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.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and facility documents review, the facility failed to take the resident (Resident 1) back after
Resident 1 signed out for an out on pass (OOP, leave of absence) with a physician ' s order, for one of three
sampled residents reviewed for residents discharged against medical advice (AMA, when a patient checks
himself out against the advice of his doctor).
As a result, Resident 1 was discharged against medical advice on 2/8/25. This failure was an unsafe
discharge and had the potential to compromise Resident 1 ' s health, safety and well-being.
Cross Reference F 655 and F 689.
Findings:
On 2/10/25 and 2/12/25, the Department received complaints related to admission, transfer and discharge
rights.
On 2/18/25, an unannounced onsite to the facility was conducted.
Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included paraplegia (loss of
movement and/or sensation, to some degree, of the legs), osteomyelitis (inflammation of bone or bone
marrow, usually due to infection) and pressure ulcer (bed sores), per the facility's admission Record.
On 2/18/25, a review of Resident 1 ' s clinical record was conducted.
Resident 1's minimum data set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool), completed
12/23/24, indicated Resident 1's brief interview for mental status (BIMS, ability to recall) score was 15/15 (a
score of 13 to 15 suggests the patient is cognitively intact, 8 to 12 suggests moderately impaired and 0 to 7
suggests severe impairment).
On 2/18/25 at 11:44 A.M., a joint review of Resident 1 ' s clinical record, and facility ' s policy and an
interview with Licensed Nurse (LN) 2 was conducted. LN 2 stated the process of resident signing OOP was
for every physician ' s order, the duration would be 4 hours, unless the physician specified the duration the
resident could be out. LN 2 stated Resident 1 had been going OOP and there were times Resident 1
returned to the facility later than the expected time of return. LN 2 stated Resident 1 went OOP on 2/8/25
and left the facility at around 11:30 A.M. and was expected to return at 3:30 P.M.
