Upon identifying the issue, we had the facility engineer install a spreader bar above the ceiling that secured the outlet to the junction box providing more stability for the outlet. During our monthly rounding, the outlet will be inspected to ensure it is secure within its housing. All deficiencies identified during rounding will be reported to the administrator/designee and reported at the facility EOC/Patient Safety Committee on a quarterly basis.

NFPA 101 STANDARD Electrical Equipment - Power Cords and Extens:

Electrical Equipment - Power Cords and Extension Cords
Power strips in a patient care vicinity are only used for components of movable patient-care-related electrical equipment (PCREE) assembles that have been assembled by qualified personnel and meet the conditions of 10.2.3.6. Power strips in the patient care vicinity may not be used for non-PCREE (e.g., personal electronics), except in long-term care resident rooms that do not use PCREE. Power strips for PCREE meet UL 1363A or UL 60601-1. Power strips for non-PCREE in the patient care rooms (outside of vicinity) meet UL 1363. In non-patient care rooms, power strips meet other UL standards. All power strips are used with general precautions. Extension cords are not used as a substitute for fixed wiring of a structure. Extension cords used temporarily are removed immediately upon completion of the purpose for which it was installed and meets the conditions of 10.2.4.

Observations:
Name: CLASS C ASF - Component: 01 - Tag: 0920

Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to prohibit the improper use of electrical devices, affecting one of four levels.

Findings include:

Observation on April 9, 2024, at 11:30 a.m., revealed a surge protector was plugged into another surge protector and powering equipment, on the fourth floor, Data Room.

Exit Interview with the Administrator and Regional Director on April 9, 2024, at 12:00 p.m., confirmed the unauthorized electrical device.

Plan of Correction - To be completed: 04/15/2024

While touring the facility, we found a surge protector daisy chained to another surge protector in the data room. After identifying the devices attached to the surge protector, we were able to remove them, plug them into the wall, and eliminate one of the surge protectors from the space. Notification was made to the Director of Information Services, so she could inform her staff of the deficiency and reinforce this does not happen in the future. During monthly Environment of Care rounding, we will inspect all areas to make sure there is no daisy chaining of devices. During monthly staff meetings, the administrator will reinforce this with the entire team to prevent any future occurrences. Any future deficiencies relating to this matter will be reported to the administrator, and on a quarterly basis addressed at the facility EOC/Patient Safety Committee.
