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 interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to refer significant changes of condition to the facility nurse, to determine and document what actions or interventions were needed for short-term changes of condition, to communicate resident-specific instructions and interventions to staff on each shift, to monitor the change of condition at least weekly until resolved, and/or to monitor each resident consistent with his/her evaluated needs and service plan for 3 of 3 sampled residents (#s 1, 2, and 3) who experienced changes of condition; and the facility failed to have written policies to ensure a resident monitoring and reporting system was implemented 24-hours a day. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 2 moved into the community in 04/2025 with diagnoses including orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure when standing). The current service plan, dated 03/26/25, and progress notes, dated 04/06/25 through 05/07/25, were reviewed. Interviews with staff were completed between 05/12/25 and 05/15/25. a. The facility failed to determine actions or interventions needed for the resident, communicate the actions or interventions to staff on each shift, and/or document weekly progress until the condition resolved for the following short-term changes of condition: * 04/06/25: New move-in; * 04/06/25: Skin tear to right upper arm; * 04/11/25: Skin tear to left elbow; and * 04/24/25: Discontinuation of calcitonin nasal spray. b. On 05/14/25 at 1:14 pm, Staff 3 (RCC) was asked to provide a copy of the facility’s written policy to ensure a resident monitoring and reporting system was implemented 24-hours a day. Staff 3 reported the facility did not have written policies for monitoring and reporting. The need to ensure the facility determined and documented what action or interventions were needed for changes of condition, communicated the actions or interventions to staff on all shifts, monitored the short-term changes of condition at least weekly through resolution, and had a written policy to ensure a resident monitoring and reporting system was implemented was discussed with Staff 2 (Administrator) and Staff 3 on 05/15/25 at 12:30 pm. They acknowledged the findings, and Staff 2 confirmed the facility did not have policies regarding monitoring and reporting.2. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 10/2023 with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease and chronic kidney disease. The resident’s clinical record was reviewed, observations were made, and staff were interviewed during the survey. a. The facility documented the following weight records for Resident 3: * 12/26/24: 156 pounds; * 01/09/25: 156.1 pounds; * 02/20/25: 157 pounds; * 03/20/25: 146 pounds; * 04/28/25: 146 pounds; and * 05/08/25: 146.2 pounds. Between 02/20/25 and 03/20/25 Resident 3 experienced weight loss of 11 pounds, or 7.00% of his/her total body weight, in one month. This constituted a severe weight loss and was a significant change of condition. On 04/24/25, the following was noted: “...5.5% weight loss over the last three months, currently [Resident 3] gets assist of 1:1 feeding and also uses Boost/Ensure supplement as well. Discussed weight loss recently with PCP at the last appointment on April 9th, will follow up again with PCP at next appointment on [05/14/25] about weight loss as it is fairly large weight loss but not significant. Moved resident to check weight twice weekly.” On 05/14/25 at 1:55 pm, Staff 3 (RCC) stated the resident was administered nutritional shakes daily and the weight monitoring system the facility used did not highlight the resident’s severe weight loss as of 03/20/25. The facility lacked documented evidence Resident 3 was referred to the facility RN regarding his/her 7.00% total body weight loss in one month. b. The resident was noted to have experienced the following short-term changes of condition: * 02/17/25: Blood and redness found in [perineal area]; * 03/20/25: Medication order change: decrease Metformin (for diabetes) from 1000 mg twice daily to 500 mg twice daily; * 04/22/25: Unwitnessed fall ; * 04/25/25: Unwitnessed fall; * 05/01/25: Unwitnessed fall; * 05/05/25: Missed medication: Hizentra 7 grams (for immune deficiency) via intravenous injection weekly; and * 05/12/25 : Missed medication: Hizentra 7 grams via intravenous injection weekly. The facility lacked documented evidence previously implemented fall interventions for Resident 3 were evaluated for effectiveness or determined if other interventions needed to be developed and each short-term change of condition had actions or interventions determined, documented, communicated to staff, and conditions were monitored with progress noted at least weekly. The need to ensure the facility referred significant changes of condition to the facility RN, determined, documented, and communicated the determined actions or interventions to staff, monitored residents per their evaluated needs and service plans, and monitored conditions, with documented progress at least weekly, until short-term changes of condition were resolved was reviewed with Staff 2 (Administrator) and Staff 3 on 05/15/25 at 2:56 pm. They acknowledged the findings. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 06/2023 with diagnoses including type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic suprapubic catheter, pressure ulcer, and severe obesity due to excess calories. Resident 1's progress notes, dated 02/12/25 through 05/12/25, and service plan, dated 03/20/25, were reviewed. The following short-term changes of condition lacked documentation the facility determined what resident-specific action or intervention was needed for the resident, communicated the determined action or intervention to staff, and/or documented weekly progress until the condition resolved: * 02/12/25: “…reduce levothyroxine to 250mcg daily.”; * 02/12/25: changes to insulin on sliding scale orders to control blood sugar level; * 02/18/25: “…this wound is basically chronic from sharing since [resident] is dependent to hoyer lift [sic].”; * 03/07/25: return to the facility after hospitalization related to acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and aspiration pneumonia from 03/01/25 through 03/07/25; * 03/10/25: “…O2 [oxygen] in certain positions 89% [outside of normal parameters] but up to 91-92% when repositioned.”; * 03/12/25: “Flushed suprapubic catheter….noticed reddish sediments in the tubing…”; * 03/20/25: started new order for supplemental oxygen as needed; * 03/20/25: change of suprapubic catheter; * 04/03/25: “Seen that some parts of the wounds were bleeding …and…a little foul odor observed [sic].”; * 04/05/25: “…a wound that is actively bleeding.”; * 04/07/25: change of suprapubic catheter; * 04/09/25: “When the bandage was removed, it [wound] was bleeding profusely.”; * 04/16/25: “ …res [resident] demanded the back scratcher to aid in itching [sic].”; * 05/02/25: return to the facility after hospitalization related to septic shock with suprapubic catheter associated with urinary tract infection from 04/24/25 through 05/02/25; * 05/02/25: change to pain management orders; * 05/06/25: discontinue oxybutynin (for overactive bladder); and * 05/11/25: “Resident has no BM [bowel movement] record for a couple of days now.” The need to ensure the facility had a system in place to determine what resident-specific action or intervention was needed for a resident following a short-term change of condition, to communicate the determined action or intervention to staff, and to document progress until the condition resolved was reviewed with Staff 2 (Administrator) and Staff 3 (RCC) on 05/15/25 at 11:35 am.
