F 0622
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Not transfer or discharge a resident without an adequate reason; and must provide documentation and
convey specific information when a resident is transferred or discharged.
Based on medical record review and staff interview, the facility failed to coordinate care with the home
health agency to ensure a smooth and safe resident discharge. This affected one (#90) of three residents
reviewed for discharge planning. The facility census was 89.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #90 revealed an admission date of 09/21/23, with diagnoses
including chronic osteomyelitis, atherosclerotic heart disease, presence of cardiac pacemaker, atrial
fibrillation, epilepsy, anxiety disorder, and major depressive disorder.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) for Resident #90 dated 10/06/23 revealed resident was discharged
to home with a return not anticipated. Review of MDS revealed resident was cognitively intact and required
supervision and touching assistance with activities of daily living.
Review of the discharge paperwork for Resident #90 with home health services revealed the resident was
discharged with an order dated 09/21/2, for Vancomycin once daily via intravenous (IV) for 36 days and an
order for a Vancomycin level to be drawn every Friday. The paperwork did not include when Resident #90
last received a dose of IV Vancomycin or her most recent Vancomycin level laboratory results.
Interview on 10/16/23 at 1:52 P.M., with Registered Nurse (RN) #123 confirmed she was the nurse who
discharged resident on 10/06/23. RN #123 confirmed she was unable to send IV Vancomycin because she
was awaiting the vancomycin level results and the pharmacy would not send the medication without the
results. RN #123 confirmed she asked the resident to wait until they had this information and could order
the Vancomycin, but the resident was anxious to leave and told the nurse she would follow up with her
home health nurse about continuing the Vancomycin. RN #123 further confirmed she did not notify the
home health agency regarding the pending Vancomycin laboratory results and that Vancomycin and IV
supplies were not sent home with resident upon discharge. RN #123 confirmed the discharge paperwork
did not include information regarding Resident #90's most recent dose of Vancomycin received.
