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, document and communicate to staff what action or intervention was needed for a resident following a change of condition with weekly progress noted until the condition resolved, for 2 of 4 sampled residents (#s 1 and 5) with documented changes of condition related to wounds. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 06/2024 with diagnoses including adult failure to thrive and aortic valve stenosis. The resident was receiving hospice services. The resident's service plan dated 03/11/26, incident report/investigation, progress notes and temporary service plans dated 03/08/26 to 06/08/26 were reviewed, observations were made, and interviews with staff and the resident were conducted. The following was identified: Resident 1 experienced multiple short-term changes related to skin conditions that lacked documentation of what action or intervention was needed, and weekly documentation on the progress of each wound until resolution: * 03/31/26 - Wound to right buttock and redness to upper inner thighs; * 05/05/26 – “New sores to coccyx;” * 05/09/26 – Skin tear to coccyx; and * 05/26/26 – Bruising to right lower leg. During an interview on 06/09/26 at 09:55 am, Staff 1 (ED) acknowledged the lack of monitoring progress for the changes of condition and reported that the nurse was responsible for weekly skin monitoring and determining actions or interventions as needed. Observation of the skin conditions completed on 6/09/26 at 10:15 am with Staff 4 (Regional RN) revealed the redness to upper inner thighs was resolved, the bruising to the left lower leg remained discolored, and all other wounds were not resolved. The need to ensure short-term changes of condition had monitoring of progress noted at least weekly, and actions or interventions that were determined were documented and communicated to staff, was discussed with Staff 1, Staff 2 (Regional Director of Operations) and Staff 3 (Chief Operating Officer) at approximately 2:00 pm on 05/10/26. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 5 was admitted to the facility in 04/2026 with diagnoses including diabetes and deep post-operative wound infection. The resident's service plan dated 04/16/26, progress notes and temporary service plans dated 04/18/26 to 06/08/26 were reviewed, observations were made, and interviews with staff were conducted.
