V0543 POC-MANAGE VOLUME STATUS
CFR(s): 494.90(a)(1)

The plan of care must address, but not be limited to, the following: (1) Dose of dialysis. The interdisciplinary team must provide the necessary care and services to manage the patient's volume status;


This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by:
Based on a review of medical records and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) updated the patient's plans of care to reflect a change in dry weight for five of five patients (P) (P#1, P#2, P#3, P#4, and P#5) who consistently presented at or below EDW (estimated dry weight) or consistently left below dry weight. Removal of too much fluid or going below the patient's target weight may cause low blood pressure, muscle cramping, and clotting of the vascular access. This deficient practice could negatively affect the health and safety of P#1, P#2, P#3, P#4, P#5, and the other 14 patients who were receiving dialysis treatment at this facility. Findings include: P#1: Pt #1's dialysis prescription: Tx (Treatment) time: 4:30 hours (4 hours and 30 minutes), EDW: 100 kg (kilogram), BFR (Blood Flow Rate): 450, DFR (Dialysate Flow Rate): 800. - On 7/31/24: P#1's EDW was 100 kg.

Post weight 83.1 kg. On 7/12/24: - P#4's EDW was 87 kg. P#4's pre dialysis weight was 87 kg. Post weight 84.6 kg. On 7/15/24: - P#4's EDW was 87 kg. P#4's pre dialysis weight was 90 kg.

On 7/24/24: - P#5's EDW was 65 kg. P#5's pre dialysis weight was 68.1 kg. Post weight 64.2 kg. On 7/29/24: - P#5's EDW was 65 kg. P#5's pre dialysis weight was 66.8 kg. Post weight 68.4 kg.

On 8/5/24: - P#5's EDW was 65 kg. P#5's pre dialysis weight was 63.7 kg. Post weight 60.8 kg. During an interview on 8/14/24 at approximately 3:40 p.m., this surveyor informed the Facility Administrator (FA) about the above concerns that no changes were made to reflect current EDW on the patient's care plan or treatment order to reflect that EDW has been reviewed and readjusted by the IDT/physician. The FA confirmed that CIPA/POC was not updated to address the EDW of P#1, P#2, P#3, P#4, and P#5.
