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 clinical record review, staff interview, and policy review, it was determined that the facility failed to
provide appropriate documentation when transferring a resident to the hospital for one of three sampled
residents. (Resident 1)
Findings include:
Review of the facility policy entitled, Transfer or Discharge Documentation, last reviewed on September 29,
2022, revealed that when a resident was transferred to another level of care, facility staff was to provide
documentation to the receiving service that included (but is not limited to) relevant clinical information and
advance directives.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 1 had diagnoses that included a history of respiratory failure.
On March 31, 2023, the resident was transferred to the hospital via emergency medical services (EMS)
due to a change in condition. There was no documented evidence that the facility provided any clinical
information about the resident's condition to the EMS staff either in writing or verbally when they
transported the residents. In an interview on April 10, 2023, at 12:15 p.m., the Director of Nursing stated
that nursing staff gave a report to the hospital, but did not give any clinical information to the EMS staff.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review, review of emergency medical service (EMS) records, and staff interview, it was
determined that the facility failed to provide oxygen therapy to one of three sampled residents with
respiratory problems. (Resident 1)
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that
included respiratory failure and pulmonary fibrosis. The admission Minimum Data Set assessment, dated
March 21, 2023, indicated that the resident required extensive assistance from staff for care and that he
used supplemental oxygen. According to multiple notes by the medical provider (physician or nurse
practitioner) throughout the resident's stay, he was at risk for respiratory problems and required
supplemental oxygen. On March 23, 2023, the nurse practioner noted that staff was to monitor the
residents oxygen saturation rate (a percentage of oxygen absorbed in the blood) every shift, and to
administer enough supplemental oxygen to keep that rate over 92 percent (%). According to EMS records,
on March 31, 2023, at 5:20 p.m., the resident's oxygen saturation rate dropped to 78%. In an interview with
the Director of Nursing on April 10, 2023, at 12:15 p.m., she stated that the facility investigation determined
that a nurse incorrectly provided the resident's supplemental oxygen from a portable tank with a limited
supply instead of the main facility oxygen supply. As a result, when the tank supply was depleted the
resident did not receive supplemental oxygen for an unknown period of time.
