N/A
Details

Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure injuries of unknown cause were reported to the local SPD office or the local AAA as suspected abuse, unless an immediate facility investigation reasonably concluded and documented that the injury was not the result of abuse for 1 of 2 sampled residents (# 3) whose incidents were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to:


Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 06/2024 with diagnoses including stroke.


The resident's Temporary Service Plan (TSP), dated 06/14/24, an incident report, progress notes dated 06/14/24 through 06/23/24, Oregon Shift Reports, and interviews with staff revealed the following:


Resident 3's TSP, dated 06/14/24, directed staff to reposition him/her every two hours and PRN.


A progress note relating to the 06/22/24 unwitnessed fall, stated that Resident 3 was "found on the floor yesterday morning" and that the resident was "unable to say what happened." The note goes on to report Resident 3 had "a small skin tear to [the] right foot, and a small abrasion to [his/her] left forehead."


The Oregon Shift Report, dated 06/22/24, reported staff repositioned Resident 3 every three hours on the "Night Shift." And on the "Day Shift", the resident "had a fall out of bed" with "bruising on forehead, shoulder, cheek [left] side."


The incident report dated 06/22/24 had no documented evidence the physical injury was not the result of abuse.


On 06/27/24, Staff 3 (Health and Wellness Coordinator) stated she had not reported the above incident to the local SPD or AAA office. Survey requested the facility report the incident to the local office.  


On 06/27/24 at 10:48 am, verification was received of the report to the local office.


The need to ensure all injuries of unknown cause were reported to the local SPD office, or the local AAA, as suspected abuse, unless an immediate facility investigation reasonably concluded and documented that the physical injury was not the result of abuse was discussed with Staff 1 (Business Office Coordinator), Staff 3, and Staff 7 (Designee) on 06/27/24. They acknowledged the findings.   

Plan of Correction

On June 27th, 2024 the incident of injury of unknown injury was reported according to OAR 411-054-0028.


Training will be provided to facility staff specifically related to abuse/neglect reporting for injuries of unknown origin including mandatory reporting. Understanding and knowledge check with completion of test related to training. If applicable a second training will be offered for any facility employees that missed the first training. Training will be conducted by July 31st, 2024.


New hires will be have training on mandatory reporting and reporting on injuries of unknown origin. Facility will review in daily stand-up along with reviewing shift to shift report and any incidents that occurred that would warrant reporting.
