Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide and document sufficient preparation to ensure safe
and orderly discharge from the facility for one resident (Resident #1) of five residents reviewed for
discharge.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure Resident #1's home health and wound care services were confirmed and in
place prior to discharge.
These failures could place residents at risk of being discharged without preparation, causing a disruption in
their care and place the residents at risk for their needs not being met.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #1's Face Sheet, dated 06/03/2024, revealed a [AGE] year-old male originally admitted
on [DATE], re-admitted on [DATE], and discharged on 05/30/2024 with diagnoses that included:
osteomyelitis of vertebra (the most common form of vertebral infection), sacral and sacrococcygeal region,
Brown-Sequard syndrome (is a rare neurological condition characterized by a lesion in the spinal cord
which results in weakness or paralysis on one side of the body and a loss of sensation on the opposite
side), sepsis (a serious condition in which the body responds improperly to an infection), muscle weakness,
lack of coordination, unsteadiness on feet, type two diabetes mellitus without complications, neuromuscular
dysfunction of the bladder.
Review of Resident #1's Care Plan, dated 05/31/2024, revealed Resident #1 has Sacral Stage 4 with
slough and/or eschar present on admission, Resident #1 has a suprapubic catheter placed, Resident #1
has bowel incontinence immobility and paralysis
Review of Resident #1's discharge MDS assessment, dated 05/30/2024, revealed resident #1's BIMS was
noted as 15, which indicates the resident's cognition was intact. Resident #1 functional status documented
on discharge MDS is not completed.
During an interview on 06/02/2024 at 10:50 a.m. with SW revealed Resident #1's discharge was resident
initiated and planned. Resident #1 was to the home on [DATE] and would transfer from home to another
rehabilitation facility on 06/01/2024. SW stated once residents decide to discharge will ask resident and/or
family if they require home health services and what equipment is at home, if residents require additional
items for home will place referral. In this case resident refused home health, so no order or referral was
provided for Resident #1 due to family member refusal of home health services. Social worker could not
provide documentation of refusal.

Resident #1 required constant care and assistance times two to transfer from bed to chair. Wound care
training was provided once to family when they came to visit at that time resident had wound vac (an
alternative method of wound management, which uses the negative pressure to prepare the wound for
