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 determine and document what actions or interventions were needed for short-term changes of condition, communicate resident-specific instructions and interventions to staff on each shift, and monitor changes of condition at least weekly until resolution for 3 of 4 sampled residents (#s 2, 4, and 5) who experienced changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 5 was admitted to the facility in 11/2023 with diagnoses including chronic kidney disease. The resident’s clinical record was reviewed, observations were made, and staff were interviewed during the survey. The resident’s skin monitoring documentation, 06/05/25 to 08/21/25 progress notes, and “Notification of a Change in Condition” and “Service Plan” forms were reviewed. The following was identified: The resident was noted to have experienced the following short-term changes of condition: a. 06/05/25: Skin tear near left elbow. The resident was placed on alert monitoring; however, there was no documented evidence the skin tear was monitored for progress at least weekly to resolution. b. 06/21/25: Resident reported sores in his/her mouth. The resident’s returned from a doctor’s visit with new medication orders for chlorhexidine mouthwash and triamcinolone dental paste daily. The resident was placed on alert monitoring; however, there was no documented evidence the mouth sores had been monitored for progress at least weekly to resolution. In an interview with Staff 1 (Administrator) on 08/26/25 at 10:46 am, she confirmed the facility lacked documented evidence Resident 5 was monitored with progress noted at least weekly through resolution for the skin tear to left arm and sores in his/her mouth. The need to monitor short-term changes in condition with progress noted at least weekly until the condition is resolved was reviewed with Staff 1 and Staff 2 (RN) on 08/27/25. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 2 moved into the facility in 05/2021 with diagnoses including type 2 diabetes. The resident’s service plan dated 07/23/25, progress notes dated 05/25/25 through 08/20/25 and corresponding incident reports were reviewed. The resident was noted to have experienced the following change of condition: On 07/28/25, Resident 2 was sent to the emergency room due to reports of pain, discoloration, and weakness in his/her legs. S/he was diagnosed with bilateral deep vein thromboses (blood clots) and admitted to the hospital. Resident 2 returned to the facility on 08/01/25 with orders for a new medication, apixaban, a blood thinner. There was no documented evidence resident-specific actions or interventions were determined and communicated on each shift regarding monitoring signs and symptoms of the DVT, such as heat/redness/pain and effectiveness or adverse effects of the apixaban, such as bruising/dizziness/gastrointestinal upset. In an interview on 08/26/25 at 10:35 am, Staff 1 (Administrator) acknowledged no resident-specific actions/interventions had been communicated to staff. The need to ensure the facility determined and documented resident-specific actions or interventions for residents who experienced a short-term change of condition and communicated the interventions to staff was reviewed with Staff 1 on 08/27/25 at 2:00 pm. She acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 4 moved into the facility in 04/2017 with diagnoses including stroke and type 2 diabetes. The resident's clinical record, including progress notes dated 05/29/25 through 08/23/25, the MAR dated 07/01/25 through 07/08/25, and a corresponding incident report was reviewed, and interviews with staff were conducted. On 07/08/25, staff documented, “Resident did not get [his/her] morning medication due to given to another resident.” The missed medications included apixaban, a blood thinner to prevent blood clots, enalapril, for high blood pressure, metoprolol, for heart failure, glipizide, for diabetes, and metformin, for diabetes. There was no documented evidence actions or interventions were determined and communicated to staff on each shift, and there was no documented evidence the resident was monitored for adverse effects of missing the medications, such as signs and symptoms of a stroke or high blood sugar. During an interview on 08/27/25 at 10:20 am, Staff 1 (Administrator) acknowledged no actions or interventions were determined, and the resident was not monitored through resolution regarding the missed medications. The need to ensure actions or interventions were determined and documented for short-term changes of condition, determined actions or interventions were communicated to staff on all shifts, and changes were monitored with weekly progress noted until the condition resolves was discussed with Staff 1 on 08/27/25 at 10:20 am. She acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1. Resident 5, 2, 4 will be assessed by facility RN for issues identified in survey results and documented in progress notes 2. All short term changes of condition will be reviewed by management team during daily stand up meeting Monday-Friday. Facility nurse will review documentation throughout alert charting process and remove from charting when deemed appropriate to do so based on resident needs. 3. Documentation will be audited daily until compliance met and then quarterly through QAPI process 4. Administrator or designee

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 for 1 of 1 sampled resident (# 3) who had a significant change of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 02/2025 with diagnoses including low bone mass. Resident 3's progress notes and physician communications, dated 06/16/25 through 08/07/25, revealed the resident had been identified with an overall decline, including cognition, and experienced falls and depression. The resident continued to decline, and on 08/06/25 was placed on hospice services. This constituted a significant change of condition, requiring an RN assessment that included findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment. There was no documented RN assessment reflecting the resident had a decline and was placed on hospice. In an interview on 08/27/25, Staff 2 (RN) confirmed the lack of an assessment for the resident’s significant change of condition. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed related to significant changes in condition which documented findings, resident status and interventions made as a result of the assessment was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 and Staff 3 (Director of Health Services) on 08/27/25. They acknowledged the findings.
