?482.12 Condition of Participation: Governing Body - NOT MET
Based on interviews and record reviews, the hospital failed to:
? ensure proper professional standards of practice related to food safety were followed. (A-0083)
? ensure food was prepared, stored and served in a safe manner by foodservice operation, identified as TT's Cafe. (A-0084)
? ensure that TT's Cafe was licensed as a restaurant. (A-0085)
The totality of these issues put at risk each inpatient, visitor and staff who purchased food at TT's Cafe on 4/22/2013, 4/23/2013 and 4/24/2013, resulting in Wisconsin's Public Health agency closing it down.

Tag No.: A0084
Based on interviews and record reviews, the governing body of the facility failed to ensure the following:
* Food is prepared, stored and served in a safe manner by contracted food service operation located in the hospital in 1 of 2 food prep areas observed (TT Cafe). This has the potential to affect all inpatients, visitors, and staff who purchase food from the cafe.
* Windows were adequately cleaned and maintained under contracted janitorial service in 2 of 4 units observed (43 A, 53 B).
A referral was made to Wisconsin's Public Health department which resulted in the cafe being closed down (cross reference A0618, A0619 and A0622) This had the potential to effect all 78 patients receiving treatment at this facility.
Findings include:
Food Service area, known as TT's Cafe, located in hospital, was operating as a restaurant, without a license and storing, preparing and serving food in an unsafe manner ultimately putting patients/families/visitors at risk for foodborne illness. There were no guidelines or implementation of guidelines for acceptable hygiene practices and kitchen sanitation.
According to the Journal of Food Protection, Vol. 75, No.12, 2012, Pages 2173-2178 ["Restaurant Food Cooling Practices, "
" Improper cooling of hot food by restaurants is a significant cause of foodborne illness."] On 4/25/2013, referral was made to Wisconsin's Department of Public Health and TT's Cafe was closed down.
On 4/24/13 from 2:45 p.m. to 4:07 p.m. the following observations were made in the area of TT's Cafe:
? Improper cooling of foods
? Hands not washed as required - using hand sanitizer instead of washing hands
? No handwashing sink.
? Food items unlabeled/not dated
? Dirty equipment and single-use disposable items
? Food stored in inappropriate containers
? Food items commingled with maintenance tools
? No system in place to ensure sanitizing solution is at correct strength - potential to be at toxic levels when smell is used for determination.
? Single-use items stored incorrectly, contaminating eating/drinking surface
? Counter tops and shelving dirty and chipped
? Serving utensils stored inside container and bag of ice
? No thermometers for checking temperatures of food items
? No thermometers for checking cooler/freezer temperatures
? Items stored directly onto floor
? Garbage receptacles without lids
On 4/24/13 at 3/54 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., surveyor showed O-KK pork soup cooling on the counter. O-KK stated that is was not appropriate. There should be ice added to cool it down, or use a cooling device such as an ice paddle. That is how O-KK stated items at O-KK's other place are cooled.

1. Observation on 04/22/13 included a tour of the 5-53 B Adolescent Inpatient Unit from 10:55 a.m. to 12:05 p.m. and 2:25 p.m. to 3:25 p.m. accompanied by Nursing Program Coordinator (NPC) M.
Observation at 11:00 a.m. identified Room #1 with a double paned window to the outside with cobwebs covering the entire bottom, inside the double paned glass. The room was currently occupied by 2 patients. During the interview at 11:00 a.m., NPC M stated the window would have to be disassembled in order to clean inside the panes of glass.
Observation at 2:50 p.m. identified Room #38 with a double paned window to the outside with cobwebs covering the entire bottom, inside the double paned glass, greater on the right than the left. The room was currently occupied by 1 patient. During the interview at 2:50 p.m., NPC M stated that since the window was bolted shut, there would have to be a joint effort between housekeeping and maintenance to clean it.
Per review on 4/24/13 of the contract with UU (undated), it stated under Behavioral Health Department-Psychiatric Hospital - pg. 27: Those items requiring periodic cleaning such as windows and window coverings will be cleaned at the specific intervals by prior arrangement with the Contractor and management. There was no specific cleaning identified of the areas in between the double paned windows.

