Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Wichita County Health Center Ltcu during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility did not employ a full-time Certified Dietary Manager, as required by its policy, for the 10 residents receiving meals from the kitchen. Dietary staff confirmed the absence of certification, and an administrative nurse acknowledged the deficiency.
Dietary staff failed to date and label opened containers of food, including macaroni salad, black olives, cottage cheese, and deli salad, in the kitchen refrigerator. Staff confirmed that opened foods should be dated according to facility policy, but this was not done, resulting in noncompliance with food storage standards for all residents receiving meals.
A resident with multiple chronic conditions was transferred to a hospital for respiratory failure and heart issues, but neither the resident nor her representative received the required Bed Hold Notice at the time of discharge. Staff confirmed that the notice was not provided, despite facility policy requiring written information about bed hold prior to hospital transfer.
Insulin pens for two residents were found in the medication room refrigerator without open and expiration dates. A licensed nurse and an administrative nurse both confirmed that these labels were missing, despite facility policy requiring multi-dose vials to be dated and initialed when opened.
The facility did not accurately post required daily nurse staffing information, as postings included staff names and shifts but omitted the census and total direct care nursing staff hours. An administrative nurse confirmed the posting system lacked the required totaled hours, which was not in accordance with facility policy.
The facility did not submit complete and accurate direct care staffing information to CMS via PBJ, resulting in reported discrepancies such as low weekend staffing and missing licensed nurse coverage, despite internal records showing appropriate staffing. The issue was attributed to possible vendor errors in PBJ data submission.
Lack of Certified Dietary Manager in Food and Nutrition Services
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to employ a full-time Certified Dietary Manager for its census of 10 residents who received meals from the facility kitchen. Observations in the kitchen revealed three dietary staff working, but none held certification as a Dietary Manager. One dietary staff member confirmed she had completed the coursework but had not taken the certification test. The Administrative Nurse also verified that the dietary manager was not certified and acknowledged awareness of the requirement for a Certified Dietary Manager. The facility's own policy required the Dietary Manager to maintain certified credentials and oversee various aspects of the dietary department, including supervision, training, and communication with nursing and the registered dietician.
Failure to Properly Store and Label Opened Food Items in Kitchen
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to store, prepare, and serve food in a sanitary manner for all 10 residents who received meals from the kitchen. During observation, three dietary staff were seen cleaning and preparing food in the kitchen, where the walk-in refrigerator contained opened but undated containers of macaroni salad, black olives, cottage cheese, and an eight-pound box of deli salad. Dietary staff confirmed the presence of these opened, undated foods and acknowledged that staff were required to date packages of food when opened. The facility's Food Storage policy required that leftover food be stored in covered containers or wrapped securely, and clearly labeled and dated before refrigeration, which was not followed in these instances.
Failure to Provide Bed Hold Notice Upon Hospital Transfer
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a Bed Hold Notice to a resident or her representative upon her transfer and admission to a hospital. The resident's electronic medical record documented diagnoses including anxiety, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and heart disease. Her admission Minimum Data Set indicated intact cognition and a need for staff assistance with most activities of daily living. The care plan directed staff to monitor for medication reactions and report abnormal vital signs. On the date of transfer, the resident was admitted to the hospital for respiratory failure and heart issues. Upon review, the facility was unable to provide documentation that a Bed Hold Notice was given to the resident or her representative at the time of discharge to the hospital. Interviews with staff confirmed that the notice was not provided. The facility's own policy required written information about the bed hold policy to be given before transferring a resident to a hospital, but this was not followed in this instance.
Insulin Pens Not Labeled with Open and Expiration Dates
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed that insulin pens belonging to two residents were stored in the medication room refrigerator without being labeled with open and expiration dates. A licensed nurse confirmed that the in-use insulin pens lacked these required labels. Additionally, an administrative nurse verified that insulin pens in use should be labeled with both open and expiration dates. The facility's policy on subcutaneous injection administration specifies that multi-dose vials must be dated, timed, and initialed when opened, but this procedure was not followed for the insulin pens in question.
Failure to Accurately Post Daily Nurse Staffing Information
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to display accurate daily nurse staffing information as required. During the survey period, the posted nurse staffing information included staff names and shifts but did not include the facility's census or the total direct care nursing staff hours. An administrative nurse confirmed that the posting system used did not provide the required totaled hours, only the names and shifts of direct care staff. The facility's own policy required that the posted information include the number of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nurse aides scheduled for each day, the facility census, and the total number of hours for each position, but this was not followed during the survey period.
Failure to Submit Accurate PBJ Staffing Data
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to submit complete and accurate direct care staffing information to CMS through the Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ) system as required. The PBJ reports for Fiscal Year 2024, Quarters 2 and 3, indicated excessively low weekend staffing, and the Quarter 4 report showed a lack of licensed nurse coverage for 24 hours on seven days in August and one day in September. However, a review of the facility's own records for those dates revealed that appropriate weekend and licensed nurse coverage was actually provided. During an interview, the administrative nurse indicated that the discrepancies may have been due to inaccuracies from the vendor used to submit PBJ data to CMS. The facility's policy requires electronic submission of complete and accurate staffing information, including agency and contracted staff, in accordance with CMS specifications. The deficiency was identified through a comparison of PBJ data submitted to CMS and the facility's internal staffing records.
