interview and record review the facility failed to promptly notify the ordering physician regarding laboratory
results outside of clinical reference range for 1 of 3 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for laboratory
services. The facility did not ensure the physician was promptly notified when Resident #1's urinalysis
results completed on 01/29/26 indicated a urinary tract infection, resulting in a delay in treatment until
02/04/26. This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving lab services as ordered and not providing
timely treatment.Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS assessment, dated
12/11/25, reflected a [AGE] year-old female with an admission date of 09/27/24. Resident #1 had a BIMS
score of 15, which indicated she was cognitively intact. She required partial to moderate assistance with
activities of daily living, was occasionally incontinent of bladder and frequently incontinent of bowel.

make it hard to breath by restricting air flow). Record review of Resident #1's physician's verbal orders
dated 01/27/26, reflected, UA with C&S if indicated one time only. written by LVN C. Record review of
Resident #1's Urinalysis lab report completed on 01/29/26, reflected, Urine Nitrates- Positive- (usually

an interview with Resident #1 on 02/10/26 at 8:30 a.m. she stated she was finally feeling a little better. She
stated it took the facility forever to treat her urinary tract infection. She said she told the staff she was having
burning on urination and knew she had a urinary tract infection. She stated LVN C brought her a specimen
cup, but stated she could not remember the exact date. She stated after they took the specimen it took 5-6
days to get any medication. She stated the urinary burning had stopped. She stated she was still taking the
medication the doctor ordered for her. In an interview with LVN A on 02/10/26 at 2:20 p.m. she stated she
was the primary charge nurse on the 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. shift. She stated the process they had in place when
labs were ordered was they place it on the 24-hour report for follow up. She stated when they received the
lab results they review it and either text the MD with the results or faxed it to the physician's office. She
stated she notified the physician on 02/03/26 by text message. She stated she was not sure why the MD
was not notified sooner. She stated that was the week of the ice storm and stated the MD's office was

she was pretty sure she had printed off the lab report for Resident #1 on 01/29/26. She stated she was not
sure why the MD was not notified the next day. In an interview with LVN C on 02/10/26 at 2:45 p.m. she
stated had worked from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. on the weekend of 01/31/26. She stated she stayed at the facility
that weekend due to the icy weather. She stated she saw Resident #1's lab results and stated there was
nothing in the progress notes or on the 24-hour report indicating the MD had been notified. She stated she
faxed the lab results to his office. She stated she placed the lab results back in physician's review book. In
an interview with Resident #1's MD on 02/10/26 at 3:35 p.m. he stated his expectation for the facility staff
was to contact him by phone for any abnormal lab results. He stated he could not recall getting a call from
the facility. He stated the concern for not getting notified could result in a delay in treatment. He stated he
did not feel the delay caused a significant problem and stated they had started Resident #1 on an antibiotic.
During an interview on 02/10/26 at 4:30 p.m., the DON stated she expected the charge nurse who received
the lab results to notify the physician in a timely manner of all abnormal labs. She stated they needed to
document the notification in the progress notes, so the oncoming staff were aware the notification had been
made and note any new orders if any were given. The DON stated she thought the physician was reviewing
the labs through the electronic medical records but stated she was not 100% sure if he or his Nurse
Practitioner had remote access. She stated she was going to have to set up a better process to monitor
labs and ensure they were following up and notifying the MD. She stated she had already started
in-servicing the nurses on the protocol and expectations. She stated a delay in treatment for any infection
could result in a more severe infection which could require an unnecessary hospitalization. During an
interview on 02/10/26 at 4:45 p.m., the Administrator stated he expected the physician to be notified in a
timely manner of labs. The Administrator stated the DON was responsible for overseeing and monitoring
labs. Record review of the facility's undated policy titled Lab and Diagnostic Test Results-Clinical Protocol
reflected, . When test results are reported to the facility, a nurse will first review the results.A nurse will
identify the urgency of communicating with the Attending Physician based on physician request, the
seriousness of any abnormality, and the individual's current condition.A physician can be notified by phone,
fax.another person acting as the physician's agent.Facility staff should document information about when,
how, and to whom the information was provided and the response. This should be done in the Progress
notes section of the medical record and not on the lab results report.Direct voice communication with the
physician is the preferred means for presenting any results requiring immediate notification.
