**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to develop and implement a baseline care plan for each resident that included the instructions needed to provide effective and person-centered care of the resident that met professional standards of quality care for 1 of 14 residents (Resident #93) reviewed for baseline care plans.
The facility failed to ensure a baseline care plan was developed for Resident #93 within 48 hours of the resident's admission.
This failure could place residents at risk for insufficient immediate care needs being met and maintained.
Findings include:
Record review of Resident 93's face sheet, dated 08/09/22, documented a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the diagnoses which included: depression, mild intellectual disabilities, autistic disorder, and hypertension (high blood pressure)
Record review of Resident #93's electronic medical record revealed there was not a care plan documented under the care plan section of Resident 93's electronic medical record and
Record review of Resident #93's electronic medical record revealed there was not a baseline care plan or assessment documented under the assessment section of Resident 93's electronic medical record.
Record review of Resident #93's Brief Interview for Mental Status evaluation, dated 07/21/22, revealed BIMS Summary Score of 14, which indicated the resident was cognitively intact (Alert and Oriented x time, place, person).
Record review of Resident #93 Order Summary dated 08/10/22 revealed the following:
The resident had an order for DNR as of 07/29/22.
The Resident took the following antipsychotics: Escitalopram 20 mg for depression, hydroxyzine 25 mg three times a day for anxiety, and Lorazepam 0.5 mg by mouth for depression.
The Resident had the following behaviors: itching (picking at skin), restlessness (agitation), hitting, increase in complaints, biting, kicking, spitting, cussing, racial slurs, elopement, stealing, delusions, hallucinations, psychosis, regression and refusing care.
Record review of Resident #93's, undated, medication administration record revealed the resident took the following medications between 07/9/22-08/09/22:
Escitalopram 20 mg for depression, hydroxyzine 25 mg three times a day for anxiety, and Lorazepam 0.5 mg by mouth for depression
Interview on 08/09/22 at 11:13 AM, Resident #93 stated she was new to the facility. She was able to explain she came from the hospital due to having COVID-19. She stated she had not participated in any meetings since she had been at the facility.
Interview on 08/10/22 at 11:00 AM, the MDS (Minimum Data Set) Nurse stated she was in charge of creating baseline care plans. She stated she had been trained in baseline care plans and expected to follow the facility policy of completing the baseline care plan within the first 48 hours. She stated she received comprehensive training ten years ago and kept up with her Resident Assessment Coordinator training annually. She said that in the annual training, she receives training on MDS updates and skilled nursing services. She stated the baseline care plan, like the comprehensive care plan was important because the facility nurses and certified nursing aids (CNA) used it to provide care to the residents. She stated baseline care plans were important because it was the initial plan before a comprehensive care plan could be completed that informed the staff of what type of care the Resident needed and if multiple staff were needed to carry out care. She stated she had not completed Resident #93 baseline care plan because she had recently been working the floor, and the facility has been short-staffed. She stated the electronic medical record they used was new, and she was not as familiar with the program; this also made it challenging to complete baseline care plans and care plans on time. She stated she was not aware of any processes in place that were used to ensure baseline care plans were being done. She stated they had the new electronic medical record since January 2022. She stated she would write notes to remind herself when things needed to be completed. She stated failure to complete baseline care plans for residents could affect their quality of care. She stated if a resident took psychotropic medications, the facility staff could not correctly monitor for side effects, and the drug regimen may not accurately be followed. She stated gradual dose reductions might not be completed, which could cause the resident to be on medications too long. She stated residents with behaviors might not be handled appropriately because staff would not know how to avoid triggers or appropriate responses to address behaviors. She stated OOH-DNR would be listed on the baseline care plan, and failure to list this preference on the baseline care plan would place the resident at risk of receiving chest compressions against their wishes. When observing the electronic medical record on 08/10/22, it was noted that Resident #93 baseline care plan had been completed. She stated she completed the baseline care plan after the state surveyor intervention. She stated she completed multiple care plans on 08/09/22 as she needed to do them. When asked about the plans she corrected on 08/09/22, she stated she although she was not familiar with the electronic medical record program she was able to change them quickly because as she completed them it became easier. When asked about the involvement of the facility staff, residents, and responsible parties in care plan meetings, she reported according to the facility policy, it was a team effort. She stated she did not include anyone in the team when she changed care plans on 08/09/22. She stated no one reviewed her care plans to ensure they were completed.
