OAR 411-054-0034 (1-6) Resident Move-in and Eval: Res Evaluation (1) INITIAL SCREENING AND MOVE-IN. (a) The facility must determine whether a potential resident meets the facility's admission requirements. (b) Before the resident moving in, the facility must conduct an initial screening to determine the prospective resident's service needs and preferences. The screening must determine the ability of the facility to meet the potential resident's needs and preferences while considering the needs of the other residents and the facility's overall service capability. (c) Each resident record must include the following information: (A) Prior living arrangements; (B) Emergency contacts; (C) Service plan involvement - resident, family, and social supports; (D) Financial and other legal relationships, if applicable, including, but not limited to:(i) Advance directives;(ii) Guardianship;(iii) Conservatorship; and(iv) Power of Attorney. (E) Primary language; (F) Community connections; and (G) Health and social service providers. (2) RESIDENT EVALUATION - GENERAL. The resident evaluation identifies the resident's preferences, strengths, and relationships, as well as activities that are meaningful to the individual. The evaluation describes the resident's physical health status, mental status, and the environmental factors that help the individual function at their optimal level. The evaluation is the foundation that a facility uses to develop the resident's service plan. The evaluation information may be collected using tools and protocols established by the facility, but must contain the elements stated in this rule.(a) Resident evaluations must be:(A) Performed before the resident moves into the facility, with updates and changes as appropriate within the first 30 days; and(B) Performed at least quarterly, to correspond with the quarterly service plan updates.(C) Reviewed and any updates must be documented each time a resident has a significant change in condition.(D) Done in person and the facility must gather data that is relevant to the needs and current condition of the resident.(E) Documented, dated, and indicate who was involved in the evaluation process.(b) 24 months of past evaluations must be kept in the resident's files in an accessible, on-site location.(c) The facility administrator is responsible for assuring only trained and experienced staff perform resident evaluations.(3) EVALUATION REQUIREMENTS AT MOVE-IN.(a) The resident evaluation must be completed before the resident moves into the facility. This evaluation provides baseline information of the resident's physical and mental condition at move-in.(b) If there is an urgent need and the evaluation is not completed before move-in, the facility must document the reasons and complete the evaluation within eight hours of move-in.(c) The initial evaluation must contain the elements specified in section (5) of this rule, and address sufficient information to develop an initial service plan to meet the resident's needs.(d) The initial evaluation must be updated and modified as needed during the 30 days following the resident's move into the facility.(e) After the initial 30 day move-in period, the initial evaluation must be retained in the resident's file for 24 months. Future evaluations must be separate and distinct from the initial evaluation.(4) QUARTERLY EVALUATION REQUIREMENTS.(a) Resident evaluations must be performed quarterly after the resident moves into the facility.(b) The quarterly evaluation is the basis of the resident's quarterly service plan.(c) The most recent quarterly evaluation, with documented change of condition updates, must be in the resident's current record and available to staff.(d) If the evaluation is revised and updated at the quarterly review, changes must be dated and initialed and prior historical information must be maintained.(5) The resident evaluation must address the following elements:(a) Resident routines and preferences including:(A) Customary routines, such as those related to sleeping, eating, and bathing;(B) Interests, hobbies, and social and leisure activities;(C) Spiritual and cultural preferences and traditions; and(D) Additional elements as listed in 411-054-0027(2).(b) Physical health status including:(A) List of current diagnoses;(B) List of medications and PRN use;(C) Visits to health practitioners, emergency room, hospital, or nursing facility in the past year; and(D) Vital signs if indicated by diagnoses, health problems, or medications.(c) Mental health issues including:(A) Presence of depression, thought disorders, or behavioral or mood problems;(B) History of treatment; and(C) Effective non drug interventions.(d) Cognition, including:(A) Memory;(B) Orientation;(C) Confusion; and(D) Decision-making abilities.(e) Personality, including how the person copes with change or challenging situations.(f) Communication and sensory abilities including:(A) Hearing;(B) Vision;(C) Speech;(D) Use of assistive devices; and(E) Ability to understand and be understood.(g) Activities of daily living including:(A) Toileting, bowel, and bladder management;(B) Dressing, grooming, bathing, and personal hygiene;(C) Mobility ambulation, transfers, and assistive devices; and(D) Eating, dental status, and assistive devices.(h) Independent activities of daily living including:(A) Ability to manage medications;(B) Ability to use call system;(C) Housework and laundry; and(D) Transportation.(i) Pain pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions, including how a person expresses pain or discomfort.(j) Skin condition.(k) Nutrition habits, fluid preferences, and weight if indicated.(l) List of treatments type, frequency, and level of assistance needed.(m) Indicators of nursing needs, including potential for delegated nursing tasks.(n) Review of risk indicators including:(A) Fall risk or history;(B) Emergency evacuation ability;(C) Complex medication regimen;(D) History of dehydration or unexplained weight loss or gain;(E) Recent losses;(F) Unsuccessful prior placements;(G) Elopement risk or history;(H) Smoking. The resident's ability to smoke without causing burns or injury to themselves or others or damage to property must be evaluated and addressed in the resident's service plan; and(I) Alcohol and drug use. The resident's use of alcohol or the use of drugs not prescribed by a physician must be evaluated and addressed in the resident's service plan.