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 ensure residents were evaluated, referred to the facility nurse, changes were documented, and the service plan was updated for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#2) who experienced a significant weight gain, and failed to ensure actions or interventions were determined, documented, communicated to staff on each shift and weekly progress was noted to resolution for 2 of 3 sampled residents (#s 1 and 3) who experienced short-term changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 2 moved into the facility in 11/2015 with diagnoses including inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (a condition that causes water retention). The resident’s progress notes and service plan addendums dated 01/01/25 to 03/31/25, service plan dated 03/13/25, 03/01/25 to 03/31/25 MAR, and six months of weights were reviewed. The following was identified: Resident 2’s recorded weights were as follows: * 02/15/25 – 113.7 pounds; * 03/09/25 – 115.8 pounds; * 03/11/25 – 131.8 pounds; * 03/15/25 – 131.7 pounds; and * 04/01/25 – 127 pounds (taken during survey). From 03/09/25 to 03/11/25, the resident gained 16 pounds or 13.8% of his/her bodyweight, which was a significant change of condition. Subsequent weights confirmed the significant weight gain, which required the facility to evaluate the resident, refer to the facility nurse, document the change, and update the service plan as needed. There was no documented evidence the above was completed. At 12:32 pm on 04/01/25, Staff 3 (Director of Nursing Services) stated she had not been notified of the significant weight gain. The need to ensure significant changes of condition were referred to the facility nurse, evaluated, documented, and the service plan was updated as needed was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (Resident Care Manager) on 04/02/25. They acknowledged the findings, and no further information was provided. ?2. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2019 with diagnoses including schizophrenia. The resident's 01/01/25 through 03/30/25 progress notes, 03/13/25 service plan, evaluations, incident reports, and service plan addendums were reviewed. The following changes of condition were identified: * An addendum to service plan, dated 03/21/25, indicated post surgical instructions which included “Staff will need to monitor [his/her] incision sight on [his/her] head.” There was no documented evidence the facility monitored the resident at least weekly to resolution. The need to ensure short-term changes of condition was monitored at least weekly to resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 3. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 03/2023 with diagnoses including anxiety due to PTSD. A review of the resident's clinical records dated 01/01/25 through 03/31/25 indicated the following changes of condition: * 02/14/25 – Resident returned from emergency room visit; * 03/05/25 - Resident had a non-injury fall; * 03/24/25 – RN/LPN noted “bruise above left eyebrow”’ and * Resident experienced nine non-injury falls between 01/05/25 and 03/26/25. There was no documented evidence the facility had evaluated these changes to determine actions and interventions or provided written instructions to staff related to fall interventions. The need to ensure resident-specific instructions or interventions were developed, implemented, and reviewed for effectiveness were discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (Resident Care Manager), and Staff 3 (Director of Nursing) on 04/02/25 at 12:30 pm. They acknowledged the findings. A new fall evaluation form was provided to survey team on 04/02/25 at 1:45 pm.

OAR 411-054-0045 (1)(a-f)(A)(C-F) Resident Health Services Resident Health Services (1) RESIDENT HEALTH SERVICES. The facility must provide health services and have systems in place to respond to the 24-hour care needs of residents. The system must:(a) Include written policies and procedures on medical emergency response for all shifts.(b) Include an Oregon licensed nurse who is regularly scheduled for onsite duties at the facility and who is available for phone consultation.(c) Assure an adequate number of nursing hours relevant to the census and acuity of the resident population. IICs must meet contract requirements concerning nursing hours.(d) Ensure that the facility RN is notified of nursing needs as identified in OAR 411-054-0034 (Resident Move-In and Evaluation) or OAR 411-054-0036 (Service Plan - General).(e) Define the duties, responsibilities and limitations of the facility nurse in policy and procedures, admission, and disclosure material.(f) Licensed nurses must deliver the following nursing services:(A) Registered nurse (RN) assessment in accordance with facility policy and resident condition. At minimum, the RN must assess all residents with a significant change of condition. The assessment may be a full or problem focused assessment as determined by the RN. A chart review or phone consultation may be performed as part of this assessment. The RN must document findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of this assessment. The assessment must be timely, but is not required prior to emergency response in acute situations.(C) Monitoring of Resident Condition. The facility must specify the role of the licensed nurse in the facility's monitoring and reporting system.(D) Participation on Service Planning Team. If the resident experiences a significant change of condition and the service plan is updated, the licensed nurse must participate on the Service Planning Team, or must review the service plan with date and signature within 48 hours.