Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Ochsner Medical Center Skilled Nursing Facility during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Expired medical supplies, including dextrose solution bags and an IV catheter, were found available for use in a facility. An LPN and the DON confirmed the expiration of these items, with no explanation provided for their availability.
The facility failed to ensure staff adhered to isolation precautions for residents requiring protective measures. A resident with Covid-19 was under specific isolation precautions, but staff entered the room without required eye protection. Another resident with a history of cancer required enhanced respiratory precautions, yet a staff member was observed without a mask. These lapses highlight deficiencies in infection prevention and control.
A resident, assessed as high risk for falls and requiring assistance for showering, was left unattended by a CNA in the shower. The resident attempted to get up, fell, and sustained a severe injury requiring surgery. Despite known mobility impairments, the resident's call light was ignored, leading to the incident. Interviews confirmed the resident was left alone, and the facility acknowledged the incident.
A CNA with a criminal conviction for drug-related offenses, which barred employment under state law, was hired and remained employed at the facility. The HR Director was aware of the CNA's background, yet the facility did not provide documentation to dispute the findings and denied the surveyor's request for a copy of the background check.
Expired Medical Supplies Available for Use
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that expired medical supplies were not available for resident use, as observed in two separate instances. In Medication Room b, three bags of 5% dextrose injection solution were found to be expired and still available for use. These bags had expiration dates that had not been extended despite an intravenous solution shortage. A Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) confirmed the expiration of these bags and acknowledged that they should not have been available for resident use. The facility's administrator could not provide an explanation for why these expired items were still present in the medication room. Additionally, an expired sterile intravenous (IV) catheter was found on a Workstation on Wheels (WOW a). The catheter had surpassed its expiration date, and its presence was confirmed by another LPN. The Director of Nursing (DON) also confirmed the expiration of the catheter and could not offer an explanation for its availability for resident use. The facility's failure to adhere to guidelines for medication security and storage, as well as the CDC's guidelines for disinfection and sterilization, contributed to these deficiencies.
Failure to Adhere to Isolation Precautions
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure staff members adhered to isolation precautions for residents requiring specific protective measures. Resident #190, who was admitted with a positive Covid-19 test, was under airborne, contact, and droplet isolation precautions. The facility's policy required all personnel entering the room to wear an N-95 respirator, gown, gloves, and eye protection. However, observations revealed that S5RN and S6LPN entered Resident #190's room without wearing the required eye protection, despite being in direct contact with the resident. Interviews with S5RN and S2DON confirmed the oversight and the necessity of eye protection as per the facility's policy. Additionally, Resident #182, who had a history of cancer, was under continuous enhanced respiratory precautions. The facility's policy required a mask to be worn before entering the room. However, S8RT was observed sitting in Resident #182's room without a mask. This was confirmed by S8RT and S2DON, acknowledging the failure to adhere to the required precautions. These lapses in following established isolation protocols highlight the facility's deficiency in maintaining infection prevention and control measures.
Resident Left Unattended in Shower Resulting in Fall and Injury
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure adequate supervision for a resident assessed as high risk for falls, leading to an incident where the resident was left unattended in the shower. The resident, who was cognitively intact and required substantial assistance for showering, was left alone by a CNA who turned her back to retrieve clothes. During this time, the resident attempted to get up from the shower bench, slipped, and fell, resulting in a severe injury. The resident had a history of post-operative Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) and was identified as having impaired functional mobility and an unsteady gait. Despite these known risks, the resident was left unsupervised, and the call light was reportedly ignored, leading to the fall. The incident resulted in the resident requiring additional surgery to address hardware failure in the spine, which was attributed to the fall. Interviews with the resident, family members, and facility staff confirmed that the resident was left alone in the shower, and the CNA did not witness the fall. The Director of Nursing and the facility administrator acknowledged the incident, with the administrator believing the CNA was present in the room, despite evidence to the contrary. The resident was subsequently transferred to another skilled nursing facility following surgery.
Employment of CNA with Barred Criminal Conviction
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to comply with state law by employing a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) who had a criminal conviction that barred employment. The CNA, identified as S7CNA, was found to have multiple convictions related to drug offenses, including distribution and possession of controlled substances, which are prohibited under the Louisiana Revised Statute 40:1203.3. Despite these convictions, the facility hired S7CNA on August 27, 2024, and continued their employment as of May 22, 2024. The facility's Human Resource Director, S12, acknowledged awareness of S7CNA's criminal background, yet the CNA remained employed. The surveyor's request to obtain a copy of the criminal background check was denied by the facility, citing employee protection. The lack of documented evidence to dispute the findings further highlights the facility's failure to adhere to legal hiring practices, as required by state law.
