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 actions or interventions needed, communicate actions or interventions to staff on all shifts, and monitor changes through resolution with at least weekly documentation for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 1 and 2) reviewed with short-term changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 02/2025 with diagnoses which included Alzheimer’s disease and schizoaffective disorder. The resident’s clinical record, including progress notes from 09/19/25 through 11/17/25 were reviewed, observations were made, and staff were interviewed during the survey. a. A review of the resident’s clinical record indicated the resident experienced the following: * 11/02/25-non-injury fall; * 11/03/25-non-injury fall; * 11/07/25-two falls with injuries, abrasion to right toe and abrasions to both knees; * 11/08/25-fall with abrasion to forehead; and * 11/14/25-fall with abrasion to right knee. There was no documented evidence the facility determined, documented, and communicated to staff what actions or interventions were needed and failed to document weekly progress of the resident’s mobility and injuries until the conditions resolved. On 11/18/25 at 12:15 pm, Staff 3 (Memory Care Coordinator/LPN) acknowledged there were no actions and/or interventions communicated to staff regarding Resident 2’s falls. b. A review of the resident’s clinical record indicated the following medication changes: * 10/14/25 - Discontinue lamotrigine 100mg (anti-seizure medication); * 10/28/25 - New medication methadone 2.5mg (for pain); * 11/04/25 - Increase methadone to 5mg (for pain); increase duloxetine from 30mg to 60mg (for mood stabilization); and new medication haloperidol 1mg (for mood stabilization); * 11/06/25 - Increase haloperidol to 2mg (for mood stabilization); * 11/08/25 - New medication, valproic acid 250mg/ml (for hallucinations/agitation); and * 11/11/25 – New PRN medication, triamcinolone cream (to treat skin conditions). There was no documented evidence these short-term changes of condition were monitored, with progress noted at least weekly, to resolution. On 11/18/25 at 1:20 pm, Staff 2 (Resident Services Coordinator/RN) and Staff 3 (Memory Care Coordinator/LPN) confirmed the identified changes of condition for medications, and they acknowledged the lack of documented monitoring through resolution. The need to ensure the facility determined and documented what actions or interventions were needed for changes of condition, communicated the actions or interventions to staff on all shifts, and monitored the short-term changes of condition at least weekly through resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2, and Staff 4 (Behavioral Support Specialist) on 11/19/25. They acknowledged the findings. No additional documentation was provided. 2. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 06/2024 with diagnoses including late onset Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. The resident’s 08/21/25 through 11/05/25 progress notes, temporary service plans (TSPs), and interim service plans (ISPs) were reviewed, and staff were interviewed. The following was identified: * 08/21/25 – Memantine 10 mg tab (for dementia); give half (5 mg) twice daily for seven days then discontinue; * 09/11/25 – Discontinue erythromycin 5 mg (an antibiotic), memantine 10 mg twice daily (for Alzheimer’s disease), and sertraline 100 mg (an anti-depressant); * 09/12/25 – Start new medications, including acetaminophen 325 mg (for pain), bisacodyl suppository (for constipation), bupropion (an anti-depressant), cetirizine (for allergies), haloperidol (an anti-psychotic), lorazepam (for anxiety or agitation), mirtazapine (a mood stabilizer), morphine (for pain), paroxetine (a mood stabilizer), polyethylene glycol (for constipation), risperidone (a mood stabilizer), and senna (for constipation). Discontinue as-needed acetaminophen, “alum and mag” (an antacid), Milk of Magnesia (for constipation), and nystatin (an antifungal medication); and * 10/06/25 – Discontinue bupropion (an anti-depressant). There was no documented monitoring of these short-term changes of condition through resolution. In an interview on 11/19/25 at 12:55 pm, Staff 3 (Memory Care Coordinator/LPN) stated she was not sure why some TSPs/ISPs got resolved and some didn’t. She stated she was trying to figure out a system that would ensure all short-term changes of condition were monitored through resolution. The need to monitor short-term changes of condition through resolution, with at least weekly progress documented, was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Resident Services Coordinator/RN), and Staff 4 (Behavioral Support Specialist) on 11/19/25 at 2:30 pm. They acknowledged the findings.
