F 0623 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide timely notification to the resident, and if applicable to the resident representative and ombudsman, before transfer or discharge, including appeal rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record reviews and interviews the facility failed to provide the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman with a written notice of the hospital transfers for two (#63 and #105) out of two residents reviewed for hospitalizations. Findings included: 1. Review of the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) census revealed Resident #63 was admitted on [DATE]. Further review of the EMR indicated that an unplanned transfer occurred for the resident to an acute care facility on 4/29/21 and was returned to this facility on 5/3/21. An additional review of the EMR did not include information that the Ombudsman was notified of Resident #63's transfer that occurred on 4/29/21. 2. Review of the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) census and the physical hard copy of the clinical record for Resident #105 that indicated the resident was admitted on [DATE]. Further review of the EMR and the hard copies indicated that the resident had an unplanned transfer on 4/28/21. An additional review of the EMR and hard copy of Resident #105's clinical record did not indicate that the Ombudsman was notified of the residents transfer on 4/28/21. An interview was conducted on 6/24/21 at 12:15 p.m. with the Social Service Director (SSD). The SSD stated she tries to notify the State Office of the Ombudsman quarterly but could not locate documentation that the Ombudsman office was notified of transfers and/or discharges that occurred after January 2021.
