**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure Discharge Instruction was completed and provided
to a resident upon discharge to ensure a safe and effective transition of care. This failure affected 1 (R5)
resident reviewed for discharge requirement in the total sample of 12 residents. Findings include:On
09/02/2025 at 12:09pm, V9 (Assistant Administrator) stated when a resident discharges, there is a
Discharge Assessment the nurse prints out at the time of discharge. Nursing will print the Discharge
Assessment and the resident or family signs the Discharge Assessment. On 09/02/2025 at 12:14pm, this
surveyor opened R5's EHR (Electronic Health Record). V9 stated the Discharge Assessment is on the
Assessment tab. Upon opening R5's Discharge Instruction on Assessment tab, Sections A and B were
highlighted ‘Green', and Sections C, D, E and G were not highlighted. V9 stated if the section is completed it
will be in ‘green'. V9 checked R5's Discharge Instruction and stated his (R5) Discharge Instruction is not yet
completed. V9 stated the process remains the same, the facility will open up the Discharge Assessment
and IDT (Interdisciplinary Team) complete their part. Based on what is showing on the Discharge
Instruction, she (V7 -Social Services Director) did her part, but nursing did not complete their part. The
Discharge Instruction should be completed before his discharge; and nursing will be the one printing it and
give the Discharge Instruction to the resident or his family member and on this case to (V24-R5 family
member). The importance of completing the Discharge Instruction is for the continuity of care because
Discharge Instructions include the resident's medications, appointments, and the resident's diet; and
instruction for the continuation of care for wherever the resident is discharged to, which is his home. On
09/02/2025 at 12:35pm, V7 (Social Services Director) stated she opened a Discharge Assessment in
electronic health record system and completed two sections and nursing department does the rest.
Sections A and B are already completed, and Sections C, D, E, F, and G are not completed. ‘Section F' was
highlighted yellow because she wrote a note that the Durable Medical Equipment are already available in
his home where he would be discharged . Nursing is in charge of making sure all the sections on the
discharge assessment is completed. The Dietary Section, the Dietary Department can fill out that Section,
but nursing also knows the diet order so they can, too, fill out that Section. The importance of completing
the Discharge Assessment is for the continuity of care. On 09/03/2025 at 9:57am, V25 (Licensed Practice
Nurse) stated she did not remember giving the Discharge Instruction to (R5). She did not remember filling
out the Discharge Instruction form for him (R5). V25 stated nobody reminded her to complete the Nursing
Sections of the Discharge Instruction. On 09/02/2025 at 1:09pm, V15 (Medical Records/Transportation)
stated the facility has discharge papers the resident or the POA (Power of Attorney) signs and she (V15) is
responsible for uploading the discharge document to the electronic health record. On 09/02/2025 at
1:10pm, V15 checked R5's electronic health record and stated the discharge paper that is signed by the
resident or the POA is still not uploaded. The nurses usually put the discharge paper

in a ‘scan' box to be uploaded to the system. V15 stated if he (R5) was discharged on 08/14/2025 then she
(V15) should have uploaded the discharge paper already because she checks the scan box every other
day. On 09/03/2025 at 10:23am, V15 (Medical Records/Transportation) stated she was not able to find the

(RN-Registered Nurse/Night Shift Supervisor) stated the facility has Discharge Assessment on the
‘Assessment' tab in EHR system. The nurse, who will discharge the resident, is expected to complete the
Discharge Assessment in EHR system. The night shift nurse assigned to the resident is responsible for
completing the Medications Section of the Discharge Assessment. The nurse, who is discharging the
resident, should print the completed Discharge Assessment because there is a section on the Discharge
Assessment where the resident has to sign. Signing the Discharge Assessment is an acknowledgment that
the resident or the POA receives the medication and the discharge instruction. Each section of the
Discharge Assessment will turn green once completed. If it did not turn green, it means that section is not
completed or answered yet. Discharge Assessment should be completed prior to discharge. A complete
Discharge Assessment gives instruction to the resident or family how they will take the medication and the
purpose of the medication. It also explains the follow up appointments that are scheduled. If not completed
and not given to the resident, the resident may miss the appointments and or may not take the medications
appropriately. R5's admission Record documented that R5's diagnoses (include but not limited to)
hemiplegia and hemiparesis, sequelae of cerebral infarction, and morbid obesity due to excess calorie. R5's

(06/30/2025) care plan documented, in part I wish to be discharged home w/family. Will
