Let each resident or the resident's legal representative access or purchase copies of all the resident's
records.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide copy of medical records upon written request for
two of three sampled residents (Resident 1 and Resident 2). On 5/9/2025 at 10:32 a.m., Resident 1
requested for medical records and the medical records were sent electronically on 5/27/2027 at 3:57 p.m.
(18 days). On 5/27/2025 at 12:01 p.m., Family Member (FM) 1 requested for Resident 2's medical records
and the medical records were not received as of 6/2/2025.
This deficient practice violated the rights of Resident 1 and Resident 2 to obtain a copy of their medical
records.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted
Resident 1 on 9/6/2024 and readmitted the resident on 1/14/2025 with diagnoses including acute
respiratory failure (your lungs are not working properly to get enough oxygen into your blood and/or remove
enough carbon dioxide), end stage renal disease (ESRD- irreversible kidney failure), and dependent on
renal dialysis (a treatment that filters blood when your kidneys are not working properly).
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 1/17/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 1 usually understood and was usually able to make self understood. The MDS
indicated Resident 1 required substantial to maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) with
eating, oral hygiene, upper and lower body dressing, putting on and taking off footwear, and personal
hygiene.
During a review of the facility-provided record titled, Medical Records Request Summary (MRRS), for
5/2025, the MRRS indicated on 5/9/2025 at 10:32 a.m. Resident 1, through a Law Office (LO), requested
medical records and Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) 1 called and informed LO that SNF 1 received the
request. The MRSS indicated on 5/19/2025 at 2:43 p.m. an invoice was sent to LO for the copy of medical
records via email. The MRSS further indicated on 5/27/2025 at 3:57 p.m. SNF 1 sent medical records
electronically.
b. During a review of Resident 2's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted
Resident 2 on 5/19/2025 with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-a chronic
lung disease causing difficulty in breathing), acute respiratory failure (the inability of the respiratory system
to meet the oxygenation, ventilation, or metabolic requirements of the patient) with hypoxia (the body is not
getting enough oxygen), and adult failure to thrive (a gradual

decline in health and well-being, often marked by weight loss, poor nutrition, and a reduced ability to
perform daily activities).
During a review of the MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 2 sometimes understood and
sometimes was understood. The MDS indicated Resident 2 was dependent (helper does all the effort) with
toileting, showering, lower body dressing and putting on and taking off footwear and required substantial
assistance with upper body dressing.
During a review of the facility-provided record MRRS, dated 5/2025, the MRRS indicated on 5/27/2025 at
12:01 p.m. Family Member (FM) 1 requested for Resident 2's records and on 5/27/2025 at 12:52 p.m. FM 1
sent signed authorization to release form via email.
During an interview on 6/2/2025 at 1:32 p.m. with the Medical Records Director (MRD), the MRD stated the
process for requesting medical records is once the facility receives the request the MRD contacts the party
to sign the authorization to release form. The MRD stated the facility will let the requesting party know the
total number of papers and the cost of the request. The MRD stated there was a delay in retrieving the
records for Resident 1 because the facility was attempting to collect the dialysis binder from the dialysis
center. The MRD stated the facility decided to just send the invoice without the dialysis records to the LO.
The MRD stated records should have been given within forty-eight (48) hours. The MRD stated records
were not provided within 48 hours to Resident 1.
During an interview on 6/2/2025 at 2:17 p.m. with the MRD, the MRD stated for Resident 2, the facility was
waiting on the Medical Doctor (MD) to sign the discharge paperwork. The MRD stated FM 1 requested for
records on 5/27/2025 and the invoice was provided on 6/2/2025, hence, the record request was not
provided within 48 hours. The MRD stated that not being able to provide the records as per policy may
cause the requester to not be able to get the records if it is for an emergent purpose because the facility
should be providing records within the 48 hours. The MRD was not able to provide documented evidence
Resident 2's medical records were provided to FM 1 as of 6/2/2025.
During an interview on 6/2/2025 at 3 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated when
residents and/or family requests for medical records the MRD is the one that is responsible for providing
records within 48 hours. The DON stated there was a six (6) day delay in providing Resident 1 with the
invoice to obtain the medical records and a delay of four (4) days in providing Resident 2's family with
invoice. The DON stated the potential for not providing records within the 48 hours would be not following
the policy.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Release of Information, last reviewed on
9/2024, the P&P indicated, A resident may obtain photocopies of his or her records by providing the facility
with at least a forty-eight (48) hour (excluding weekends and holidays) advance notice of such request.

Residents Affected - Few
Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain complete and accurate medical records
for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) when Resident 1's Dialysis Communication Records binder
went missing on 2/20/2025 with Resident 1's Dialysis Communication Records.
This deficient practice had the potential to negatively impact the delivery of services to Resident 1.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted
Resident 1 on 9/6/2024 and readmitted the resident on 1/14/2025 with diagnoses including acute
respiratory failure (your lungs are not working properly to get enough oxygen into your blood and/or remove
enough carbon dioxide), end stage renal disease (ESRD- irreversible kidney failure), and dependent on
renal dialysis (a treatment that filters blood when your kidneys are not working properly).
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 1/17/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 1 usually understood and was usually able to make self understood. The MDS
indicated Resident 1 required substantial to maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) with
eating, oral hygiene, upper and lower body dressing, putting on and taking off footwear, and personal
hygiene.
During a review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report, dated 1/15/2025, the Order Summary Report
indicated:
- dialysis schedule Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday chair time at 2 p.m.
- dialysis monitor dialysis site (right upper chest) for tenderness, redness, and or bleeding. N=no abnormal
findings, y= presence of abnormal findings, Notify the Medical Doctor (MD).
During a review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report, dated 2/20/2025, the Order Summary Report
indicated to transfer Resident 1 to General Acute Care Hospital (GACH) 1 from dialysis center due to
altered mental status.
During a review of Resident 1's Progress Notes, dated 2/20/2025 at 2:50 p.m., the Progress Notes
indicated the facility received a call from the dialysis center that Resident 1 was transferred to GACH 1.
During an interview on 6/2/2025 at 1:10 p.m. with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, RN 1 stated when a dialysis
resident go to the dialysis center, the resident takes the dialysis binder that is a communication binder with
the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) 1 and the dialysis center but if the resident does not come back then the
facility does not get the binder back. RN 1 stated Resident 1 went out to GACH 1 from the dialysis center
and Resident 1 never came back and SNF 1 never got the dialysis binder back.
During an interview on 6/2/2025 at 3 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated for dialysis
residents we have a form called Dialysis Communication Record where the SNF 1 nurses will

document prior to resident's dialysis and then the dialysis center will communicate to SNF 1 if anything
special was done to the resident while at the dialysis center, then SNF 1 will assess the resident and
document the post assessment in the Dialysis Communication Record. The DON stated the nurses are the
ones responsible to ensure the Dialysis Communication binder goes and returns with the resident. The
DON stated for Resident 1 we are not sure where the Dialysis Communication binder went. The DON
stated facility staff should have communicated with the dialysis center to get the binder back. The DON
stated SNF 1 does not have Resident 1's Dialysis Communication binder. The DON stated the reason to
have the Dialysis Communication binder is to have continuity of care to see if there has been a Change of
Condition (COC), so each side knows the care that the resident was given and status of the resident. The
DON stated it is for continuity and consistency of the care. The DON stated there can be an issue with
possible missing treatment, and an issue with having accurate documentation.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Charting and Documenting, last reviewed
on 9/2024, the P&P indicated documentation is the medical record will be objective, complete, and
accurate.
