Complete data begins January 2011 (although some earlier inspections do show up). Individual states are provides as CSV files. A very large (4.5GB) national file is also provided as a zipped archive. New data will be updated on a monthly basis. For additional documentation, please see the README.

On the days of the survey, based on observation, interview, and review of the Joerns Healthcare User-Service Manual, the facility failed to provide services necessary to maintain a sanitary environment for 1 of 1 sampled residents with a low air loss mattress. The facility failed to cleanse/sanitize a visibly soiled Therapy Pad for Resident #1 with a *** Healthcare Low Airless Mattress. The findings included: Resident #1 was admitted with multiple pressure wounds and bilateral upper and lower extremity contractures. Observation of wound treatment, on 7/31/12, revealed Resident #1 had a heavily soiled Therapy Pad on his Low Air Loss Mattress. Stains and dried spills were observed on multiple areas of the surface on the first two days of the survey. During an interview on 7/31/12 at 9:30AM, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #1 (assigned to care for this resident) confirmed the soiled Therapy Pad. When asked how the Therapy Pad was cleaned and how often it was changed, she stated that she didn't know. Concurrent interview with the Wound Nurse confirmed the soiled Therapy Pad. When asked, she stated that she didn't know the cleaning or changing procedure. Review of the *** Healthcare User-Service Manual page 12 noted the therapy pad can be wiped down with a disinfectant solution or a mild detergent with a damp cloth. If heavily soiled, the therapy pad can be laundered in a washer and dryer with warm water (no more than 120 degrees Fahrenheit). A non-bleach detergent should be used sparingly. Wipe dry or allow to air dry. On 7/31/12, after the failure to maintain a clean Therapy Pad was acknowledged by staff, the facility contacted the supplier to change and clean the low air loss mattress therapy pads. On 7/31/12 at 10:40AM the wound nurse stated, Now I know where to get the special bed sheets - we need to keep some on hand. |
