Residents Affected - Some
This failure had the potential to result in embarrassment and decreased self-esteem for both Residents 25
and 80.
Findings:
1. Review of Resident 25's admission Record on 5/19/19 indicated Resident 25 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses which included Schizoaffective disorder (a mental disorder in which a
person experiences a combination of hallucinations or delusions and is hallmarked by a mood disorder
such as depression or mania).
Continued review of Resident 25's Minimum Data Set (MDS - An assessment tool used to direct health
care needs) dated 2/14/19 showed that Resident 25 was cognitively intact and could understand and be
understood by others. The MDS also indicated Resident 25 needed extensive assistance with her Activities
of Daily Living (ADL - everyday personal hygienic care) with the help of one person.
During an observation and concurrent interview on 5/19/19 at 7:27 p.m., Resident 25 was sitting outside of
her room. Resident 25 stated that her assigned Mental Health Worker (MHW) told her she would come
back to shave her facial hair, however the MHW had not returned to assist her.
During a separate observation and concurrent interview on 5/20/19 at 9:32 a.m., Resident 25's unshaven
facial hair remained. Mental Health Worker (MHW 2) stated he would attend to Resident 25 personal
hygienic needs.
2. Review of Resident 80's admission Record on 5/19/19 showed Resident 80 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses which included Undifferentiated Schizophrenia (a mental illness in which
a person has symptoms of schizophrenia that cannot be classified into a particular type, such as paranoid,
catatonic or disorganized).
Continued review of Resident 80's Annual MDS dated on 4/10/19 showed that Resident 80 cognition was
moderately impaired and that she had difficulties sometimes understanding or being understood by others.
The MDS also indicated that Resident 80 needed supervision with her ADLs with the assistance of one
person.
During an observation and concurrent interview on 5/19/19 at 4:15 p.m., Resident 80 stated she

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 3. Record
review on 5/21/19 of the document titled, admission Record, showed the facility admitted Resident 16 on
1/26/17 with diagnoses which included kidney disease.
Review of the document titled, MDS 3.0 Nursing Home Comprehensive Version, (Minimum Data Set - An
assessment used to direct health care needs) dated for 2/4/19, showed Resident 16 was on an
anticoagulant (blood thinner) medication.
Review of Resident 16's Medication Administration Record dated for 1/1/9 through 2/28/19, showed no
reference of an anticoagulant medication.
In an interview on 5/21/19 at 8:30 a.m., the facility's Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed Resident 16 had
not been receiving an anticoagulant medication and the MDS documentation that indicated he was, was a
mistake.
In an interview on 5/21/19 at 9:15 a.m., the facility's Minimum Data Set Coordinator (MDSC) confirmed the
indication of Resident 16 being on an anticoagulant medication on Resident 16's MDS form, was an error.
2. During a review of the clinical record 5/19/19 at 6 p.m., the admission record (face sheet), indicated that
Resident 193 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] from a Regional Medical Center/Psychiatric Hospital
with diagnoses which included Schizophrenia (a mental illness hallmarked by delusions and/or
hallucinations).
Review of discharge records from the transferring facility for Resident 193 dated on 4/29/19 showed that
the coordination of transfer from the community hospital that Resident 193 came from was not indicated on
the admission record.
Review of the facility's social services progress notes dated on 4/30/19 at 4:41 p.m., showed that the
admission history and physical for Resident 193 dated for 5/3/19 indicated Resident 193 was admitted from
a hospital and location different than was indicated on the admission record.
During an interview on 5/21/19 at 10:30 a.m., the Medical Records Director (MRD), stated the nurses enter
information into the electronic admission record upon a resident's arrival to the facility. The MRD stated that
documents received from a discharge location are used in order to audit the medical/clinical record within
72 hours of admission to the facility. The MRD confirmed the admitted from and admission location
information on the admission record was incorrect for Resident 193.
In an interview on 5/22/19 at 10 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated that the incorrect information in
Resident 193's admission record, would make it difficult to contact the previous care team for information or
coordination of care for Resident 193.
Review of a document on 5/21/19 titled, PROTOCOL on the electronic health record system showed that
the Licensed Nurse will activate the resident's record and enter all other information such as completion of
face sheet based on information gathered from discharging facility and that Medical Records will audit
accuracy of information within 72 hours after admission.

F 0842
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain medical records that were accurate for
three (Residents 25, 193 and 16) of three sampled residents when:
1. For Resident 25 the social services form titled, Danger to Self, Danger to Others Risk Assessment was
incorrectly dated and Resident 25 was identified by a different name.
Residents Affected - Some
2. For Resident 193, the admission Record did not reflect the correct location of the facility Resident 193
was admitted from.
3. For Resident 16, the Minimum Data Set (MDS- an assessment tool used to direct health care needs)
was coded inaccurately.
These failures resulted in inaccurate information being shared and had the potential for Residents 25, 193
and 16 to receive uncoordinated care.
Findings:
1. Review of Resident 25's admission Record on 5/19/19 indicated Resident 25 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses which included Schizoaffective Disorder (a mental disorder in which a
person experiences a combination of hallucinations or delusions and is also hallmarked by a mood disorder
such as depression or mania).
Continued review of Resident 25's Initial Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment tool used to direct
health care needs) dated 2/14/19 indicated that Resident 25 was cognitively intact meaning that she had
the ability to understand and be understood by others.
Further review of a document titled, Social Services-Danger to Self/Others Risk Assessment, dated on
2/7/18 showed that Resident 25 was identified by another name.
During an interview on 5/20/19 at 10:00 a.m., the Social Worker (SW 2) confirmed the date and name on
the risk assessment were incorrect and that the assessment was done on 2/7/19. SW 2 stated however that
she was describing Resident 25 and that the written notes on the assessment were accurate. SW 2 further
stated she understood the importance of accuracy of medical records.

