was on dialysis, they have their set date, they received their morning care and medications prior to dialysis,
they had their meal, waited for transportation, and during this time they had their vital signs checked and
recorded on the dialysis form. She said the form was provided to the transportation service as well as with
the resident, and the resident was transported to the dialysis center. She said those that get in house
dialysis were usually taken to the dialysis center by the CNA. Record review of the facility's Dialysis Hemodialysis policy, undated, read in part .2. The facility staff will participate in ongoing communication
with the dialysis center by using the Dialysis Communication Form which is filed in the resident's medical
record.
