Based on observation, document review, interview, and policy review the facility failed to ensure patients received care in a safe setting resulting in falls in 2 of 2 patients (#1 and #19) and failed to identify 7 of 7 patients as being a high fall risk (patients #5, #7, #17, #20, #21, #25, and #26) resulting in potential for patient harm. Findings include:
On 12/2/2014 at 1015 during a tour of facility #1, it was discovered that the facility did not have any fall risk signs placed on patient room doors. Staff A was asked how patients were identified as being at risk for falls. Staff A said that patients who were at risk for falls were to have a sign placed outside of the patient's room.
On 12/2/2014 at approximately 1020 during the initial tour of facility #1, an interview was conducted with patient #19 and the patient's medical power of attorney (POA) (a person who is responsible for making decisions for the patient when the patient is unable to make decisions in regards to their care). The patient's POA was asked if the patient had experienced any problems during his current admission. The patient's POA indicated that the patient had experienced a fall on 11/25/2014. When asked if any injuries had occurred during the fall the POA said, "Yes. My father hit his head during the fall. He had to be taken to the hospital for a CT (commuted tomography) scan and x-rays." The patient was observed to have a bruise from the base of his skull down the back of his neck approximately 5 inches in length and 3 inches in width. The POA had stated that the bruise was a result of the patient's fall. The patient was not observed to have a fall risk band on nor were there any signs either inside the room or outside the patient's room to identify the patient as a high fall risk.
On 12/2/2014 at approximately 1040 during tour of facility #1, it was observed that patient #21's bed was a "low-boy" bed (a bed approximately two feet from the ground used to help prevent injury from falls due to the close proximity to the ground should the patient fall out of bed) and mats were surrounding the patient's bed. Staff A was asked if the patient was considered a fall risk. Staff A responded that, "Yes. The patient is a fall risk." Staff A was then asked if signage was located outside of the room to indicate the patient was a fall risk. Staff A responded, "No."
On 12/2/2014 at approximately 1100 at facility #1, a review of patient #19 medical record occurred. During review of the patient's medical record it was discovered the patient was deemed a fall risk on his admission of 11/17/2014. On 11/25/2014 at approximately 1930 the patient experienced a syncopal episode (loss of consciousness) and was found on the ground in the bathroom located inside the patient's room. The patient was transported to a local hospital on 11/26/2014 for a CT scan and X-rays in order to rule out fractures and internal bleeding. The patient was placed in the high observation unit for close monitoring. Further review of the patient's chart showed that the fall risk assessment on 11/26/2014 did not indicate the patient had recently had experienced a fall according to nursing documentation.
On 12/2/2014 at approximately 1125 (facility #1) staff C was asked if the patient (#19) was considered a high fall risk. Staff C responded "Yes." Staff C was then asked if the nursing documentation indicated that the patient was a high fall risk on the nursing assessment on 11/26/2014. Staff C stated "No. The documentation does not show that the patient had a recent fall." Staff C was then asked to review the initial assessment that occurred upon admission on 11/17/2014 for patient #19. Staff C was shown where patient #19 had been deemed a high fall risk upon admission and interventions were listed to address the problem. Intervention listed "post a sign at the door to identify to all health care providers patient fall risk and communicate fall risk to other health care team members." When asked if a sign had been posted outside the patient's room, staff C responded "No."
On 12/2/2014 at approximately 1130 at facility #1, a review of patient #21's medical record it was discovered the patient was considered a high fall risk. Staff C was questioned if the patient was identified as a high fall risk outside of the patient's room. Staff C stated "No." Staff C was shown where patient #21 had been deemed a high fall risk upon admission on 11/21/2014 and interventions were listed to address the problem. Intervention listed "post a sign at the door to identify to all health care providers patient fall risk and communicate fall risk to other health care team members." When asked if a sign had been posted outside the patient's room, staff C responded "No."
On 12/2/2014 at approximately 1430,during the initial tour of facility #2, an interview occurred with patient #17.

The patient the stated "they (the facility) took my walker away because they (physical therapy) said it wasn't safe." The patient was not listed as being on fall risk precautions either by use of a fall risk band on his person or a fall risk sign being placed outside of his room.
On 12/2/2014 at approximately 1500 during medical record review it was revealed the patient (#17) was not identified as a fall risk although the Morse Fall Scale (a tool used to determine if the patient is at risk for falls) indicated the patient was a fall risk. On 12/2/2014 at approximately 1530 staff E was asked why the patient's walker had been removed for the patient's use.
