V0H 1Z4 Tel: Retirement Concepts Azim Jamal, President & CEO Tony Baena, Vice President of Operations West Georgia Street Vancouver, BC V6E 3V7 SITE VISIT INFORMATION Date: November 2 & 5, 2012 Author of Summary: Karen Bloemink, Regional Director Residential Services Interior Health Authority Residential Care Component of Campus 75 Interior Health funded units 5 private units Total of 80 licensed units Residential Services Quality Review The Interior Health Authority Residential Services program has a well established process for monitoring the quality of services being provided in a residential care setting. This process has been in place since 2006 and is used for the following reasons: 1. To routinely monitor the quality of services being provided against Long Term Care Standards identified by Accreditation Canada, inclusive of Required Organizational Practices defined as essential practices that organizations must have in place to enhance resident safety and minimize risk; Residential Care Regulations overseen by the Licensing Branch authorized within the Community Care and Assisted Living Act; and Ministry of Health requirements, including those outlined in the Home and Community Care Policy Manual; and requirements and obligations as identified in the Interior Health Authority Operating Agreement with private providers. 2
3 2. To identify areas for improvement or areas of exemplary work that can be shared throughout the program. 3. To provide comprehensive, formalized review of a facility wherein unresolved complaints or concerns represent significant risk to residents in care. The Residential Services Quality Review (RSQR) is conducted routinely in all facilities providing residential care. If concerns are identified, this review may be conducted more frequently based on the nature of the findings to ensure follow up action is occurring. The RSQR is conducted by an interdisciplinary team of experts who support the site through a self evaluation process which is followed by an on site review. During the self evaluation and onsite review the following sources of information are utilized: InterRAI MDS 2.0 data for site Staffing schedules/daily staffing flow sheets Licensing reports Critical Incident reports Complaints/concerns Communication records/resident care records Conversations with staff, residents and families, resident/family councils Administration/management/clinical support to site, including recreational activity calendars, resident participation records; evidence of education and participation; evidence of policy and procedure to support care; evidence of roles, responsibilities, and expectations of staff Background The Summerland Seniors Village, in Summerland, BC, has had experience with the Interior Health Authority s RSQR process over the last few years and had a full review conducted in September At that time there were a series of recommendations that were placed into an action plan and served as the quality improvement plan for the site. The Retirement Concepts management team was responsible for carrying out the improvements necessary with progress reports required by Interior Health. Licensing conducted a formal inspection of this site in May 2012 and some minor concerns were identified for correction. 3
4 In August 2012, a serious incident occurred resulting in the death of a resident which triggered an in-depth investigation. As this investigation took place, several other care-related concerns were raised with the Interior Health Authority and follow up on these complaints occurred individually. Due to the serious nature of these concerns, Interior Health Authority Residential Services requested an additional inspection be conducted by Licensing, which occurred on Oct 31, There were 19 serious infractions found at this time. During the follow up investigation on November 14, 2012, further infractions were found. The reports of these inspections are posted on the Interior Health public website and can be located at: Due to the serious nature of the findings, Interior Health initiated a RSQR which was conducted on November 2 and November 5, Objectives The objectives of the Retirement Concepts Summerland Seniors Village RSQR (Nov 2012) process are to: 1. Ensure residents at Summerland Seniors Village residential care receive a safe and satisfactory quality of care. 2. Monitor the ongoing Retirement Concepts action plan to address current and ongoing quality of care issues, staffing issues and requirements under the Continuing Care and Assisted Living Act. 3. Implement a proactive plan to identify outstanding quality of care issues that arise, heighten monitoring, and determine short, medium, and long term monitoring processes to ensure that quality of care improvements are maintained over time. Themes The RSQR is designed to closely review Summerland Seniors Village organizational & care practices against regulations and standards in order to identify strengths and areas for improvement. The RSQR can be organized according to the following themes: Leadership for the establishment of a solid foundation for the care delivery team 4
5 Communication Clinical Quality improvement and risk management Corporate/organizational support Process As per the Interior Health Authority Residential Service Quality Review process, an interdisciplinary team consisting of administrative, nursing and allied health care providers, led by the Quality Coordinator for the South Okanagan, was identified. During the course of the review, the team spent time working closely with the staff and management of Summerland Seniors Village reviewing the quality of care and service delivery. Following the completion of the review, a report was prepared and shared with the management of the site on November 22, In response to this report Summerland Seniors Village management developed an action plan to address the areas of concern. Findings A number of recommendations were identified for quality of care improvements through the RSQR process with Summerland Seniors Village. Staffing challenges have emerged as having a contributing role to many of the quality of care issues identified. These challenges include: Staff on care team working within limited scope Limited skill mix on care team Insufficient tools in place to support staff routines, job expectations, communication tools, reporting relationships High incidence of last minute shift cancelation Low success rate in filling last minute shifts Lack of systems in place for shift/staffing replacements Insufficient processes in place for effective management of staffing needs The following table summarizes the findings related to each of the themes above, with related recommendations: THEME FINDINGS RECOMMENDATIONS 5
