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 record review and interviews, the facility did not ensure medical records were completed and accurate for one resident (#2) out of three sampled residents.
Findings included: Review of admission Records showed Resident #2 was admitted to the facility from the hospital on 5/2/25 and discharged from the facility on 5/11/25. On 6/11/25 at 10:30 a.m. Resident #2's Nursing admission Screening/History, dated 5/2/25, was reviewed. The Nursing admission Screening/History was blank with the exception of the vitals signs that auto populate when the documented is initiated. There was no documentation under the sections for admission details, level of consciousness/orientation/neurological, social history/lifestyle concerns, general appearance, HEENT (head, eyes, ears, nose throat), respiratory/chest, cardiac/circulation, GI (gastrointestinal)/bowel, GU (genitourinary)/bladder, extremities/gait/mobility, skin, ADL's (activities of daily living)/functional devices, other relevant diagnoses/concerns, pain, and medications. On 6/11/25 at approximately 12:45 p.m. a request was made to the Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) to print Resident #2's Nursing admission Screening/History, dated 5/2/25. The CNO was notified the assessment was not completed. On 6/11/25 at 4:45 p.m. a printed copy of Resident #2's 5/2/25 Nursing admission Screening/History was provided. At that time the assessment was observed to have all sections fully completed. Upon review of the electronic medical record it was noted the assessment had been locked on 6/11/25 at 4:37 p.m. by Staff A, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)/Unit Manager (UM). An interview was conducted on 6/11/25 at 4:54 p.m. with Staff A, LPN/UM. When asked about Resident #2's Nursing admission Screening/History from 5/2/25 Staff A immediately put her head down and her shoulders slumped. Staff A said she noticed the assessment had not been completed so she filled it out today, 6/11/25. She said she was not the nurse that did Resident #2's admission. She said the nurse that did the admission assessment no longer worked at the facility. Staff A said she did remember looking at the resident every day when she came in. Staff A said she did not know why the admission assessment was not completed. She said she normally did not go in and fill out documentation late, especially for things she did not do herself. When asked what made her look at Resident #2's Nursing admission Screening/History on 6/11/25, she said they requested I look at it. When asked whom she was referring to, Staff A stated the CNO went to her and asked her to make sure everything is there and good on Resident #2's 5/2/25 admission assessment. Staff A said she knew she should not have completed the documentation when she didn't do the assessment. An interview was conducted on 6/12/25 at 1:47 p.m. with the facility's CNO. The CNO said there was a list of assessments and documents the admitting nurse should complete when a resident is admitted to the facility. She confirmed this included the Nursing admission Screening/History. She said when the Nursing admission Screening/History is completed, it should be signed and locked. She said if is not locked by the nurse it will stay in progress. She said if someone else noticed it wasn't locked and locked the document for the nurse, that person should not change or add any documentation. She

said she expected if a nurse started an assessment, they should finish it, sign it, and then lock it. In regard to Resident #2, the CNO said she asked Staff A, LPN/UM to help her print the documents that had been requested. She said she did not remember being told the 5/2/25 Nursing admission Screening/History for Resident #2 was blank, but she should have been notified. The CNO said she was trying to do multiple things. She said the assessment should have been fully completed when Resident #2 was admitted on [DATE]. She said nurses were not supposed to enter information if they were not there, even if they knew the resident. She said her expectation was that all documentation should have been completed within 72 hours at the most. She said if it was more than 72 hours after admission and an assessment was not fully completed, she would expect the nurse to print the incomplete documentation and scan it into the miscellaneous section of the medical record, then start a new assessment and complete it. The CNO said the only documentation that should be put in a resident record after they are discharged would be a recap of the resident's stay if that is needed. The CNO confirmed Resident #2 was discharged from the facility on 5/11/25, one month prior to the Nursing admission Screening/History being completed and locked. The CNO reviewed Resident #2's 5/2/25 Nursing admission Screening/History and confirmed it was locked on 6/11/25 by Staff A, LPN/UM. The CNO said Staff A, LPN/UM should not have completed the documentation. The CNO said she did not ask Staff A to look at Resident #2's assessment and complete it. The CNO stated the facility did not have a policy documentation of admission assessments. Review of a facility policy titled Ethics, revised 12/11/24 showed under policy: It is the policy of [Corporation name] that all employees are governed by the Company's Policies and Procedures and shall conduct company business in a manner which is at all times legal, ethical and integral and in alignment with as outlined by the corporate officers. The procedure showed: The employee handbook provides general guidelines for employees in order to meet the highest standards of business conduct as set forth in the policy statement above.
