F 0776 Provide timely, approved x-ray services, or have an agreement with an approved provider to obtain them. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of one sampled resident (Resident 1) who had an order of X-ray (an imaging test to create detailed pictures of the organs) of the left hand was implemented in a timely manner, as ordered. Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential for Resident 1 not to receive necessary care and services to immediately meet the resident's medical needs. Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 1 on 8/9/2023 and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia (a group of thinking and social symptoms that interfere with daily functioning), history of falling, and age-related osteoporosis (a medical condition in which the bones become brittle and fragile) During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 4/30/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had severely impaired cognitive skills (ability to make daily decisions). The MDS indicated Resident 1 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) from staff for bathing and toileting hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required partial/moderate (helper does less than half the effort) assistance from staff for dressing and personal and oral hygiene. During a review of Resident 1's COC/INTERACT ASSESSMENT FORM (COC), dated 6/6/2025, the COC indicated Resident 1 had swelling of the left hand. The COC indicated Resident 1's physician (MD- medical doctor) ordered a STAT (immediate/urgent) x-ray of Resident 1's left hand on 6/6/2025 at 4:44 pm. During a review of Resident 1's physician's orders (PO) dated 6/6/2025, the PO indicated Resident 1's physician ordered STAT X-ray of Resident 1's left hand. The x-ray was ordered on 6/6/2025 at 4:38 p.m. During an interview on 6/9/2025 at 10:27 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the DON asked Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1) to follow up on the results of Resident 1's left hand x-ray on 6/8/25 because the Radiology Technician (RT) had not done Resident 1's ordered x-ray. The DON stated the radiology company claimed Resident 1 was combative and uncooperative on 6/6/2025 when the RT tried to get the x-ray. The DON stated the RT did not inform the facility staff that the RT was unable to get the x-ray of Resident 1's left hand on 6/6/2025.
