Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
Based on medical record review, staff interview, review of the emergency medical service report (EMS),
and review of the facility policy, the facility failed to ensure the resident medical record included accurate
documentation. This affected one (Resident #95) of three residents whose records were reviewed for
medical record documentation. The facility census was 94 residents.
Finding include:

date of 03/25/24. Diagnoses included cerebral infarction, a stroke, chronic kidney disease.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for Resident #95 dated 02/18/24 revealed the resident
had moderately impaired cognition and was dependent on staff assistance with transfers and used a
wheelchair.
Review of the progress note for Resident #95 dated 03/14/24 timed at 2:21 P.M. revealed the resident left
for an eye appointment.
Review of the progress note for Resident #95 dated 03/15/24 timed at 04:04 A.M. revealed the nurse called
the emergency room for an update on the resident.
Review of the EMS report for Resident #95 dated 3/14/23 timed at 5:04 P.M. revealed the resident was in
the back of the facility van and started sliding out of her wheelchair. The resident complained of chest pain
and stated she felt weak and sick. Further review of the report revealed the resident was taken off the van,
put on a stretcher, and transported via ambulance to the emergency room.
Interview on 04/04/24 at 3:15 P.M. with Transporter #233 confirmed upon return trip back from an
appointment Resident #95 started to slide out of her chair. The transporter stopped the van, called 911, and
positioned himself against the resident's knees to prevent the resident from sliding out of her chair. The
resident was transported by EMS to the emergency room.
Review of the progress notes for Resident #95 dated 03/14/24 through 03/15/24 revealed the notes did not
include documentation regarding the incident described by Transporter #233 in which the resident started
to slide out of her chair and was transported to the hospital via EMS.
Interview on 04/15/24 at 3:03 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed Resident #95's medical
record did include documentation regarding the incident described by Transporter #233 in which the
resident started to slide out of her chair and was transported to the hospital via EMS.
Review of the policy titled Clinical Documentation Standards undated revealed nurses should follow the
basic standard of practice for documentation which included providing a timely and accurate account of
resident information in the medical record.