(E) Health Care Teaching and Counseling. A licensed nurse must provide individual and group education activities as required by individual service plans and facility policies.(F) Intermittent Direct Nursing Services. If a resident requires nursing services that are not available through hospice, home health, a third-party referral, or the task cannot be delegated to facility staff, the facility must arrange to have such services provided on an intermittent or temporary basis. 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 assessment had been completed that included resident status and interventions made as a result of the assessment for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#3) who had a significant weight loss. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2019 with diagnoses including schizophrenia. The resident’s 10/20/24 through 01/19/25 facility weight records, 01/01/25 through 03/30/25 progress notes, 03/13/25 service plan, evaluations, interoffice memos, and service plan addendums were reviewed. Interviews with staff were conducted. On 03/21/25 Staff 3 (Director of Nursing Services) completed an RN assessment for a significant change of condition regarding “Res [Resident 3] return from the hospital for SDH [subdural hematoma] after a fall. Has some significant changes.” The RN assessment noted weight loss of “27#’s [pounds]” but no additional information about the resident’s status or interventions related to the weight loss were noted. The most recent facility weight records revealed Resident 3 weighed 223.4 pounds on 01/29/25. On 04/02/25 Staff 3 confirmed Resident 3 was last weighed in the hospital and was “approximately 200 pounds.” Between approximately 01/29/25 and 03/21/25, Resident 3 lost 23.4 pounds, or 10% of his/her total body weight in less than two months, which was considered severe and triggered a significant change of condition. There were no additional weight records to review, and Staff 3 confirmed there was no documented evidence the facility had taken Resident 3’s weight since returning from to the facility. Resident 3 was weighed during survey on 04/01/25 and was 211 pounds. During an interview on 04/01/25 at 1:00 pm, Staff 3 acknowledged Resident 3 had a significant weight loss while in the hospital related to not eating. “[S/he] had childhood trauma and won’t eat around people. I expected that [s/he] would gain weight once [s/he] was back and I would just watch to see if [s/he] was eating.” Staff 3 acknowledged the RN assessment lacked information regarding resident status and interventions. Prior to exit, Staff 3 completed a progress note that included additional information regarding resident status and identified and communicated interventions to staff. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed which documented resident status and interventions made as a result of the assessment for all significant changes of condition was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (Resident Care Manager) and Staff 3 on 04/02/25 at 1:15 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

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 for 2 of 3 sampled residents (#s 2 and 3) whose orders were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 2 moved into the facility in 11/2015 with diagnoses including traumatic brain injury and was identified in the acuity interview as having behaviors. The resident’s 03/01/25 to 03/31/25 MAR, progress notes, and current physician orders were reviewed. The following was identified: The resident had an order for clonazepam 1 mg, give 1 tablet as needed for anxiety prior to medical appointments or procedures. The MAR showed staff administered the medication on 03/08/25 and 03/23/25 for behaviors. At 12:32 pm on 04/01/25, Staff 3 (Director of Nursing Services) confirmed the medication was to be given for anxiety prior to medical appointments and not for behaviors. The need to ensure medication orders were carried out as prescribed was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (Resident Care Manager) on 04/02/25. They acknowledged the findings, and no further information was provided. ?2. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2019 with diagnoses including schizophrenia. The resident's 03/01/25 through 03/31/25 MARs, 03/21/25 physician orders and the 03/21/25 After Visit Summary from a hospital discharge were reviewed and noted the following: 1. The MAR showed the resident had an order for oxycodone 5 mg, administer half to 1 tablet every 6 hours PRN for moderate to severe pain. The After Visit Summary noted it was available to be picked up at the hospital pharmacy. On 04/02/25 at 10:10 am the surveyor attempted to review the Substance Distribution log and the oxycodone with Staff 2 (Resident Care Manager). Staff 2 acknowledged the medication was not in the facility. Staff 2 indicated when a medication is filled at the hospital “we have them fax over the prescription to [facility’s] pharmacy or we would send someone over to the hospital to pick it up.” On 04/02/25 at 12:15 pm, Staff 3 (Director of Nursing Services) indicated she requested the medication be delivered urgently. 2. A treatment order for white petroleum ointment was to be applied to a skull incision twice daily for 5 days between 03/21/25 through 03/26/25. The MAR revealed the 8 PM dose was not administered on 03/25/25 and 03/26/26 because “the drug/item was not available.” The treatment was administered at 8:00 am on 03/26/26. On 04/02/25 Staff 2 (Resident Care Manager) acknowledged the same medication was also available in the supply closet. The need to ensure physician or other legally recognized practitioner orders were carried out as prescribed was reviewed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 and Staff 3 on 04/02/25 at 1:15 pm.
