Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and interview, it was determined that the facility failed to inform 1 of 1 sampled resident (Resident #28) of her rights to receive timely specialized rehabilitation services, physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT). Residents Affected - Few The finding included: Review of the facility's policy titled, Scheduling Therapy Services revised July 2013 documented, Therapy Services shall be scheduled in accordance with the resident's treatment plan; and Specialized rehabilitative services must be provided under the written order of a physician by qualified personnel.

Resident #28 required immediate therapeutic interventions as ordered by her physician. Review of the Physicians' Orders dated 05/17/2024 revealed a physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) orders to evaluate and to treat Resident #28. The PT and OT clarification orders dated 06/3/2024 indicated the following: OT treatment 3 x week x 60 days for self-care, wheelchair management, group treatment, manual therapy, and a PT clarification order for PT treatment 3x/week x60 days for therapeutic-exercises, therapeutic activities, gait training, and safety education. In essence, Resident #28 was supposed to receive both physical and occupational therapies three times a week for 60 days. Review of the plan of care dated 05/17/2024, for PT and OT documented Resident #28 had: Alteration in musculoskeletal status related to post fall with diagnosis of right hip nondisplaced fracture.

F 0552 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few done within 24-hours of a resident's admission to the facility. Therapy services usually begin between 24-72 hours of the resident's admission. The DON also stated that it is the facility's policy for ensuring that therapeutic services are provided timely. Interviews with the Lead Physical Therapist (Employee A) and the Physical Therapy Consultant on 06/13/24 at 09:16 AM, revealed that the facility has 24-to 48 hours to assess residents' physical needs, or conduct an evaluation for all newly admitted residents. However, therapeutic treatment did not start for Resident #28 until 06/3/2024 for both Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy. The Rehabilitation Consultant explained that physical therapy services were delayed because of a payor source issue. She added that the Physician Order to evaluate and treat Resident #28 was issued on 05/17/2024, but they were not sure who was going to pay. Also, Resident #28 had a private insurance that had denied the authorization to treat, or to pay for services. The Rehabilitation Consultant further stated that delaying provision of services was an error of their part. They were obliged to evaluate and treat Resident #28, as per physician's orders. During an interview on 06/13/24 at 9:39 AM, the Business Office Manager (BOM) stated before admitting any resident to the facility, the admission Coordinator usually shares with the business office information regarding the incoming resident payor source, whether it is Medicare part A or B, Medicaid or private insurance. The BOM stated once a resident is admitted to the facility, services must be provided. The BOM added there should not be any reason to delay treatment once the physician has given the order to assess and treat the resident. The BOM explained that Resident #28 had a Medicaid case pending but she was eligible for Medicare Part B since her admission to the facility, and was eligible for rehabilitation services. The BOM said that the Rehabilitation Department was supposed to bring the physician order to the business office to initiate the process or authorization for treatment, but they did not bring anything to her. During an interview on 6/13/24 at 9:45 AM, the admission Director (AD) stated that she knew that Resident #28 had [ ] insurance prior to her being admitted to the facility. The facility that the resident was admitted from told her that the resident would no longer receive services from [ .]. The AD stated that they made it clear to Resident #28's legal representative and the family that [ ] would not approve services since Resident #28 had reached her highest physical level from the facility she was being discharge from. The AD stated because of that reason PT and OT treatment was delayed until 06/3/2024. They were waiting for Resident #28 to be disenrolled from the [ ] plan and to enroll in the Medicare part B plan. During an interview on 06/13/24 at 10:41 AM, Resident #28 stated that she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. She said that when she arrived at the facility, they told her that she had to wait to have therapy. She said that she did not know that she could have been treated within 24-hours of her admission, while her case was being processed. She stated that since she started treatment she has made significant progress, she is now able to stand. However, Resident #28 said that it was brutal laying in bed for three weeks while waiting for approval of her Medicare benefits. She wished someone had explained this to her sooner. The findings were discussed with the Administration at the exit conference on 06/13/2024 at 3:49 PM, and the representatives were offered an opportunity to provide any further information regarding the identified concern. There were no questions. The Administrator acknowledged the findings.

During that meeting, the team discussed Resident #28's Medications; Resident #28's family wanted resident to continue with taking the pain meds more often, and the facility suggested that the Tramadol be changed to routinely rather than as needed (prn) and everyone agreed. The Pain management Doctor was notified of the family's request. The Family wanted Resident #28 to be out of bed (OOB) for at least 90 mins or as she can tolerates sitting up. The MDS Coordinator documented that she spoke with the resident, who stated the most she can sit upright is no more than 90 minutes because she has spinal stenosis and Arthritic pain.
