F 0627 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure the transfer/discharge meets the resident's needs/preferences and that the resident is prepared for a safe transfer/discharge. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility (SNF 1) failed to ensure one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) was readmitted to the first available bed, after Resident 1 was transferred to General Acute Care Hospital 2 (GACH 2) on [DATE], in accordance with the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Readmission. Resident 1 was admitted /transferred from GACH 2 to GACH 1 on [DATE]. The facility failed to readmit Resident 1 from GACH 1 for seven days from [DATE] through [DATE]. This violation resulted in Resident 1 remaining in GACH 1, delayed Resident 1's return to SNF 1 and had the potential to negatively impact Resident 1's care and services. Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 1 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including hemiplegia (total paralysis of the arm, leg, and trunk on the same side of the body) and bipolar disorder (sometimes called manic-depressive disorder; mood swings that ranged from the lows of depression to elevated periods of emotional highs). During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P) dated [DATE], the H&P indicated Resident 1 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 1 had severe cognitive impairment (confusion or memory loss). The MDS indicated Resident 1 was dependent (helper did all the effort) on staff with oral hygiene, personal hygiene, toileting hygiene, showering, and transferring. During a review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report (OSR), as of [DATE], the OSR indicated a physician's order to transfer Resident 1 to GACH 2 for further evaluation with bed hold for seven days on [DATE]. During a review of Resident 1's Notice of Proposed Transfer/Discharge (NPTD), dated [DATE], the NPTD indicated Resident 1 was transferred to GACH 2 due to tachycardia (an abnormally fast heart rate) and desaturation (the oxygen level in the blood dropped below normal). The NPTD indicated the reason for Resident 1's transfer was necessary for the resident's welfare and the resident's needs could not be met in the facility. During a review of Resident 1's Transfer Bed-Hold Notification (TBHN), dated [DATE], the TBHN indicated Resident 1 had seven days bed-hold when transferred to GACH 2 on [DATE]. The TBHN indicated Resident 1 had the right to be re-admitted to the facility upon the first availability of a bed even if the hospitalization exceeded the bed-hold period. During a review of Resident 1's GACH 1 physician's orders (PO) dated [DATE] through [DATE], the PO indicated to discharge Resident 1 back to Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) when bed was available on [DATE]. During a review of Resident 1's GACH 1 Case Manager Progress Notes (CMPN) dated [DATE] to [DATE], the CMPN indicated GACH 1 faxed the inquiry (the formal documentation sent by the GACH to a SNF to initiate the transfer or discharge of a resident) to the facility on [DATE] at 3:59 PM.
