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 interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain medical records for one resident (R1) in accordance with its policy and accepted professional standards of practices that are complete and accurately documented. This failure affects one of three residents reviewed for records, in a total sample of three residents.
Findings include: During record review of R1s' electronic health record on 11/06/2024, at approximately 1:30 PM, R1s' most recent community survival assessment dated [DATE], documents that R1 is not capable of unsupervised outside pass privileges at this time. R1s' community survival skills assessment dated [DATE] and signed by V29 (Behavioral Health Counselor/BHC), documents that R1 is not sufficiently oriented and coherent affording her the potential for independent pass privileges. R1s' assessment also documents that R1 is not capable of unsupervised outside pass privileges. Surveyor requests a copy of R1s' most recent community survival assessment from V7 (Director of Behavioral Health) on 11/06/2024, at approximately 2:45 PM. On 11/06/2024, at 3:22PM, V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) states the facility staff assesses the residents quarterly to update their needs to go out on community pass. On 11/06/2024, at approximately 4:15 PM, V7 brings surveyor a community survival skills assessment dated [DATE]. Surveyor makes V7 aware that the assessment was not documented in R1s' electronic health record prior to surveyor's request. V7 states the assessment was completed on 08/08/2024 but was not signed until today 11/06/2024. On 11/06/2024, at 5:22 PM, V1 (Administrator) provided surveyor with a community survival skills assessment with information handwritten in ink dated 07/11/2023. Surveyor observes that this handwritten assessment dated [DATE], provided by V1 does not match the information from the electronic assessment dated [DATE] inside of R1s' electronic health record. On 11/07/2024, at 2:30 PM, surveyor inquires to V1 about the handwritten assessment. V1 states V7 provided the assessment to V1 to give to surveyor. Surveyor makes V1 aware that the handwritten assessment dated [DATE], provided by V7, does not match the information from the assessment dated [DATE], inside of R1s' electronic health record. On 11/07/2024 at 3:02 PM, V7 (Director of Behavioral Health) stated the reason for the handwritten assessment is because she realized that R1s' electronic community survival skills assessment was completed inaccurately. V7 stated upon her noticing it, she gave V29 (BHC/Behavioral Health Counselor) another assessment form and informed V29 to complete a new form, which is why the form is now handwritten. V7 stated the electronic assessment that is dated 07/11/2023, in R1s' electronic health record documents that R1 cannot have unsupervised pass privileges which conflicts with R1s' physician orders. V7 stated R1s' physician orders document that R1 can have unrestricted independent passes. V7 stated the community survival skills assessment are completed annually or upon any significant