(o) Environmental factors that impact the resident's behavior including, but not limited to:(A) Noise.(B) Lighting.(C) Room temperature. (6) If the information has not changed from the previous evaluation period, the information does not need to be repeated. A dated and initialed notation of no changes is sufficient. The prior evaluation must then be kept in the current resident record for reference. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure the resident’s initial evaluation addressed all required elements, for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#4) whose initial evaluation was reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 08/2024 with diagnoses including hypertension and hypothyroidism. The resident’s initial evaluation lacked information regarding the following required elements: * Customary routines: sleeping, eating, bathing; * Non-drug interventions for mental health issues; * Dental status; * Pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for pain; * Emergency evacuation ability; and * Complex medication regimen. The missing elements were reviewed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (RN), Staff 3 (Wellness Director), Staff 5 (RCC) and Staff 10 (Regional Wellness Director) on 08/28/24. They acknowledged the findings.

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 and document what actions or interventions were needed for short term changes of condition, communicate actions and/or interventions to staff on each shift, and monitor the change of condition at least weekly until resolved for 3 of 3 sampled residents (#s 1, 2 and 3) who experienced changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 06/2024 with diagnoses including left hip fracture and cerebrovascular accident. The current service plan dated 07/22/24, Temporary Service Plans (TSPs), outside provider notes, and progress notes dated 06/18/24 through 08/26/24 were reviewed. Observations and interviews with resident and staff were completed between 08/26/24 and 08/28/24. The facility failed to determine what action or intervention was needed for the resident, communicate the action or intervention to staff on each shift, and/or document weekly progress until the condition resolved for the following conditions: * 06/18/24 – New admission to facility; * 06/18/24 – Redness/rash to buttocks; * 07/17/24 – New medications; * 07/20/24 – Admission to hospice services; * 07/22/24 – Skin tear to right arm; * 07/30/24 – Redness with open areas on buttocks; * 08/01/24 – New medication; * 08/04/24 – Left wrist pain/swelling; * 08/07/24 – New medication and medication change; and * 08/20/24 – Medication change. The need to ensure the facility determined and documented what action or interventions were needed for changes of condition, the interventions were communicated to staff on all shifts, and were monitored at least weekly through resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (RN), Staff 5 (RCC) and Staff 10 (Regional Wellness Director) on 08/28/24. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 06/2022 with diagnoses including neurogenic bladder, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and chronic pain. The resident was fully able to manage his/her health care needs. The resident’s record, including the last 90 days of progress notes, the most recent evaluation and service plan and Temporary Service Plans (TSPs), was reviewed during the survey. The following issues were identified: a. On 06/09/24, the resident notified a MT of a bump on his/her nose. The facility RN evaluated the condition and notified the physician, who referred the resident to an oncologist. The facility RN documented monitoring of the condition weekly until 06/26/24. The next and final note in the record was then written on 07/24/24 where the RN documented there was some redness, and he had not received lab results from the resident’s biopsy. There were no additional noted indicating the status of the condition and whether it was determined to be resolved. b. On 08/02/24, the resident’s right eye was identified to be puffy with discharge. The resident was diagnosed with conjunctivitis and prescribed eye drops, which s/he was able to self-administer. The facility documented monitoring of the condition on 08/05/24 and 08/16/24. The facility failed to document monitoring of the condition at least weekly and did not document whether the condition was determined to be resolved. The need to ensure the facility had a system for documenting monitoring of short-term changes of condition at least weekly until resolved was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (RN), Staff 3 (Wellness Director), Staff 5 (RCC) and Staff 10 (Regional Wellness Director) on 08/28/24. They acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 10/2020 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s Disease, atrial fibrillation, and depression. In an acuity interview with Staff 6 (MT) and Staff 7 (MT) on 08/26/24, Resident 2 was identified as a high fall risk who had experienced recent falls. Review of the resident’s service plan, dated 07/20/24, progress notes, dated 05/26/24 through 08/26/24, Temporary Service Plans (TSPs) and incident reports indicated the resident had experienced six falls in the previous 90 days. The facility failed to determine and document what actions or interventions were needed for the resident in response to the series of documented falls, as evidenced by the following: In the last ninety days, there was one TSP, dated 07/30/24, which simply stated “Fall-no injuries”. There were no new interventions provided, and no instructions for staff. Though the facility completed an incident report following each fall, which summarized what had happened, there was no documented evidence new interventions were developed, or the existing interventions were evaluated for effectiveness in preventing further falls. On 08/29/24, the need to ensure interventions were developed in response to changes of condition, conveyed to staff on all shifts, and monitored for effectiveness was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (Registered Nurse), Staff 5 (Resident Care Coordinator), and Staff 10 (regional Wellness Director). They acknowledged the findings.