Interview on 8/11/22 at 09:47 AM, the DON (Directors of Nurses) stated the MDS Coordinator was overseeing care plans. He stated the MDS coordinator was responsible for completing MDS assessments, baseline care plans and care plans. He stated he had not been trained regarding care plans or MDS's. He said he had been the DON since 05/20/22 and was still learning all of his duties. He stated he signed off on the care plans but had not been ensuring they were completed or reviewed. He stated he had been aware that the MDS Coordinator was behind on care plans, and this was because they had an increase in the census and a shortage in staff. He stated the facility utilized agency staff, which helped some. He stated he was aware the MDS coordinator was behind for the past 2-4 weeks. He stated the only effort made to get caught up on care plans was attempting to find staff for the floor. He stated he expected baseline care plans be completed within 48 hours according to facility policy. He said with his limited knowledge, he expected any care areas triggered from the MDS assessment to be included in the Resident's care plan. He stated the Resident could be at risk of receiving improper care if a care plan was incomplete or missing. He stated depending on the care area, the Resident was at risk for decline. He stated he expected the residents' care plan to be tailored to their needs, and all portions of the care plan, including baseline care plans, should be completed. He stated he did expect non-triggered items such as DNR status to be included in baseline care plans. He stated the facility had the electronic medical record since November of 2021. He stated before the new electronic medical record implementation, he and the administrator received virtual training. He stated it was also his expectation the care plan for the individual should include goals and interventions for the identified problems. He stated the care plan meetings included himself, the Administrator, the MDS coordinator, the Nurse Practitioner or the Physician, and the Resident or family member. He stated it was not standard practice to change care plans without the team.
Interview on 8/11/22 at 9:59 AM, the Administrator stated the MDS coordinator was responsible for overall care plans, which included baseline care plans. He stated he was aware she was behind and they tried to address this by addressing the staffing issues they were having. He stated he was unaware care plans or baseline care plans had been updated since surveyors had entered the building for the full book survey. He stated he knew she would try and get caught up but was unsure how many had been updated. He stated it was not the facility practice to update the resident's care plan without a care plan meeting. He stated the purpose of having the meeting was to ensure changes were not made that were not warranted. He stated he was unfamiliar with care plans and MDS's as they were more clinical, and he did not cover much of them or clinical areas as an administrator. He stated he expected the facility to follow clinical practices, which baseline and care plans, according to facility policy. He stated he expected the care plans to be fully completed, individualized and customized to resident needs. He stated he was unsure if his DON knew MDS, baseline care plans and care plans. He stated the failure to develop baseline care plans and care plans could affect residents' care. He stated the resident might not receive the care they needed or wanted. He stated the baseline care plans and care plans were not completed because of the COVID-19 outbreak they experienced in July and an increase in the census of residents. He stated the efforts made to address the systemic issues of baseline care plans and care plans not being completed were not directly addressed but indirectly addressed through trying to find coverage so the MDS coordinator could be in the office completing care plans. He stated the importance of the baseline care plan was to generate a baseline of care until the MDS coordinator had the opportunity to develop a more comprehensive care plan. He stated he expected baseline care plans to be completed within 48 hours and meet the need of the resident.
Interview on 8/12/22 at 12:15 PM, the Resident's Responsible Party stated he was not invited or had not participated in any meetings since the admission of Resident #93. He stated he did not live in Texas, but if he had been invited to a meeting about Resident #93, he would have participated by telephone.
Record review of the MDS coordinator Resident Assessment Coordinator- Certified (RAC-CT) revealed the MDS coordinator received certification on 06/22/21 with an expiration date of 07/01/23.
Record review of the facility resident listing report provided by the MDS coordinator indicated by yellow highlighting. Resident #93 was one of the corrected care plans.
Record review of the facility policy Care Plans- Baseline, Comprehensive Person-Centered, Revised December 2016, revealed the following documentation:
Policy Statement: A baseline plan of care to meet the resident's immediate needs shall be developed for each resident within forty-eight (48) hours of admission.

