Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Ambassador Health Of Omaha during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility did not obtain food from approved or satisfactory sources and failed to store, prepare, distribute, and serve food according to professional standards.
A resident with a gastric tube and ventilator dependence was observed multiple times receiving continuous tube feeding with the head of bed elevated below the required 30 degrees, contrary to physician orders and facility policy. Staff confirmed the bed was not properly elevated during these observations.
A deficiency was found when it was determined that a resident's drug regimen included unnecessary medications, indicating a lack of proper review and oversight to ensure compliance with requirements for medication management.
The facility failed to ensure a documented rationale for an as-needed psychotropic medication order for a duration longer than two weeks for a resident with a complex medical history. Interviews confirmed the absence of required documentation, and pharmacy consults did not address the extended use of Lorazepam.
Facility staff failed to wear a gown during wound care for a resident on contact precautions. Despite clear signage and awareness of the need for contact precautions, the Wound Nurse was observed performing wound care without a gown. This was confirmed by both the Wound Nurse and the Unit Coordinator.
Failure to Follow Food Procurement and Handling Standards
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to procure food from sources that are approved or considered satisfactory and did not store, prepare, distribute, and serve food in accordance with professional standards. This deficiency was identified during the survey process, indicating that the facility did not meet regulatory requirements for food safety and handling. No additional details about specific residents, staff, or events are provided in the report.
Failure to Maintain Required Head of Bed Elevation During Tube Feeding
Penalty
Summary
Facility staff failed to ensure that a resident receiving continuous tube feeding had the head of bed (HOB) elevated to at least 30 degrees as required by physician orders and facility policy. The resident, who had an anoxic brain injury, was ventilator dependent, and required total assistance with all activities of daily living, had a physician order and care plan specifying that the HOB should be elevated no less than 30 degrees during tube feeding. Multiple observations over several days showed the resident lying in bed with the tube feeding running and the HOB elevated only to 15 degrees according to the bed's gauge. Further measurement with a cell phone app confirmed that when the bed gauge read 15, the actual angle was only 18 degrees, which is below the required elevation. The facility's policy on continuous tube feeding also directed staff to elevate the HOB to 30-45 degrees unless contraindicated. Interviews with staff confirmed the HOB was not elevated to the required degree during tube feeding, resulting in noncompliance with both physician orders and facility policy.
Unnecessary Drugs in Resident Medication Regimens
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified regarding the management of residents' drug regimens. Specifically, it was found that not all residents' drug regimens were free from unnecessary drugs, as required. The report notes that there was a failure to ensure compliance with regulations mandating that each resident's medication plan be regularly reviewed and maintained to avoid the use of unnecessary medications.
Lack of Documented Rationale for Extended Use of Psychotropic Medication
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a documented rationale was provided by the physician for an as-needed psychotropic medication order for a duration longer than two weeks for one resident. Resident 29, who has a complex medical history including mitochondrial metabolism disorder, chromosomal abnormality, and several other conditions, was prescribed Lorazepam for excessive drooling and retching. The medication order, which started on 07/21/2023, did not have a stop date, and there was no documented rationale for its use beyond a two-week period. Interviews with the Director of Nursing and the IV Medication Pharmacist confirmed that there was no documented rationale for the extended use of Lorazepam. Additionally, a review of the pharmacy consults from July 2023 through April 2024 revealed no mention of the as-needed Lorazepam for cyclic vomiting. This oversight indicates a failure in the facility's compliance with the requirement for a monthly drug regimen review by a licensed pharmacist, as well as the need for proper documentation for extended use of psychotropic medications.
Failure to Follow Contact Precautions During Wound Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility staff failed to adhere to infection prevention and control protocols by not wearing a gown during wound care for a resident on contact precautions. Resident 19, who had intact cognition and was ventilator-dependent, had a surgical wound on the left thigh that tested positive for MRSA and MSSA. Despite clear signage indicating the need for contact precautions, including wearing a gown and gloves, the Wound Nurse was observed performing wound care without a gown. This lapse was acknowledged by the Wound Nurse and confirmed by the Unit Coordinator. Resident 19's medical records indicated ongoing treatment for the infected surgical wound, including daily dressing changes and a course of antibiotics. The failure to follow contact precautions was observed during a wound care session, despite the presence of a sign on the resident's bathroom door instructing staff to wear a gown and gloves. Interviews with the Wound Nurse and Unit Coordinator confirmed awareness of the contact precautions, yet the required protective measures were not followed during the observed wound care session.