Arrange for the provision of hospice services or assist the resident in transferring to a facility that will
arrange for the provision of hospice services.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the skilled nursing facility did not coordinate hospice care for two of two
sampled residents (Residents 24 and 31). Facility staff did not have a schedule for hospice nursing visits,
maintain complete copies of the hospice nursing visit notes in the clinical record, or document
communication/coordination with hospice services during their visits.
These failures resulted in the potential for lack of continuity of care for Residents 24 and 31 who were
receiving hospice services at the facility.
Findings:
1. Review of the clinical record on 5/19/19 of the document titled admission Record showed the facility
admitted Resident 24 on 2/4/19 with diagnoses which included malnutrition.
In an interview on 5/20/19 at 2:20 p.m., the facility's Director of Nursing (DON) stated that licensed staff
coordinated care with the hospice by checking to see if there were any new documented orders. The
hospice nurse asks facility staff if they have any concerns. The DON stated however that this information
should be documented in the clinical record.
In an interview on 5/21/19 at 9:25 a.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 3) stated there was no
documented hospice nurse visit schedule at the facility. LVN 3 stated the hospice nurses, Just come, and
they do not routinely leave a copy of their visit notes in the clinical record. LVN 3 then stated it would be
better if they left copies so facility staff could ensure they were, On the same page, and that provision of
coordinated and consistent care occurred. LVN 3 stated without a visit schedule or notes, the facility staff do
not know when hospice visited or what type of care was provided.
In an interview at on 5/21/19 at 10:12 a.m., the Social Worker (SW 1) stated the hospice agency
re-evaluates Resident 24's hospice status at each visit. SW 1 stated hospice Manages the case, and she
did not know when the hospice nurses made their visits to see Resident 24.
In an interview at on 5/21/19 at 11:36 a.m., the facility's Associate Director of Nursing (ADON) stated once
the hospice agreement and admission forms are signed, staff communicate with the hospice staff over the
phone, and that this communication is not documented in the clinical record.
In an interview at on 5/21/19 at 1:05 p.m., the hospice agency nurse (HPCC) stated hospice nursing staff
do not send a schedule for visits to the facility and do not consistently leave copies of their visit notes. The
HPCC stated the hospice agency focuses on the physical care of the resident while the facility focuses on
the psychological care.
In an interview on 5/22/19 at 11:16 a.m., the DON confirmed there was no documentation which showed
staff communicated with the hospice agency. The DON stated, even if there wasn't a change in condition or
new orders, the facility staff should document in their daily notes that hospice had made a visit on a
particular day and staff discussed with them the continued effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the current
plan of care.

showed Resident 24 had been seen by hospice on 3/27/19, 3/29/19 and 4/2/19. There was no
documentation in the clinical record which showed that the facility staff communicated or coordinated with
the hospice nurse.
Review of the document titled, Letter of Agreement for Routine and/or General Inpatient Levels of Care of a
Hospice Patient in a Skilled Nursing Facility,(an agreement signed between the hospice and the facility)
showed, The Medicare Conditions of Participation require that Hospice collaborate with Facility to develop a
coordinated Plan of Care and that All services provided in accordance with this agreement must be
documented.
2. Review of Resident 31's admission Record on 5/19/19 indicated Resident 31 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses which included protein-calorie malnutrition (a form of malnutrition that is
defined as a range of pathological conditions arising from lack of dietary protein and/or energy (calories) in
varying proportions).
Continued review of the clinical record showed that Resident 31 was admitted to the hospice care program
(care designed to give supportive care to people in the final phase of a terminal illness and focus on
comfort and quality of life, rather than a cure) with the terminal diagnosis of cardiomyopathy (refers to a
disease of the heart muscle which causes the heart muscle to become enlarged, thick or rigid) on 8/15/18.
Further review of Resident 31's medical record showed hospice nurse staff visits on 4/2/19, 5/9/19, 5/14/19,
and 5/20/19. There was no documentation of hospice visits in Resident 31's medical record.
During an interview on 5/21/19 at 10:10 a.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 1) stated they have a
hospice nurse visit schedule and it is usually hanging in the facility's chart room. LVN 1 was unable to show
the hospice visit schedule and further stated that the licensed staff communicates with hospice service via
phone. LVN 1 continued by stating she has called the hospice nurse due to Resident 31 running out of
medication, but she did not document the conversation in Resident 31's medical record. LVN 1 stated that
she, just wrote it on the 24-hour (nursing) report.
During an interview on 5/21/19 at 10:35 a.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 2) stated there is no
schedule for hospice nurse visits, but that hospice services calls the facility on the day they visit Resident
31. LVN 2 admitted the hospice nurse did not call yesterday, but she knew hospice services was at the
facility because LVN 2 saw the guy. LVN 2 also stated she did not document a discussion she had with the
hospice Nurse Practitioner (NP) concerning another resident on hospice which was a very important
concern but she did not document it, and that she should have charted it because it was important.
In an interview with the Hospice Patient Care Coordinator (HPCC) on 5/21/19 at 1:00 p.m., HPCC stated
there were no calendars for nurses' visits. HPCC further stated copies of visit notes are sometimes left in
the chart, sometimes not. The HPCC also stated hospice deals with the physical/medical side of the
resident and the facility deals with their mental side.
Review of the facility policy and procedure titled, Hospice Care, dated 4/1/13 indicated, The hospice and
the facility communicate, establish, and agree upon a coordinated plan of care which reflects the hospice
philosophy .
