I
had a similiar experience in a former facility a few years ago. In that case
the CNA had been investigated and terminated for verbal abuse to the
resident. However, we had not reported it to the state.
We reported this to the
state after the surveyors treated it as grounds for a deficiency. It was
investigated when it occurred and that led to the reprimand... I am not
involved with employee discipline... I would assume compliance rounds
would be made behind her for awhile. My administrator wanted to know
if it was normal for a deficiency to be written from our disciplinary
action.

Did you report this mistreatment to the state, or
investigate the
mistreatment when it occurred?

Subject: survey
question- disciplinary action used to write a
defeciency?
On a recent
complaint investigation the surveyors asked to see an
ex-employee's
personal file. It contained a disciplinary action r/t her
residents
found wet (saturated) and having dried BM on them. The employee
was
reprimanded for this (she was terminated later that day due to
another
issue that was not related to resident care). In the exit
interview (we have
not received the written deficiencies yet) the
reprimand was referred to
give us F224, F225 & F226. Has anyone
ever heard of this being
done?
