Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Northwood Deaconess Health Cnt during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to accurately code the MDS for two residents, leading to discrepancies in their medical records. One resident was incorrectly documented as having an active MDRO infection, while another had a stage 2 pressure ulcer inaccurately marked as present on admission. An administrative nurse confirmed these errors, highlighting a failure to adhere to the RAI User's Manual guidelines.
The facility did not ensure the medical director's participation in QAPI meetings from January to September 2024, as required by policy. The QAPI meeting minutes showed no attendance or acknowledgment from the medical director, which was confirmed by an administrative staff member.
The facility failed to follow infection control standards for three residents, leading to potential infection spread. A CNA did not perform hand hygiene after glove removal while caring for a resident with a bowel movement. A nurse did not wear PPE while assisting a resident with a pressure ulcer. Another CNA did not perform hand hygiene or wear gloves while caring for a resident with a surgical wound. An administrative nurse confirmed the expectation for staff to follow PPE and hand hygiene policies.
Inaccurate MDS Coding for Two Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure accurate coding of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) for two residents, which is essential for reflecting their current status and needs. For one resident, the MDS inaccurately identified a multi-drug resistant organism (MDRO) infection as an active diagnosis, despite the medical record lacking documentation of such an infection in the past 60 days. This discrepancy indicates a failure to adhere to the guidelines outlined in the Long-Term Care Facility Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) User's Manual, which requires coding only for diseases with a documented diagnosis in the last 60 days that directly relate to the resident's current status. Additionally, the facility inaccurately coded the MDS for another resident regarding the presence of a pressure ulcer. The quarterly MDS identified a stage 2 pressure ulcer as present on admission, while a nursing progress note indicated that the pressure injury was acquired in the facility. An administrative nurse confirmed these inaccuracies during an interview, acknowledging that the pressure injury was not present upon admission and that the MDS coding was incorrect. These errors in MDS coding could potentially impact the development of comprehensive care plans and the care provided to the residents.
Medical Director's Absence in QAPI Meetings
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the participation of the medical director in the Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) meetings from January 2024 to September 2024. According to the facility's policy, the Quality Assessment and Assurance (QAA) Committee must include the medical director or their designee to identify quality issues and develop plans to correct deficiencies. However, a review of the QAPI meeting minutes revealed that the medical director did not attend any meetings during this period, nor was there a process for the medical director to acknowledge the meeting minutes. An administrative staff member confirmed this lack of participation during an interview.
Infection Control Deficiencies in Resident Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to infection prevention and control standards for three residents, leading to potential infection spread. For Resident #5, two CNAs performed hand hygiene and donned gloves before transferring the resident for incontinent care. However, one CNA, without removing soiled gloves, touched various items in the room, and then changed gloves without performing hand hygiene. The other CNA also failed to perform hand hygiene after removing gloves and exiting the room. For Resident #7, who had an open stage two pressure ulcer, a nurse entered the room without donning the required PPE while assisting in transferring the resident, despite the presence of an EBP sign and supply cart. Similarly, for Resident #18, who had a surgical wound dressing, a CNA failed to perform hand hygiene or don clean gloves after removing gloves during morning care. The CNA continued to provide care with ungloved hands, including washing and dressing the resident. An administrative nurse confirmed that staff are expected to follow PPE and hand hygiene policies.
