identification and treatment.
Findings:
During a record review of Resident 1 ' s face sheet, undated, Resident 1 was admitted in August 2024 with
diagnoses of urinary tract infection (UTI - an infection in the bladder/urinary tract) and unspecified atrial
fibrillation (irregular, often heart rate that commonly causes poor blood flow).
During a record review of Progress Notes: Health Status Note written on 8/17/24 at 1509 (3:09 p.m.), the

and low blood pressure.
During an interview on 9/10/24, at 10:29 a.m., with Unit Manager (UM), UM stated when Resident 1 was
transferred to the hospital, the transfer packet documents that went with Resident 1 to the hospital was
incorrect. Per UM, another nurse handed her an envelope with Resident 1 ' s name on it. UM added she
saw a face sheet inside the envelope but did not verify face sheet information. UM stated she usually
checked the face sheet. Per UM, the packet had an incorrect face sheet. UM stated it was her fault for not
checking the contents of the envelope. Per UM, she knew about the incorrect transfer packet when ADM
spoke to her about it as ADM was notified by the hospital.
During a review of the facility ' s policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Transfer, dated 10/1999, the P&P
indicated, The receiving community will be provided all pertinent medical and other information concerning
a resident transferred from this community to assure continuity of care.
