Based on medical record review and staff interviews, the facility failed to ensure a resident was transported
to and from off campus medical appointments in a timely manner resulting in delayed treatment. This
affected one (Resident #24) of three residents reviewed for transportation to outside appointments. The
facility census was 66.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #24 revealed a readmission date of 06/26/23. Diagnoses
included unspecified displaced fracture of second cervical vertebra with routine healing, hypertensive heart
and chronic kidney disease, unspecified dementia and left frontal parietal scalp lesion consistent with
known angiosarcoma. Resident #24 started radiation treatments to the left frontal parietal scalp on
09/19/23.
Review of physician's orders revealed an order for Resident #24 to see the Brain and Spine Physician on
09/18/23. The resident was to be picked up at 8:15 A.M. and his daughter would meet him at the
appointment. Special instructions included to have paperwork ready and to have the resident in a regular
sized wheelchair.
Further review of the medical record and progress notes from 07/03/23 to 09/26/23 revealed Resident #24
was scheduled for an initial appointment to have a stimulation evaluation on 08/09/23. There was no
documentation as to why the resident missed the appointment. The stimulation evaluation was rescheduled
for 08/16/23 and canceled due to transportation issues. The stimulation evaluation was rescheduled for
08/23/23, the resident missed the appointment and there was no documentation as to why the appointment
was missed. The appointment was rescheduled for 08/28/23 and canceled due to transportation issues.
Interview on 09/26/23, at 10:46 A.M. with Resident #24's daughter revealed she met her father for his
appointment on 09/18/23 and stood in the parking lot while the driver of the van worked for an hour to get
her dad out of the van. Resident #24 was an hour late for his appointment. She was upset, because this
had happened before, and the facility had been instructed to put her father in a standard sized wheelchair
prior to appointments. This was not the first time he was stuck. Resident #24's daughter stated the resident
must be in a regular size wheelchair, because the insurance company's transportation contracts do not
have transportation vans for wide wheelchairs.
Interview on 09/26/23 at 10:55 A.M. with Facility's Transportation Associate (FTA) #112 revealed she
arranged transportation for Resident #24 and instructed staff to ensure the resident was in a regular sized
wheelchair. Resident #24 was picked up as scheduled on 09/18/23 at 8:15 A.M. About an hour later, FTA
#112 received a call from the driver explaining he could not get Resident #24 out of the

van. She told the driver to call back if he had additional problems, and he never called back. Resident #24
returned to the facility later that day. It was unknown which transportation company brought Resident #24
back to the facility.
Interview on 09/26/23 at 5:56 P.M. with the Cab Representative #502 confirmed their driver picked up
Resident #24 on 09/18/23 at 8:15 A.M. The driver stated Resident #24 was in a wide wheelchair. The driver
was able to get Resident #24 loaded into the van, but it took several minutes of maneuvering to get him out
of the van upon arrival to the appointment. The driver notified the facility of the issue. When transportation
arrangements were made, it was assumed the wheelchair would fit in a certified van used to transport
standard sized wheelchairs.
Interview on 09/27/23 at 1:53 P.M. with Occupational Therapist (OT) #600 revealed Resident #24 had two
wheelchairs, one was wide, which provided the resident more room, and one was normal sized, which was
to be used when transporting the resident to and from appointments. The normal or standard size
wheelchair was about 16 to 20 inches wide and had orange grippers to identify its size. OT #600
periodically checks to ensure the resident has a standard sized wheelchair is in his room available for when
he has an outside appointment.
Interview on 09/26/23 at 1:00 P.M. with Radiation Therapist (RT) #500 revealed the doctor saw Resident
#24 on 07/26/23 for an initial consult for radiation treatment. Resident #24 was scheduled to have his
stimulation evaluation for his angiosarcoma treatment on 08/09/23 and was to be transported via stretcher.
The facility canceled the appointment, and Resident #24 was rescheduled four different times (4 within
weeks) because the facility kept calling the clinic and canceling the evaluation. Resident #24 finally had his
stimulation evaluation on 08/31/23. His radiation therapy started 09/19/23.
Interview on 09/27/23 at 3:00 P.M. with Regional Clinical Director (RCD) #205 explained they followed
Resident #24's insurance coverage when scheduling transportation for appointments. If the doctor wanted
Resident #24's appointments sooner, he should have had the resident admitted as emergent to have the
stimulation done.
Interview on 10/02/23 at 9:26 A.M. with Radiation Physician (RP) #700 revealed Resident #24 missed the
simulation evaluation four weeks in a row, which delayed his radiation treatment. The stimulation evaluation
did not take place until 08/31/23.
The facility denied having a policy or procedure for scheduling outside appointments for residents and
making transportation arrangements.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00146741.
