Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at D Scott Hudgens Center For Skilled Nursing, The during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility inaccurately reported staffing data to CMS, indicating insufficient RN and licensed nursing coverage on specific dates. However, a review showed that staff was present, and discrepancies may have arisen from manual data entry and salaried staff not clocking in.
The facility failed to have a qualified Infection Preventionist (IP) as required by their policies. The DON, responsible for infection control, had not completed the necessary specialized training, and no other staff member was certified as an IP. This placed all 31 residents at risk for potential transmission of infections.
The facility failed to develop comprehensive care plans for two residents, one with dementia and Rhett's Syndrome, and another with schizophrenia. The first resident's care plan lacked interventions for cognitive deficits, while the second resident's care plan did not address antipsychotic medication use. The MDS Coordinator and DON acknowledged these oversights, indicating a lapse in the facility's care planning process.
Inaccurate Staffing Data Reporting to CMS
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accurately report its staffing data to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for the first quarter of fiscal year 2024. Specifically, the facility's Payroll Based Journal (PBJ) report indicated that there was no Registered Nurse (RN) coverage for at least eight hours on several dates in October and December 2023. Additionally, the report showed a lack of licensed nursing coverage for 24 hours on multiple dates in December 2023. However, a review of the facility's staffing hours and payroll verification revealed that an RN was present on the dates in question, and licensed staff was available 24 hours on the specified December dates. Interviews with facility staff, including the Accounting Assistant (AA) and the Administrator, revealed potential reasons for the discrepancies. The AA, who was responsible for manually uploading staffing hours into the CMS reporting system, suggested that inaccurate information might have been provided by the Payroll Specialist (PS), who was unavailable for comment. The Administrator noted that the facility's salaried staff, including some licensed staff, did not clock in, which may have contributed to the reporting errors. The facility relied on an electronic payroll system to document and verify hours, but the manual process of uploading data to CMS may have led to the inaccuracies reported.
Lack of Qualified Infection Preventionist
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to designate a qualified Infection Preventionist (IP) responsible for the infection prevention and control program, as required by their own policies. The facility's policy mandates that the IP must be qualified by education, training, experience, or certification and must have completed specialized training in infection prevention and control. However, the Director of Nursing (DON), who was identified as the person responsible for infection control practices, had not completed the necessary specialized training. The DON had only completed one module of the required training, and there was no other staff member certified as an IP at the facility. This deficiency was identified through staff interviews and a review of the facility's policies. The Administrator confirmed that the DON was responsible for coordinating the infection control practices, despite the lack of specialized training. This oversight placed all 31 residents at risk for potential transmission of infections and communicable diseases, as the facility did not have a qualified individual overseeing the infection prevention and control program.
Failure to Develop Comprehensive Care Plans for Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop comprehensive person-centered care plans for two residents, R13 and R29, as required by their policy. For R13, who has diagnoses including dementia, Rhett's Syndrome, anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, and profound intellectual disabilities, the care plan lacked individualized interventions for cognitive deficits/dementia. Although R13's care plan included interventions for antidepressant and psychotropic medication use, as well as behavior management related to Rhett's Syndrome, it did not address cognitive concerns or monitor progress towards therapeutic goals. The MDS Coordinator acknowledged the absence of these interventions and confirmed that they should have been included. For R29, who has schizophrenia and receives antipsychotic medications, the care plan did not include a focus area, goals, or interventions related to the use of these medications. Despite the physician's orders for clozapine and Risperdal, the care plan failed to address the management of these medications. The MDS Coordinator admitted that the inclusion of antipsychotic medication use in R29's care plan was overlooked, and the DON confirmed that such oversight was not in line with the facility's expectations. Interviews with the MDS Coordinator and the DON revealed that the facility's process for developing and reviewing care plans was not adequately followed. The MDS Coordinator was responsible for ensuring care plans were accurate and up-to-date, while the DON or another RN was supposed to review them for accuracy. However, the lack of individualized interventions for cognitive impairments in R13's care plan and the absence of a focus area for antipsychotic medication use in R29's care plan indicate a failure in this process.
