F 0624 Prepare residents for a safe transfer or discharge from the nursing home. 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.

This required Resident #1 to be changed prior to treating the wound to prevent infection. Due to incontinence issues Resident #1 required frequent wound care during each shift. LVN B felt it was not safe to transfer home without home health care as 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 spontaneous healing or by lesser reconstructive options) on.

ADON was unable to provide discharge instructions or medications resident was sent home with. During an interview on 06/03/2024 at 2:00 p.m. with LVN E revealed Resident #1 had a stage four wound, muscle weakness in legs and was unsteady so would need transfer assistance from bed to chair. LVN E stated she felt it would be safe for resident to transfer home if he had home health as resident was incontinent of the stools, so whoever was caring for his wound would need to first clean him prior to any dressing changes. LVN E said if this did not occur it could lead to infection. During an interview on 06/03/2024 at 3:00 p.m. with Regional Nurse revealed Resident #1 was alert and oriented to person, place, time and situations , he was a Medicare patient with days were running out and decided to discharge with family support.
