Inaccurate MDS Coding for Falls and Indwelling Catheter
D
F0641 F641: Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Short Summary

Surveyors found that MDS assessments were inaccurately coded for two residents, one regarding falls and the other regarding an indwelling urinary catheter. A resident with a history of muscle weakness and hip fracture had three documented falls, including one with major injury and one with no injury, but the quarterly MDS captured only a single fall with minor injury. Another resident with neuromuscular bladder dysfunction and a care plan and orders for a suprapubic catheter, including documented catheter flushes and catheter care on MARs and TARs, was coded on the quarterly MDS as not having an indwelling urinary catheter. The MDS Coordinator confirmed both coding errors after reviewing the records, and the DON stated she expected accurate MDS coding.

Failure to Update DNR Status in EMR
D
F0578 F578: Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
Short Summary

A facility failed to update a resident's DNR status in the EMR, despite having signed documentation indicating the DNR status. The resident's EMR incorrectly showed a Full Code status, leading to a mismatch between electronic records and physical documentation. Staff interviews revealed that the process for updating the EMR was not followed, resulting in the oversight.

Failure to Obtain Order for Suture Removal Delay
D
F0684 F684: Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Short Summary

A resident with Alzheimer's and dementia had sutures placed after a fall, but the facility failed to obtain an order to delay their removal. The initial order expired without completion, and no new order was documented. The Wound Care Nurse extended the removal due to the wound's appearance but did not write a new order. A nurse and hospice nurse assessed the sutures and decided not to remove them, but the nurse did not notify the NP or Medical Director, assuming the hospice nurse would. The Medical Director had instructed to leave the sutures for ten days but was unsure why the order was not updated.

Failure to Secure Resident in Mechanical Lift Leads to Fall
D
F0689 F689: Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.
Short Summary

A resident with dementia and limited mobility fell during a transfer due to improper use of a mechanical lift. The nursing assistant failed to cross the sling straps as per the manufacturer's instructions, causing the resident to slide out. The resident sustained minor injuries, and the incident highlighted a lapse in following proper transfer procedures.
