Resident #207's physician ordered repeat labs on 12/13/19 after reviewing elevated lab results on 12/12/19. The 12/13/19 labs were received reflecting a further increase in white blood cell counts; the facility failed to follow through and notify the physician from 12/13/19 to 12/18/19. During chart review on day three of the re-certification survey, the 12/13/19 labs were identified without physician notification or follow up. The facility then obtained stat (immediate) orders for lab testing on 12/18/19. The results of the stat lab tests identified critical values resulting in Resident #207's transfer to the hospital. Findings Included: Review of Resident #207's record reflected the resident admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses of chronic respiratory failure with hypercapnia, tracheostomy status, dysphagia, gastrostomy status, chronic kidney disease, anemia, unspecified focal traumatic brain injury with loss of consciousness, muscle wasting and atrophy, lack of coordination, abnormal posture,need for assistance with personal care, systemic lupus.

The nurse practitioner stated that she saw the resident but was not aware of the 12/13/19 labs as they should have been faxed to the office and placed in the chart. The nurse practitioner stated if the labs were elevated they should have been ordered daily until they were at baseline or under 10 for the white blood cell count and she was unaware that labs were redrawn on 12/13/19. The nurse practitioner stated she saw the resident and that her notes must be at the office still. The nurse practitioner stated that she will have the office send her notes over and will contact the nurse to reorder stat labs. She stated that she was told the labs were lower and ordered the PICC line to be removed due to the information she received from the nurse. Review of the note from a physician or nurse practitioner obtained via fax from the nurse practitioner's office on 12/18/19 at 12:10 p.m. The follow-up note reflected the nurse practitioner did not document lab information received, reviewed or plan of care, documented the resident was alert and oriented times 3 with normal cranial nerves II to XII, normal sensation and strength.

The physician stated he did not evaluate or review the resident's information. He confirmed the labs were all that he looked at and the nurse stated Resident #207's vitals were stable. The physician said that when the labs done on 12/13/19 were reviewed the facility should have called the on call person to let them know the results. The physician stated he comes to the facility every Thursday but did not evaluate the new resident or documents other than the labs from 12/12/19. The physician stated he could not see Resident #207 on 12/12/19 due to receiving 7 to 10 new admissions that day and was not able to see them all. The physician restated the nurse told him the vitals were stable and he would normally see all new residents but that day he had about 8 to 10 new admissions. The physician stated he was unsure of how often the ARNP comes. The physician stated he ordered labs for the next day and never heard about the resident after 12/12/19. During observation of Resident #207 on 12/16/19 at 10:30 a.m., the resident was noted in a double room without isolation precautions. Resident #207's name was not posted at the door. Resident #207's bed and feet could be observed from the doorway.

He left the room to verify the orders of the oxygen and humidity and returned stating the orders were for 2 liters of oxygen, humidity at 28% and deep suction or yankauer suction as needed. Staff member A, LPN confirmed the PICC line dressing on Resident #207's left upper arm was dated 12/8/19 and confirmed the dressing was past the date it should have been changed. Staff member A, LPN stated the PICC line was not being used and would be discontinued due to improving or stable white blood cell count although the white cell count still remained elevated. During an interview on 12/16/19 at 11:31 a.m. with staff member A, LPN he confirmed new orders for a chest x-ray related to the dark colored mucous from the tracheostomy and confirmed the PICC line dressing was changed.
