#137 revealed the facility did not send any documentation to dialysis and did not believe they had access to
the facility medical record.
Interview on 03/26/25 at 5:40 P.M. with Director of Nursing confirmed the facility had no evidence of
communication with dialysis center from the medical team and nursing. DON revealed the dialysis center
would never complete their part of the form so they stopped sending it a few years ago. DON confirmed the
vitals on the electronic form titled pre and post dialysis assessment were just flowing from the last vitals
taken and not specific to dialysis as they were done every 12 hours and not shortly before and after his
four-hour dialysis sessions.
Review of facility policy titled, Care Planning Special Needs - Dialysis, dated 12/28/23, revealed facility shall
provide the necessary care and treatment consistent with professional standards of practice. The care plan
will reflect the coordination between the facility and the dialysis provider. Nursing staff shall provide a report
to dialysis provider regarding residents condition and treatment provided each dialysis treatment day. If no
report is received back from dialysis provider facility staff shall call to receive a report.
