits, were found unlabeled and undated. In the dry storage area, three packages of flour tortillas were discovered to be expired. These observations indicate a lack of compliance with the facility's policies on food safety and sanitation. Interviews with facility staff revealed gaps in the execution of responsibilities related to food safety and equipment maintenance. The Dietary Supervisor acknowledged that labeling and dating were collective responsibilities, but errors were still present despite regular checks. The Facility Tech II, responsible for cleaning the ice machine, admitted to possibly rushing the cleaning process, which might have led to inadequate cleaning of the seals. The Dietary Manager confirmed the deficiencies in labeling, dating, and expiration of food items, attributing the responsibility for the reach-in refrigerator items to one of the servers. These interviews highlight a breakdown in communication and accountability among staff members regarding food safety protocols.
Failure to Update Advanced Directive Records
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to properly maintain and update the advanced directive records for a resident, identified as R12, which could potentially lead to the resident's wishes not being honored in a medical emergency. R12, who was admitted with diagnoses including dementia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia, had a documented advanced directive for CPR in the electronic health record (EHR). However, there were conflicting documents indicating a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order, which was not updated in the EHR. This discrepancy was confirmed by RN AA, who admitted to forgetting to update the code status from CPR to DNR, acknowledging the oversight and the potential for the resident's wishes to be disregarded. The Director of Nursing (DON) and the Administrator both confirmed the protocol for handling POLST forms and advanced directives, emphasizing the importance of accurately entering the orders into the EHR. The DON reviewed the incorrect orders and confirmed that the information should be entered accurately according to the resident's wishes. The Administrator reiterated the protocol to ensure the patient's wishes were honored, highlighting the potential negative outcome of not following the orders accurately. The failure to update the advanced directive in the EHR was identified as a deficiency in the facility's process, with the potential to result in actions that did not align with the resident's preferences.
Medication Error Rate Exceeds Acceptable Threshold
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a medication error rate below five percent, resulting in a ten percent error rate. During a medication administration observation, an LPN attempted to administer incorrect medications to a resident. The resident was supposed to receive acetaminophen 650 mg and aspirin 81 mg daily, as per the physician's orders. However, the LPN took two 325 mg acetaminophen tablets and one aspirin 81 mg from the floor stock, which was incorrect. This action resulted in two medication errors, as the LPN was about to administer the wrong dosage before being stopped by the surveyor. In another instance, a different LPN was observed administering morning medications to another resident. The resident's physician orders included vitamin C 500 mg daily. The LPN, however, attempted to give an additional vitamin C tablet from the floor stock, despite it already being included in the prefilled medication pouch. This resulted in another medication error, as the LPN was about to administer an extra dose before the surveyor intervened. Interviews with the LPNs confirmed the errors, and the facility's administration expressed their expectation for medications to be administered according to physician's orders and the five rights of medication administration.