OAR 411-054-0055 (1)(f-h) Systems: Treatment Orders (f) Medication and treatment orders must be carried out as prescribed.(g) Written, signed physician or other legally recognized practitioner orders must be documented in the resident's facility record for all medications and treatments that the facility is responsible to administer.(h) Only a physician or other legally recognized prescribing practitioner is authorized to make changes in a medication or treatment order. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure medication and treatment orders were carried out as prescribed and written, signed physician or other legally recognized practitioner orders were documented in the facility record for all medications and treatments the facility was responsible to administer, for 2 of 4 sampled residents (#s 3 and 4) whose orders and MAR were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 06/2022 with diagnoses including neurogenic bladder, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and chronic pain. Review of the resident’s most recent signed list of physician orders and the 08/01/24 through 08/25/24 MAR indicated the following: * The MAR indicated the facility had been administering Resident 3 sennosides (for constipation) 8.6 mg oral tablet – 1 tablet twice daily without a signed physician order in the resident’s record. * The MAR indicated the facility had been administering Resident 3 polyethylene glycol 3350 oral powder (for constipation) – 1 glass every other day without a signed physician order in the resident’s record. The current order was for the medication to be administered daily. The need to ensure written, signed physician orders were documented in the facility record was reviewed with Staff 3 (Wellness Director) and Staff 5 (RCC) on 08/27/24 and with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (RN), Staff 3, Staff 5 and Staff 10 (Regional Wellness Director) on 08/28/24. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 08/2024 with diagnoses including hypertension and hypothyroidism. Review of the resident’s most recent signed list of physician orders and the 08/01/24 through 08/25/24 MAR indicated the following deficiencies: * Resident 4 had signed Physician orders to “Notify PCP [primary care physician] if systolic blood pressure [BP] is greater than 180 or less than 100 or the diastolic BP is greater than 90 or less than 40 unless otherwise specified.” The resident’s BP was outside these parameters three times between 08/23/24 and 08/27/24, and there was no documented evidence the facility notified the physician as ordered. * Resident 4 had signed Physician orders to “Notify PCP [primary care physician] of pulse greater than 100 or less than 50 unless otherwise specified.” There was no documented evidence the facility was obtaining the resident’s pulse as ordered. The need to ensure medication and treatment orders were carried out as prescribed was reviewed with Staff 3 (Wellness Director) and Staff 5 (RCC) on 08/27/24 and with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (RN), Staff 3, Staff 5 and Staff 10 (Regional Wellness Director) on 08/28/24.

An alternative process may be used only with a written exception from the Department.(A) The MAR may be signed as the medications are set-up or poured. Medications must not be set-up in advance for more than one administration time. If a medicine cup or other individual container is used to set-up the medications, it must be placed in a closed compartment labeled with the resident's name. Changes to the MAR that occur after the medication is delivered, must be documented by the same staff person who administered the medication.(B) The facility may choose to sign the MAR after the medication is administered to a specific resident and prior to the next resident-specific medication or treatment.(b) MEDICATION RECORD. At minimum, the medication record for each resident that the facility administers medications to, must include:(A) Current month, day and year.(B) Name of medications, reason for use, dosage, route and date and time given.(C) Any medication specific instructions, if applicable (e.g., significant side effects, time sensitive dosage, when to call the prescriber or nurse).(D) Resident allergies and sensitivities, if any.(E) Resident specific parameters and instructions for p.r.n. medications.(F) Initials of the person administering the medication.
