Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and medical record review, the facility failed to ensure the medical records for three of eight
sampled residents (Residents 1, 2, and 3) were accurate and complete.
* Resident 1's POLST did not show the physician's phone number, license number, signature, or the
resident's responsible party's signature, address, and telephone number. In addition, the responsible party's
signature was written in by the nurse filling out the form and did not indicate it was a verbal consent.
Additionally, the NP's name was written in the section where the NP's supervising physician's name should
have been.
* Resident 2's POLST did not show the NP's phone number, license number, date signed, or the name of
the NP's supervising physician. In addition, the POLST did not indicate if the NP had discussed the
information with Resident 2. Resident 2's POLST did not show the resident's address and telephone
number, and the resident's signature was undated. Additionally, the POLST did not show the title of the
preparer's name or phone number.
* Resident 3's POLST did not show the verbal consent given by the resident's responsible party was
witnessed by a second nurse. In addition, the POLST did not show Resident 3's wishes in regard to
artificially administered nutrition and the resident's responsible party's address and phone number.
These failures had the potential for the residents' care needs not being met as their medical information
was incomplete and/or inaccurate.
Findings:
According to Californiapolst.org, a POLST is a medical order that helps give people with serious illness
more control over their care during a medical emergency. The POLST helps to ensure people receive the
care they want and protect them from getting medical treatments they do not want. The POLST form is not
valid until signed by both the individual or the individual's responsible party, and a physician, nurse
practitioner, or physician assistant.