Based on observations, 5 patient interviews (#7, #22, #31, #32, #33), 3 staff interviews (OT OO, IDN D, CRS Z) and record reviews, patients are not aware of their right to private, personal calls. This can potentially affect all 78 patients receiving treatment at this facility.
Findings are as follows:
On 4/23/13, 11:45 AM, review of Policy & Procedure "PATIENT RIGHTS POLICY AND PROCEDURE," Policy Number ADM #020, and last date revised, 2/1/11, bullet number 18, states "Each Patient shall be permitted to make a reasonable number of private, personal calls. Patient's yellow handout (located in "ACUTE INPATIENT ORIENTATION MATERIALS " ), "Client Rights & Grievance Procedure," dated 4/18/11, does not address the right to privacy during phone calls based on the un-numbered bullet which states "You have the right to use a telephone daily, but the staff can impose reasonable limits on your use of the telephone."
On 4/22/13, area 43-A, 10:38 AM observed Pt #8 on wall phone in hallway and heard conversation from nurses' station about pt. going home. There was no privacy during the call. Pt #7 was walking up to Pt #8 while on the phone. At 10:41 AM, observed Pt #7 was on wall phone with staff and other patients in the area.
On 4/24/13, area 43-A, 9:38 AM, asked Pt #33 where would one go to make a private call. Pt #33 stated does not know - would probably have to use the phone on the wall. Pt #33 stated has seen people on the wall phone and could hear what was being said if Pt #33 wanted to listen.
On 4/24/13, area 43-A, 9:42 AM, asked Pt #32 where would one go to make a private call? Pt #32 stated there is no privacy whatsoever - would not know where to make a private call or who to ask to be able to make a private call. Pt #32 thought the phone on the wall was the only one they could use.
On 4/24/13, area 43-A, 9:47 AM, conducted a group interview regarding what does one do to make a private call? Pt #31 stated there might be privacy but there are a lot of people walking around though. Pt #7 stated can only use one phone - the phone on the wall. Pt #7 stated there "ain't any privacy." Pt #7 stated the wall phone is located where all the traffic is; there isn't any privacy. Staff OTR-OO stated patients can use exam room but Staff IDN-D stated could not be alone in there due to safety reasons. Pt #22 stated since when can we use exam room to make private calls? IDON D stated will have to work on finding a safe, private area for telephone calls.
On 4/24/13, 11:11 AM, interviewed Staff CRS Z who stated patients do need privacy to make telephone calls. CRS Z stated there is no place for them to have a private area to make a phone call.

Based on observation and staff interview the hospital failed to ensure the physical safety of patients in 2 of 4 units observed (43 A, 53 B) This had the potential to affect all patients receiving treatment at this facility.
Findings include:
1. Observation on 04/22/13 included a tour of the 5-53 B Adolescent Inpatient Unit from 10:55 a.m. to 12:05 p.m. and 2:25 p.m. to 3:25 p.m. accompanied by Nursing Program Coordinator (NPC) M.
Observation during the morning and afternoon tours on 04/22/13 identified there were no functional call buttons in several patient rooms, bathrooms, and common areas. Further observation on 04/23/13 during both morning and afternoon tours, identified there was no functional call system anywhere on the unit.
During interview with NPC M on 04/24/13 at 3:25 p.m., NCP M confirmed there was no functional call system on the unit. Without a functional call system in areas from which patients may need to summon assistance (including patient rooms and bathrooms), placed the patients who resided on 5-53 B at risk.
2. Observation on 04/22/13 included a tour of the 5-53 B Adolescent Inpatient Unit from 10:55 a.m. to 12:05 p.m. and 2:25 p.m. to 3:25 p.m. accompanied by Nursing Program Coordinator (NPC) M with the following concerns noted.
Observation at 11:10 a.m. in Room 3305-4 (locked tub room) identified a shower area as well as a stand-up scale in the room. In the shower area there were 3 wall tiles that had the heads of metal-looking nails or screws protruding slightly outward which were sharp to the touch. NPC M stated she was unsure if patients used the shower.
Observation at 11:15 a.m. in Room 8 (locked bathroom) identified a bathroom consisting of a sink and toilet. On the right side of the toilet it was noted that the heads of 4 metal-looking nails or screws protruded slightly outward which were sharp to the touch. NPC M stated she was unaware of the reason why these metal nails or screws were there and identified that both patients and staff used the bathroom (staff unlocked the bathroom for patient use).
Observation at 11:30 a.m. in the "Conference Room" (open to all patients) identified a row of 6 large cupboard doors against the wall on the right side of the room. All of the cupboard doors were locked except the second to the last cupboard door (as one entered the room). A table rested in front of this cupboard door and it was noted there was a small hole where the lock mechanism should have been. When the table was moved and the cupboard door opened, it was identified there were 5 black metal brackets on the bottom shelf of the cupboard which were sharp to the touch. NPC M removed the brackets and stated in interview at that time that the cupboard door should have been locked.
Observation at 2:25 p.m., in Room 26, (a locked restraint/seclusion room) identified inside the room was a locked bathroom. When the bathroom was unlocked, it was noted on 1 of the ceramic tiles in the shower that the head of 1 metal-looking nail or screw protruded slightly outward which was sharp to the touch. NPC M stated she was unaware of the reason why these metal nails or screws were there.

