appointment and she ended up using her car to take Resident 1 to the appointment. The FM stated when

did not provide the hip x-ray result and OS would not assess Resident 1's hip without the x-ray result. The

Resident 1 because there was no hip x-ray result. The ASD stated the usual process was during resident
admission in the facility, the admission staff normally provides me the residents appointment information to
prepare residents for their appointments and it did not happen for Resident 1. The ASD stated the facility
knew OS always wants an x-ray result for his patients to bring for follow-up appointment. The ASD stated a
hip x-ray should have been performed prior to Resident 1 going to his follow-up appointment.
