OAR 411-054-0040 (1-2) Change of Condition and Monitoring (1) CHANGE OF CONDITION. These rules define a resident's change of condition as either short term or significant with the following meanings: (a) Short term change of condition means a change in the resident's health or functioning that is expected to resolve or be reversed with minimal intervention or is an established, predictable, cyclical pattern associated with a previously diagnosed condition. (b) Significant change of condition means a major deviation from the most recent evaluation that may affect multiple areas of functioning or health that is not expected to be short term and imposes significant risk to the resident.(c) If a resident experiences a significant change of condition that is a major deviation in the resident's health or functional abilities, the facility must evaluate the resident, refer to the facility nurse, document the change, and update the service plan as needed. (d) If a resident experiences a short-term change of condition that is expected to resolve or reverse with minimal intervention, the facility must determine and document what action or intervention is needed for the resident. (A) The determined action or intervention must be communicated to staff on each shift. (B) The documentation of staff instructions or interventions must be resident specific and made part of the resident record with weekly progress noted until the condition resolves. (2) MONITORING. The facility must have written policies to ensure a resident monitoring and reporting system is implemented 24-hours a day. The policies must specify staff responsibilities and identify criteria for notifying the administrator, registered nurse, or healthcare provider. The facility must: (a) Monitor each resident consistent with his or her evaluated needs and service plan; (b) Train staff to identify changes in the resident's physical, emotional and mental functioning and document and report on the resident's changes of condition; (c) Have a reporting protocol with access to a designated staff person, 24-hours a day, seven days a week, who can determine if a change in the resident's condition requires further action; and (d) Provide written communication of a resident's change of condition, and any required interventions, for caregivers on each shift. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to determine what resident-specific action or intervention was needed for a resident following a short-term change of condition, communicate the determined action or intervention to staff, and document progress until the condition resolved for 4 of 4 sampled residents (#s 1, 2, 3, and 4) who experienced changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1.

Such services may be of a temporary nature as defined in facility policy, admission agreements and disclosure information. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an RN completed an assessment which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment for 2 of 3 sampled resident (#s 1 and 3) who experienced significant changes of condition related to loss/gain of weight. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 03/2020 with diagnoses including chronic diastolic (congestive) heart failure, malignant neoplasm of unspecified ovary, and shortness of breath. Additionally, the resident’s hospital discharge notes included a diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Clinical records, including the current service plan, dated 01/24/25, TARs from 12/01/24 through 02/28/25, and physician orders were reviewed. According to the resident's TARs, the resident's weight was scheduled to be taken on the third Wednesday of each month. The following weights were recorded by the facility: * 09/18/24 – 106.5 pounds; * No weight was recorded in 10/2024; * 11/26/24 – 118.0 pounds; * 12/30/24 – 118.5 pounds; * 01/15/25 – 119.0 pounds; * 01/19/25 – 0 pounds; and * 02/19/25 – 119.0 pounds. The resident experienced a 12.0 pound weight gain, or 10.12% of his/her total body weight, in three months (09/18/24 through 12/30/24). This represented a significant change of condition. There was no documented evidence the facility RN conducted assessments which included documentation of findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessments. The resident refused to be weighed and ate independently in his/her room. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed for all residents who experienced a significant change of condition was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 25 (RN), and Staff 3 (Wellness Director) on 03/06/25 at 1:28 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 3 was admitted in 09/2024 with diagnosis including diabetes, cardiomegaly, and kidney disease. Clinical records, including the current service plan, TARs from 12/01/24 through 02/28/25, observation notes from 12/03/24 through 03/03/25 were reviewed, and interviews with the resident and facility staff were conducted. The following changes of condition were identified: a. The following weights were recorded by the facility: * 11/26/24 - 370 lbs; * 12/30/24 - 375 lbs; * 01/15/25 - 356 lbs =19 pound or 5% weight loss; and * 02/26/25 - 380 lbs = 24 pound or 6.75% weight gain. The resident experienced a 19 pound weight loss, or 5% of his/her total body weight, in 15 days (12/30/24 through 01/15/25), and a 24 pound gain, or 6.75% weight gain in one month (01/15/25 through 02/26/25). A meal observation was completed at 12:45 on 03/04/25, Resident 3 ate independently, and completed close to 100% of the meal. A second meal observation was completed on 03/05/25, Resident 3 ate approximately 75% of the meal independently. The most recent weight available for Resident 3 was taken on 02/26/25 and recorded as 380 lbs. There was no documented evaluation of the weight changes. The unexplained weight changes constituted significant changes of condition. There was no documented evidence the facility RN assessed the weight changes, including documentation of findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessments. b. On 01/13/25 Resident 3 was admitted to the hospital. Observation notes dated 01/14/25 documented: “mobility needs have changed... one person assist with all transfers and wheelchair necessity not walker”. Resident 3 returned to the facility on 01/15/25 with five medication changes, using a wheelchair instead of a walker, and requiring a one person assist with ADLs they had been previously independent with. The changes constituted a major deviation from the most recent evaluation that affected multiple areas of functioning and were not expected to be short term. There was no documented evidence the facility RN assessed the changes, including documentation of findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessments. c. On 02/13/25 Resident 3 was hospitalized. An observation note dated 02/17/25 documented “Change of Condition Assessment needed by RN due to coming back with oxygen orders of 2 liter continuous” and while at the hospital “had 10 liters of fluid removed and IV antibiotics”. A change of condition evaluation was completed by Staff 25 (RN) three days later, on 2/20/25, and documented Resident 3 had not had any hospital admissions in the past year. The need to ensure a timely and accurate RN assessment was completed for all residents who experienced a significant change of condition was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 25 (RN), and Staff 3 (Wellness Director) on 03/06/25 at 3:28 pm. They acknowledged the findings.
