Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in accordance with accepted professional standards. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to, in accordance with accepted professional standards and practices, maintain medical records on each resident that were complete and accurately documented for 1 of 6 residents (Residents #1) reviewed for medical records.The facility failed to ensure Resident #1's physician's orders were updated to include the resident was a DNR status and was uploaded in his medical record.This deficient practice could place residents at risk of improper care due to inaccurate medical records.The findings include:Record review of Resident #1's admission Record, dated [DATE], indicated a [AGE] year-old male who admitted to the facility on [DATE] and expired [DATE]. Resident #1 had diagnoses which included malignant neoplasm of colon (colon cancer), hypertensive heart disease (damaged heart muscle due to high blood pressure), anemia (not enough healthy red blood cells in the body) and infection of amputation stump, right lower extremity (infection in the right lower leg where it was cut off).Record review of Resident #1's active physician orders, dated [DATE], indicated he was a full code, dated [DATE], and there was not an end date.Record review of Resident #1's MDS Assessments indicated he had a death assessment dated [DATE].Record review of an interim care plan, dated [DATE], indicated he had terminal prognosis related to colon cancer and did not have a code status on the care plan.Record review of Resident #1's MDS Assessments indicated there was an entry assessment dated [DATE].Record review of an OOH DNR for Resident #1 was signed and dated [DATE] by Resident #1 and the MD.During an interview on [DATE] at 4:33 PM, the admission Director said she was responsible for getting residents admitted into the facility and would help them fill out their admission paperwork. She said she remembered Resident #1 when he was at the facility, and he admitted with hospice for a respite stay. She said on [DATE], he was admitted to the facility, and she helped him complete his admission paperwork and it was all electronic. She said he signed an OOH DNR on admission which was included in the admission paperwork. She said the hospice company arranged transport for him to get to the facility and he was adamant he wanted a DNR, and she explained to him what it was, and he signed it. She said he was alert and oriented x3. She said once the DNR was signed, she then gave it to the SW who would facilitate getting it signed by the physician. She said the SW would be responsible for informing the family that a DNR was signed and if one was not signed on admission, then the resident would be a full code which meant CPR would be performed. She said his wishes were to go (he was ready to die). She said the DNR was signed by the physician before he passed and was back in the facility. She said she never saw the family in the facility and only spoke to Resident #1 and the hospice company. She said the resident was able to make his needs known.During an interview on [DATE] at 4:45 PM, the Administrator said the facility had a signed OOH DNR for Resident #1 that was signed on his admission to the facility by him, the admission Director, and the physician. She said she was not sure why the signed DNR was not uploaded into Resident #1's chart. She said all staff were aware Resident #1 had a DNR
