Health deficiencies cited at Woodcliff Lake Health & Rehabilitation Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Physicians did not consistently document and date their progress notes in the eMR at the time of resident visits, resulting in significant delays between the date of service and the date of documentation for several residents with chronic conditions and cognitive impairment. Facility staff confirmed the delay, and one physician reported using a separate EHR system before transferring notes to the facility's records, leading to concerns about timely record availability.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and multiple medical conditions had a physician's order for enteral feeding that contained conflicting instructions regarding the number of cans of Jevity 1.2 to be administered daily. The nursing staff did not clarify or correct the order, and the error was confirmed by both the RD and regional RD. Facility policy requiring verification of orders was not followed, and leadership could not explain the failure to address the discrepancy.
A resident with asthma and moderate cognitive impairment did not have required face-to-face physician visits or progress notes documented at least every 60 days, as revealed by a review of the medical record and confirmed by staff interviews. The absence of timely physician documentation was not addressed by facility leadership or the physician's office.
Delayed Physician Documentation in Medical Records
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that physicians accurately dated their progress notes at each required visit, resulting in discrepancies between the effective date of service and the date the notes were created in the electronic medical record (eMR). For three residents with varying degrees of cognitive impairment and chronic medical conditions, physician progress notes were entered into the eMR days to months after the actual date of service. For example, one resident's progress note had an effective date a month prior to its creation date, while another resident's notes were created weeks after the documented visit. In one case, multiple progress notes for a resident were entered on the same day, but with effective dates spanning several months prior, indicating a significant delay in documentation. Interviews with facility staff confirmed that physicians visited regularly and were responsible for entering their own progress notes into the eMR. One physician explained that their documentation was maintained in a separate electronic health record system, accessible only to select staff, and was later transferred to the facility's eMR. The Director of Nursing acknowledged concerns regarding the timely availability of medical records. The facility's policy requires that physician progress notes be maintained according to professional standards, but the observed practice did not align with this requirement.
Failure to Clarify Conflicting Enteral Feeding Order
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to follow professional standards of practice by not clarifying a physician's order for enteral feeding for one resident. The resident, who had severe cognitive impairment and was admitted with diagnoses including pneumonia, dysphagia, gastrostomy, and malignant neoplasm of the major salivary gland, had a physician's order in the electronic medical record that contained conflicting instructions regarding the number of cans of Jevity 1.2 to be administered per day. The order stated both eight and six cans in the same instruction, creating ambiguity in the resident's care plan. Despite this discrepancy, the error was not corrected by the nursing staff or clarified with the physician. Interviews with the registered dietitian and regional registered dietitian confirmed the presence of the conflicting order and the lack of correction. The facility's policy required staff to verify medication and feeding orders before administration, but this was not followed in this instance. The deficiency was identified through observation, interview, and record review, and facility leadership could not provide an explanation for the failure to clarify the order.
Failure to Ensure Timely Physician Visits and Documentation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident's primary physician conducted face-to-face visits and documented progress notes at least once every 60 days, as required for Medicaid recipient residents. Review of the medical record for one resident revealed a gap in Physician Progress Notes, with no documentation found between 10/29/24 and 2/25/25. The resident, who was admitted with diagnoses including asthma and had moderately impaired cognition as indicated by a BIMS score of 8 out of 15, was observed asleep in bed during the survey. The facility's policy requires physician visits at specified intervals, but the required documentation was missing for this resident. Interviews with facility staff, including an LPN/Unit Manager, confirmed that the physician is expected to visit regularly and document in the electronic medical record. However, when the surveyor attempted to contact the physician's office, the physician was unavailable, and no additional information was provided by the LNHA or DON. The deficiency was identified through observation, interview, and record review, and was found to be inconsistent with both facility policy and regulatory requirements.
