Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at John Edward Harter Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility did not submit required PBJ staffing data to CMS within the designated timeframe for a specific quarter, and the report submitted was incomplete, lacking the daily resident census as required. This was confirmed through document review and Administrator interview.
The facility did not establish or implement a water management program to minimize Legionella risk, as required by its policy. The DON was unable to provide evidence of a comprehensive evaluation or program, admitting that key steps such as forming a WMP team, describing water systems, identifying risk areas, and monitoring control measures had not been completed.
Failure to Submit Complete and Timely PBJ Staffing Data
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to submit complete and accurate direct care staffing information to CMS as required. Specifically, the facility did not submit the Payroll Based Journal (PBJ) data for quarter one of the federal fiscal year 2025 within the required timeline. Additionally, the submitted report was missing required components, notably the daily resident census. This deficiency was confirmed through a review of the facility's CMS Data Submission Report and an interview with the Administrator, who acknowledged that the PBJ report for the specified quarter did not include the necessary daily resident census information.
Failure to Implement Water Management Program for Legionella Prevention
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to establish and implement a comprehensive water management program (WMP) to minimize the risk of Legionella, as required by its own policy. The policy outlined specific steps, including forming a WMP team, describing the building's water systems, identifying potential Legionella growth areas, determining control measures and monitoring, establishing interventions for unmet control limits, and ensuring the program's effectiveness. However, during interviews, the DON was only able to provide water testing results for the activities room and an empty resident room, with no evidence of a facility-wide evaluation or a formal water management program in place. The DON admitted that the facility had not established a WMP team, described the building's water systems, identified all potential Legionella growth areas, determined where and how to monitor control measures, or established interventions for when control limits are not met. Additionally, there was no evidence that the program was being run as designed or evaluated for effectiveness. The DON confirmed responsibility for the program but acknowledged that these critical steps had not been implemented.
