      RULE SSA-5.0182(1), FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE (RESIDENT CARE - SUPERVISION STANDARDS)

      CLASS I VIOLATION


    7. AHCA re-alleges and incorporates paragraphs ( 1)

Based on Based on interview and record review, it was determined that the facility failed to provide appropriate supervision for each resident including: General awareness of the resident's whereabouts and a written record, updated after a major incident for 1 of 3 sampled residents reviewed (Resident #1). The findings include the following:

    10. Record review on 8/11/11 revealed Resident #1 was


      admitted to the facility on 1/22/09 with a diagnosis to include schizophrenia and renal cell cancer. A facility note on 7/20/11 documented the resident did not return to the facility until 2:00 AM. Note on 7/23/11 documented the resident did not return to the facility until 11:30 PM. On 7/28/11 the resident left the facility. A Resident Elopement Prevention Drill Form dated 7/29/11 at 7:00AM did not identify the employees who noticed the resident missing, the time she was last seen, employees who assisted in the search or a description of the resident. Further review of the record did not contain an incident report.

    11. During an interview with the administrator on 8/11/11 at 10:45 AM, she stated the facility has not identified any


      residents who may be at risk for elopement. She also stated the residents are not required to sign in or out when they leave the property as it is all done verbally. The surveyor was unable to determine the last time Resident #1 was seen at the facility.

    12. A review with the administrator of the facility staffing schedule identifies one staff member working the 11:00 PM-7:00 AM shift. Two days a week the staff member working the overnight shift works a 16 hour double shift. During the review the administrator stated this is the facility's permanent schedule.

    13. A review with the administrator of the policy and procedure manual did not identify a policy regarding resident supervision. A review of the elopement policy revealed the facility will: "conduct elopement drills with all the staff twice a year to protect our residents from elopement." "Any elopement will be documented in the resident file along with a copy of the adverse incident report. "A review of the elopement drills did not identify a drill in 2011 and only one drill in

      2010.


    14. During an interview on 8/11/11 at 11:46 AM with


      several unsampled residents, they were asked if they had to notify anyone when they leave the facility's property. All the residents interviewed stated they did not need to notify anyone,


      and they just needed to be back by 11:00 PM. As of 8/11/11 at 3:00 PM Resident #1 has not been found.

    15. Based on the foregoing facts, Briarwood Manor violated Rule SSA-5.0182(1), Florida Administrative Code, herein classified as a Class I violation, which warrants an assessed fine of $10,000.00.

      RULE SSA-5.0185(4)&(5), FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE (MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION STANDARDS)

Based on record review and interview, it was determined that the facility failed to have medications available to administer in accordance with a health care provider's order or prescription label, for 1 of 3 sampled residents reviewed (Resident #3). The findings include the following.

    18. Resident #3 was admitted to the facility on 6/3/11 with a diagnosis to include Psychosis and COPD. An 1823 health assessment form completed by the physician on 6/14/11 identified


      the residents medications to include Simvastin 40 mg 1 tab daily and Risperidone 4 mg 1 tablet HS. A review of the medication observation record (MOR) did not list the medications.

    19. During an interview on 8/11/11 at 2:30 PM with the med tech, it was confirmed the MOR did not include Simvastin 40 mg 1 tab daily or Risperidone 4 mg 1 tablet HS. She acknowledged the facility did not have the medications and stated they were probably discontinued. The facility was not able to provide evidence the physician discontinued any of the resident's medications. The facility must maintain a daily medication evaluation record (MOR) for each resident who receives assistance with self-administration of medication or medication administration. The MOR must include a chart recording each time the medication is taken, any missed dosages, refusals to take medication, or medication errors. The MOR must be immediately updated each time the medication is offered or administered.

    20. Based on the foregoing facts, Briarwood Manor violated

      assisted in the search or a description of the resident. Further review of the record did not contain an incident report.

    24. During an interview with the administrator on 8/11/11 at 10:45AM, she stated the facility has not identified any residents who may be at risk for elopement. She also stated she faxed an adverse incident report to the agency on 7/29/11 but could not provide confirmation. At 10:55 AM the AHCA complaint unit was contacted and confirmed the agency had not received the required notification regarding the elopement.