During a tour of unit 43-A on 04/23/13 at 3:40 PM with Unit Manager Q it was observed that a regular hospital bed (made of metal and on wheels) was being used for a patient in room #7. Q said at the time of the tour that the bed was being used to allow double occupancy of the room. Q agreed that the bed could potentially be dismantled by a patient for weapons (to harm selves or others) or be rolled against the door for barricading. Per interview with DON D on 04/23/13 at 4:10 PM there is no policy which speaks directly to restriction of the use of such a bed.

" Improper cooling of hot food by restaurants is a significant cause of foodborne illness."] On 4/25/2013, referral was made to Wisconsin's Department of Public Health and TT's Cafe was closed down. The 2009 Food and Drug Administration Food Code (professional standard that Dietary Supervisor G states is the professional standard of practice used) identifies hands as a vehicle of contamination and an effective management system for preventions needs to be in place.
An observation on 4/24/13 from 2:45 p.m. to 4:07 p.m. indicated that basic operational and sanitation programs were not in place based on the following:
? Improper cooling of foods
? Hands not washed as required - using hand sanitizer instead of washing hands
? No handwashing sink.
? Food items unlabeled/not dated
? Dirty equipment and single-use disposable items
? Food stored in inappropriate containers
? Food items commingled with maintenance tools

Based on observation, staff interviews and review of maintenance records, the facility including Buildings #3 & Building #4 did not maintain the condition of the physical plant and overall hospital environment in a manner to ensure the safety and well-being of patients. The facility did not have ceilings free of damage, handrails or counters free of damage, floors free of damage, a complete maintenance inspection program, and walls free of damage. This deficiency had the potential to affect all patients, staff and visitors within 5 of the 22 smoke compartments.
FINDINGS INCLUDE:
1. On 02/22/2013 at 2:49 pm, observation revealed on the 1st Floor floor of Building #4, in the Clean Food Storage area next to Food Production, that a portion of the ceiling was damaged and in need of repair. The ceiling was observed to have 2 full ceiling tiles stained due to moisture coming through floor above and one light fixture lens stained from moisture above. The condition was confirmed at the time of discovery by a concurrent observation and interview with staff F (Utilities Engineer) and staff Y (Maintenance Supervisor). This observed situation was not compliant with 42 CFR 482.41(a).
2. On 02/22/2013 at 2:51 pm, observation revealed on the 1st Floor floor of Building #4, in the Storeroom #5 next to Cooking area, that a portion of the ceiling was damaged and in need of repair. Ceiling tiles were stained a yellow-brown color from moisture coming from above. The room was being used for clean carts used in the holding of clean and sanitary food products. The condition was confirmed at the time of discovery by a concurrent observation and interview with staff F (Utilities Engineer) and staff Y (Maintenance Supervisor). This observed situation was not compliant with 42 CFR 482.41(a).
3. On 02/22/2013 at 2:55 pm, observation revealed on the 1st Floor floor of Building #4, in the Food Cooking area, that a portion of the ceiling was damaged and in need of repair. Two ceiling tiles above the Baxter 'Oven' (this is a large commercial rotating shelves oven) were open and collapsing onto the Oven top. The condition was confirmed at the time of discovery by a concurrent observation and interview with staff F (Utilities Engineer) and staff Y (Maintenance Supervisor). This observed situation was not compliant with 42 CFR 482.41(a).
4. On 02/23/2013 at 4:46 pm, observation revealed on the Wing area 5/ Level 3-B floor of Building #3, in the Corridor near Stairwell 5-5, that a portion of the 'handrail' was damaged and in need of repair. The handrail was observed without the turned-in cap to wall required by Code. And based on the unique patient population, the handrails must be provided with a closure plate near its bottom, to prevent any item passing through the handrail that could be used by the patient (in a negative way) to hurt themselves. The condition was confirmed at the time of discovery by a concurrent observation and interview with staff F (Utilities Engineer) and staff Y (Maintenance Supervisor). This damage renders this 'handrail' dangerous to the patient population. This observed situation was not compliant with 42 CFR 482.41(a).
5. On 02/22/2013 at 2:00 pm, observation revealed on the 1st Floor floor of Building #4, in the Outside the Food Prep Area, that a portion of the flooring was damaged and in need of repair. The ceramic tile was damaged and not maintained in a food production area in front of the 2-compartment sink.

