In collaboration with The Seattle Times, Big Local News is providing full-text nursing home deficiencies from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). These files contain the full narrative details of each nursing home deficiency cited regulators. The files include deficiencies from Standard Surveys (routine inspections) and from Complaint Surveys. 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.

51 WEISER CARE OF CASCADIA 135010 331 EAST PARK STREET WEISER ID 83672 2018-06-15 883 F 0 1 GRQ011 **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on staff interview, policy review, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure a) implementation of an immunization program to ensure residents' Pneumococcal (bacterial) pneumonia vaccine status were being tracked with receiving or declining the Pneumococcal vaccines PCV 13 and PPSV 23, consistent with current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations, and b) residents who consented to administration of the Pneumococcal vaccinations, received the vaccinations. This is true for 9 of 9 residents (#2, #4, #7, #9, #12, #16, #19, #29, and #30) reviewed for Pneumococcal vaccinations, and had the potential to impact the other 26 residents residing in the facility. These deficient practices placed residents at risk of developing Pneumococcal pneumonia and developing subsequent serious, potentially life threatening, complications. Findings include: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website, updated 11/22/16, documented recommendations for Pneumococcal vaccination (PCV 13 or Prevnar 13(R), and PPSV 23 or [MEDICATION NAME] 23(R)) for all adults [AGE] years or older: * Adults who were [AGE] years or older, who had not previously received PCV 13, should receive a dose of PCV 13 first, should follow 1 year later by a dose of PPSV 23. * If the patient already received one or more doses of PPSV 23, the dose of PCV 13 should be given at least 1 year after they received the most recent dose of PPSV 23. The facility's policy and procedure Patient Immunization Program dated 4/27/15, documented the facility would ensure all patients were offered appropriate Pneumococcal vaccinations in accordance with recommendations set forth by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The facility's policy Pneumococcal Program dated 10/31/17, documented vaccinations were available that could prevent two kinds of pneumonia: Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV 13 or Prevnar 13) and Pneumococcal [MEDICATION NAME] vaccine (PPSV 23 or [MEDICATION NAME] 23) included the following: * If not previously received, the facility would provide residents the PCV 13 vaccine upon admission. The facility would follow in at least 8 weeks for high risk residents, and in at least 1 year for other residents, with the Pneumococcal PPSV 23. * If a resident was previously vaccinated with either PCV 13 or PPSV 23, then the facility would follow with the alternate immunization upon admission. * Residents should receive both Pneumococcal immunizations in at least weeks apart for high risk residents and in at least 1 year for other residents. * Revaccination of PPSV 23 is recommended in at least 5 years after PPSV 23. The above policy was not followed.
