The DON reviewed the phone for Resident #92's unit. She found the same text to the APRN dated 12/23/24. Photographic evidence obtained. The DON verified the text message included an order for Stat lab work. The DON reviewed the Electronic Health Record and did not find an order for stat lab work for 12/23/24.

She said the nurse assigned to the patient that day had been an agency nurse and hadn't worked at the facility since January. The DON said there is a double check of orders when entered into the electronic health record, but she was not sure if there was any double check of the phone to ensure texted orders were not missed. The DON said they had been discussing moving away from the text system for orders. On 5/1/25 10:05 a.m., in an interview the interim DON said at this time there was no policy and procedure for medication orders as far as written, verbal, telephone or text. She said this was something they will need to look into. FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105672 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 2
