or potential for actual harm
Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room,
etc.) that affect the resident.
Based on facility policy review, clinical record review, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility
failed to timely notify hospice of a change in condition for one of six residents reviewed (Resident 1).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include:
Review of facility policy, titled Notification of Changes, revised August 29, 2023, revealed, The facility must
inform the resident, consult with the resident's physician and/or notify the resident's family member or legal
representative when there is a change requiring such notification. Circumstances requiring notification
include: .Significant change in the resident's physical, mental or psychosocial condition such as
deterioration in health, mental or psychosocial status.
Review of the facility's hospice contract with Resident 1's hospice provider, most recently dated August 26,
2013, revealed Facility shall immediately notify Hospice when: a. A significant change in a patient's
physical, mental, social or emotional status occurs. b. Clinical complications appear that suggest the need
to alter the plan of care. The contract also stated, in part, to ensure that the needs of the patient are
addressed and met 24 hours per day.
Review of Resident 1's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included acute respiratory failure with
hypoxia (when the lungs can't get enough oxygen into the blood) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (a type
of cancer).
Further review of Resident 1's clinical record revealed that she was admitted to hospice on July 11, 2024,
with a primary diagnosis of interstitial pulmonary disease (an umbrella term used for a large group of
diseases that cause scarring of the lungs. The scarring causes stiffness in the lungs which makes it difficult
to breathe and get oxygen to the bloodstream).

via nasal cannula.
Review of Resident 1's nursing progress note dated July 21, 2024, at 11:43 PM, revealed that at around
9:00 PM, Resident 1's oxygen saturation was 86% on 5 L of oxygen via nasal cannula. RN (registered
nurse) assessment revealed the Resident was laying in her bed with her eyes closed, with oxygen
saturation 48% on 5 L of oxygen. Resident 1 denied shortness of breath, pain, or discomfort. Resident 1

hospice should have been contacted during the night when Resident 1's oxygen saturation was 48-52%.