Interview on 08/10/22 at 11:00 AM, the MDS (Minimum Data Set) Nurse stated she was in charge of creating care plans. She stated she had been trained in care plans and was expected to follow the facility policy. She stated she received comprehensive training ten years ago and kept up with her Resident Assessment Coordinator training annually. She said in the annual training, she received training on MDS updates and skilled nursing services. She stated the comprehensive care plan was important because the facility nurses and certified nursing aids (CNA) use it to provide care to the residents. She stated care plans were important because it informed the staff of what type of care the resident needed and if multiple staff were needed to carry out care. She stated she had not completed care plans because she had recently been working the floor, and the facility had been short-staffed. She stated the electronic medical record they were using was new, and she was not as familiar with the program; this also made it challenging to complete care plans on time. She stated she was not aware of any processes in place used to ensure care plans were being done. She stated they had the new electronic medical record since January 2022. She stated she would write notes to remind herself when things needed to be completed. She stated failure to complete care plans for residents could affect their quality of care. She stated if a resident took psychotropic medications, the facility staff could not correctly monitor for side effects, and the drug regimen may not accurately be followed. She stated gradual dose reductions might not be completed, which could cause the resident to be on medications too long. She stated residents with behaviors might not be handled appropriately because staff would not know how to avoid triggers or appropriate responses to address behaviors. She stated failure to list OOH-DNR on the care plan would place the resident at risk of receiving chest compressions against their wishes. She stated residents that triggered for delirium could be at risks for falls or increased behaviors. She said if cognitive loss triggered then the resident was at risks for entering another residents room. She said if a resident triggered for visual the staff may not properly address the residents with their visual needs such as wearing glasses. She said if a resident triggered for activities of daily living the staff could fail to have the appropriate amount of staff to carry out the residents care. She said if a resident triggered for urinary a resident would be at risk for pressure ulcers and urinary tract infections. She said mood, behaviors and psychosocial well-being could place residents at risk because staff would not know how to avoid things that may trigger the resident. This could cause an increase in behaviors and a change in mood and emotions for the resident. Nutritional triggers not being care planned could place the resident at risks as they might receive the wrong diet texture and this could cause weight loss. She said if a resident triggered for pain then the person could continue to be in pain or have increased pain untreated. She said if a resident was at risk for falls then the resident could have an increase in falls and could suffer injuries. She said residents who triggered for pressure ulcers could be at risk for worsened pressure ulcers or developing new ones and this could have created infections. (When observing the electronic medical record on 08/10/22, it was noted that multiple resident care plans had been updated after state surveyor entrance into the facility). She stated she completed multiple care plans on this date as she needed to do them. When asked about the plans she corrected on 08/09/22, she stated she was able to change the plans easier because of practice. When asked about the involvement of the facility staff, residents, and responsible parties in care plan meetings, she reported according to the facility policy, it was a team effort. She stated she did not include anyone in the team when she changed care plans on 08/09/22. She stated no one reviewed her care plans to ensure they were completed.
Interview on 8/11/22 at 09:47 AM, the DON (Directors of Nurses) stated the MDS Coordinator was overseeing care plans. He stated the MDS coordinator was responsible for completing MDS assessments, baseline care plans and care plans. He stated he had not been trained regarding care plans or MDS's. He said he had been the DON since 05/20/22 and was still learning all of his duties. He stated he signed off on the care plans but had not been ensuring they were completed or reviewed. He stated he had been aware she was behind on care plans, and this was because they had an increase in the census and a shortage in staff. He stated the facility had utilized agency staff, which helped some. He stated he was aware the MDS Coordinator was behind for the past 2-4 weeks. He stated the only effort made to get caught up on care plans was attempting to find staff for the floor. He stated he expected care plans should be completed within according to facility policy. He said with his limited knowledge, he expected any care areas triggered from the MDS assessment to be included in the Resident's care plan. He stated the resident could be at risk of receiving improper care if a care plan was incomplete or missing. He stated depending on the care area, the Resident was at risk for decline. He stated he expected the residents' care plan to be tailored to their needs, and all portions of the care plan should be completed. He stated he did expect non-triggered items such as DNR status to be included in care plans. He stated the facility had the electronic medical record since November of 2021. He stated before the new electronic medical record implementation, he and the Administrator received virtual training. He stated it was also his expectation the care plan for the individual should include goals and interventions for the identified problems. He stated the care plan meetings included himself, the Administrator, the MDS Coordinator, the Nurse Practitioner or the Physician, and the resident or family member. He stated it was not standard[TRUNCATED]
