Bringing transparency to federal inspections
Tag No.: A0115
Based on review of clinical records, review of facility documents, and staff interview, the facility failed to protect and promote each patient's rights when:
A. Four patients (patients #1, 2, 3, and 4) on suicide precautions eloped from the facility. The four elopements reviewed occurred between 6/24/21 (patient #2) with the most recent on 8/11/21 (patient #4).
B. Three patients (#12, 13, and 14) who presented voluntarily with suicidal thoughts waited for several hours in the Behavioral Health Access area for a medical screening exam with no treatment or management of symptoms, were able to discharge AMA.
C. Review of Access Area Incident Reports for 6/20/21 through 7/6/21 (a two week period) revealed 8 of 15 incidents involved physical aggression and/or staff required security presence. The Access Area had no staffing grid or staffing sheets; therefore, it was difficult to determine who was working or if the Access Area was staffed appropriately, placing patients at risk of adverse events.

Patient #12 answered, "Suicidal thoughts, cutting myself ..." Patient #12 was observed in the Access area from 4:25 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
A note on 7/29/21 at 10:17 p.m. by a MPA stated in part, "BH Evaluator Impression: Pt presented to Access at the behest of the Sheriff of Wheeler Co. Pt was being interviewed by the Sheriff for something, 'Confidential that I can't talk about.' and she became angry. Pt said, sometimes when she is angry, she gets suicidal. Gma [believe meaning grandmother] said something about having been at the Bridge earlier today, so it is possible the Pt was being questioned about sexual assault ... Pt denied feeling suicidal during the psych interview. She admitted to feeling that way earlier today, but not now.
Pt staffed with [psychiatrist], who said to admit the Pt. The Pt's grandma got tired of waiting, due to the ER's not being able to do a MSE, so the Pt left with grandma, AMA."
An addition MPA note on 7/29/21 also at 10:17 p.m. included the following:
" ...The Pt and grandmother had to wait a long time, as the ER's were back up and could not get to the Pt's MSE.

Grandmother signed the Pt out AMA, signing the Refusal form and the Referral form ..."
Patient #12 had presented as suicidal and had to wait approximately 6 hours before deciding to say she was no longer suicidal so she could leave. She was not stabilized.

I think people can hear my thoughts. I want to kill myself and I think thats wat [sic] they want me to do."
Despite the 1:26 a.m. listing for presentation at the facility, she was observed on 8/7/21 beginning at 12:00 midnight. She had observation entries until 8:00 a.m. The sheet indicated she was discharged at that time.
A note by a LMSW on 8/7/21 at 2:49 a.m. stated in part, "presents voluntary to ACCESS with transportation by APD. Per APD pt called asking for help to come to the pavilion for assessment as she was going 'crazy' and felt she wanted to die. Pt present hx of MH with dx of schizophrenia.

The case was staffed with [psychiatrist] who advised admission to inpatient treatment at NWTHS PAV for pt safety and stabilization ..."
A LMSW note on 8/7/21 at 2:58 a.m. stated in part, " ...contacted requesting bed for pt for MSE. Pt actively hallucinating, unable to med clear through telehealth. RN at 1622 [facility resource to call for MSE in ED], no bed available at this moment, will call when bed available."
A "High Risk Notification Alert" on 8/7/21 at 3:22 a.m. indicated patient #13 had high risk factors for suicide/self harm and for "hallucinations aud[ible]."
A behavioral therapist note on 8/7/21 at 7:45 a.m. read as follows (in entirety):
"pt requested to leave AMA stating 'i've [sic] been waiting for hours i [sic] want to leave". pt denied current s/i. staffed with [psychiatrist] who determine pt can leave. pt sign AMA form."

[Patient #14] stated she is having thoughts about suicide but mostly she feels 'exhausted' she reported she has not felt rested in a long time and 'cannot think straight.' ...She stated she feels like nothing helps and is worried about going inpatient but she knows she is not feeling right and that her thinking is jumbled ... [Patient # 14] was assessed in Access and admitted to inpatient treatment ..."
"Acceptance of Referral" form was signed by the patient on 7/23/21 at 3:50 pm. There was no other AMA forms in patient #14's clinical record.
BH therapist note on 7/23/21 at 4:51 pm that was "performed on 7/23/21 at 3:39 pm" stated in part, "Pt presented VOL but left AMA. [Psychiatrist] released at 1:39 pm ..."

