61	DAMAS HOSPITAL SNF	405023	2213 PONCE BY PASS	PONCE	PR	717	2018-07-27	609	C	0	1	Z15R11	Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure its abuse and neglect prohibition policy included procedures for immediately reporting all alleged violations of abuse, neglect, exploitation, injuries of unknown source, and misappropriation of resident property to the State Survey Agency. This failure had the potential to affect all 14 residents, visitors, and facility staff. Findings include: Review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Policy and Procedure for the Prevention of Abuse of Residents, revised 06/17, indicated the policy and procedure stated the Medical Director and the Skilled Nursing Administrator (SNA)will be notified of every complaint that may possibly be categorized as abuse and/or negligence, which will include serious harm, and will be reported 24 hours of the event. The policy did not include reporting to the State Survey Agency, nor did it include the reporting of misappropriation of resident's property. On 07/27/18 at 9:00 AM, an interview with the SNA and the Nursing Supervisor confirmed the policy for Prevention of Abuse to Resident's did not indicate that when allegations of abuse and/or negligence occurred with serious harm, the incident should be reported immediately, or within two hours of the incident. They also confirmed the policy did not address reporting of misappropriation of a resident's property.	2020-09-01