During an interview at the time, NPC M stated the hospital utilized a contracted service called "UU" for cleaning.
Observation at 11:34 a.m. identified in Room 3305-15 (patient exam room) an area of visible dust and debris at the foot-end of the exam table just above 2 drawers built into the table. Observation at that time, in the same room, also identified a soap dispenser secured to the wall above the sink with a type of masking tape encircling the entire circumference of the unit. On multiple attempts when attempting to utilize the dispenser to obtain soap, the dispenser came apart from where it was taped, part of it falling forward making the unit unable to function properly.
Observation at 11:40 a.m. identified in Room 3305-19 several items of equipment including a crash cart that was covered with a cloth covering. NPC M removed the cover and a suction machine was noted with a moderate amount of visible dust.
Observation at 11:55 a.m. identified in Room 3305-19, upper and lower cabinets/drawers (all numbered) along 2 walls of the room. In drawer #12 were noted 6 "sterile" packages of "BBL" culture swabs, all with expiration dates of 2013/01 (expired.) NPC M stated the culture swabs should have been replaced and promptly removed the expired culture swabs from the drawer.
Observation at 2:40 p.m. identified in Room 35, where 2 patients currently resided, one of the beds (on the left upon entering the room) with a wooden bedframe that was cracked and broken. The cracked/broken area measured approximately 2 to 3 inches by 10 to 12 inches and the particle board underneath the finish was exposed and rough, making it uncleanable. It was also noted that the wardrobe unit in the room had an area on the bottom shelf approximately 1 to 3 inches in a triangular pattern where the finish was worn away exposing particle board (rough in places) underneath, making the area uncleanable.
Observation at 2:50 p.m. identified in Room 38, where 1 patient currently resided, the wardrobe unit in the room had gouges on the right (irregularly-shaped_ and left (nickel-sized) front panels exposing the underlying wood, making the areas uncleanable.
Observation at 3:00 p.m. identified, in a room next to room 35, a kitchenette area for patients and staff, an area beneath the sink that had a large uncleanable area with paint chipping and bubbling. There was nothing stored in the area at that time. The kitchenette area also included a microwave that was soiled with visible residue on the inside of the door and on the entire inside. NPC M stated the microwave was normally for staff use.
Observation at 3:12 p.m. identified in room 3305-23 a "Pyxis" medication-return bin securely attached to the wall. The top of the unit was noted to have a moderate to large amount of dust. NPC M cleaned the unit at that time.
Observation on 04/23/13 at 8:15 a.m. on unit 5-3B in the Day Room/Dining Room identified a table next to the windows facing the nurses' station which had 1 of the 4 corners chipped, exposing the wood underneath, making it uncleanable.