In an interview with staff #16 on the morning of 8/11/21, when asked about the situation with patient #14, staff #16 stated, "She was with us and she had made some statements that we wanted to refer her to inpatient, so we walked her upstairs to get assessed by Access." When asked why staff #16's note indicated patient #14 was admitted to inpatient treatment. Staff #16 stated, "I was under the impression because I spoke with the nurse practitioner." Staff #16 went on to say, "I brought her to access and stayed with her until she got Assessed. I probably wrote this note because I was under that impression and the nurse practitioner was as well [that patient #14 was going inpatient status]."
On 7/23/21, the date patient #14 presented for inpatient treatment, there was no completed suicide risk assessment despite her vocalizations of SI. There was no documentation or clear picture of what happened with patient #14. Although all documentation revealed patient #14 met inpatient criteria and the psychiatrist recommended inpatient admission on 7/23/21 at 3:19 pm, a note timed 4:51 pm stated patient #14 left AMA per psychiatrist at 1:39 pm.
There was no evidence discussion, including risks of leaving and benefits of staying, occurred between the physician and patient #14. There was no signed AMA form prior to the departure of patient #14. There was no documentation of the circumstances of patient #14's AMA in the nurse's notes."
In an interview on the morning of 8/11/21, Staff #3 verified the above and stated, "We should have gone back in and put another note."
Facility Policy titled "BH RR 001 - Patient Rights and Responsibilities" stated in part, "List of Rights: 1. Without limitation patient shall be entitled to:
a. Considerate, respectful, humane care and treatment
c. Be treated with human dignity and in an environment that contributes to a positive self-image
d. Medical care and treatment in accordance with the highest standards accepted in medical practice to the extent that the facilities, equipment and personnel are available
e. Care in a safe and sanitary setting
h. Receive prompt evaluation and care, treatment, habilitation or rehabilitation about which he/she is informed insofar he/she is capable of understanding ..."
Facility Policy titled "RRI 016 - Against Medical Advice (AMA) Discharges" stated in part, "Policy: A patient may wish to leave the hospital contrary to his/her attending physician's opinion that continued stay is medically indicated. Generally, except by court order, the hospital may not detain the patient against his or her will, unless the patient has been determined by a physician to be incompetent to make health care decisions.
However, since the hospital is charged with the responsibility of patient welfare, some AMA discharges or refusals to accept treatment will indicate a need for staff to seek additional direction with regard to patient care and hospital liability.
Procedure:
*If a patient insists on leaving the hospital against his physician's advice, the physician will be notified of the patient's intention as soon as possible after the request has been made. Discussion, including risks of leaving and benefits of staying, should occur between the physician and patient/legal representative. The physician should ensure that the patient/legal representative adequately understands the potential consequences of leaving AMA, and this discussion should be documented in the medical record.
*The physician will determine if there is cause to believe the patient might meet the criteria for court-mental health services or emergency detention. If not, the physician will write the order for an AMA discharge.
*The patient or responsible party will be encouraged to sign an AMA form (attachment 1) prior to the departure of the patient. If the patient refuses to sign an AMA form, documentation of the circumstances must be in the nurse's notes, and noted on the AMA form."
C. Review of Incident Reports for 6/20/21 through 7/6/21 (a two week period) revealed 8 of 15 incidents in the Access area were related to physical aggression or staff requested security presence; one of which involved two patients fighting.
In an interview with staff #5, Nurse Manager of Access, on 8/10/21 at 9:47 am, when asked how many people the Access area was staffed with, staff #5 stated, "At least 2 members. It's usually 4-6 in the morning. We can staff down if we need to. During the day, usually 3-5 people are here. There's always at least one assessor on. In the afternoons, we have 2 call specs [Call Specialists, unlicensed staff with responsibilities of answering phones and doing observation round of the patients in the Access area] assigned - one rounding and one doing valuables." When asked about training for call specs, staff #5 stated, "They have 4 weeks of training. It's a hard position. Most have bachelor's degrees. They have to work different shifts with different counselors. And they have to work all shifts. We want to give them more exposure to all kinds of situations."
When asked if staff get help in Access, staff #5 stated, "Say someone is rounding. I know that person's rounding so I watch out for them. We know how to be a partner with our coworker. We'll watch them. If something happens, we immediately call someone through the overhead, and then we call security. The house supervisor is here 24 hours a day too."
In an interview on 8/10/21 with staff #10, who works in the Access Area, on 8/10/21, when asked if they felt it was a lot to manage call spec duties in the Access area, staff #10 stated, "Sometimes, it is a lot."
In an interview on 8/10/21 with staff #8, who works in the Access Area, surveyors mentioned it seemed call specs had many duties -- watching cameras, answering the phone and doing observation rounds. Staff #8 stated, "It is a lot to do, yes." When asked if the amount of work ever endangered staff or patients, staff #10 stated, "I think there are practices that could be looked at to be improved." When asked if they had any concerns about the Access area, staff #8 stated, "It's a very difficult place to be in. It's basically just a lobby. We can't medicate patients there if they need it, and things like that."
Review of the staffing grids and assignment sheets of the Behavioral Health Department revealed no staffing grid or guidelines for the Access area. When asked for the last 6 months of nurse staffing sheets, the Access area was not provided. Several times throughout the survey, the facility was asked for Access area staffing. In an interview on the afternoon of 8/10/21 with staff #5, Nurse Manager of Access, they presented typed sheets with staff working. Staff #5 stated, "I went through the time sheets to see who was working."
In an interview on the morning of 8/12/21 with staff #1, the Quality Director, staff #1 provided 4 weeks of typed schedules to reveal who was working the Access area and stated, "Here are the schedules, we went through the timesheets ... We recognize there's a problem."
Facility policy titled "BH 040 - Appropriate Staffing Levels" stated in part, "Scope: All operating inpatient facilities that are Behavioral Health Division subsidiaries ...
Policy: It is the policy of Northwest Texas Healthcare System Behavioral Health Services to ensure that the appropriate numbers and qualifications of nursing staff are available at all times for the care of patients. The Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) is responsible for the development and ongoing review of staffing requirements based on numbers of patients, population served, acuity and measurements of patient outcomes that include patient falls, restraint/seclusion, medication errors, infection rates, patient complaints and grievances, as well as other types of incident occurrences ..."
8 of 15 incidents reviewed involved physical aggression and/or staff required security presence; with no staffing grid and no staffing sheets for the Access Area, it was difficult to determine who was working during certain shifts and if the Access Area was staffed appropriately.
