safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure that residents who require dialysis receive such
services, consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan,

since 2018 and her last dialysis day was [DATE]. He stated on [DATE] she was not able to be dialyzed
because her access port was swollen. He stated they thought possibly a needle got dislodged in the fistula
access port and said he spoke to FM P and was told FM P was going to take Resident #1 to the hospital.
He stated [The Nursing Facility] came to pick her up within 15 minutes and he thought she was being taken
to the hospital.
In an interview on [DATE] at 12:06 pm, the Dialysis Clinic Manager stated Resident #1 was a dialysis
patient with them for a long time and on [DATE] she was not dialyzed because she needed a catheter
replacement because the fistula port was not accessible. She stated FM P said she would take Resident #1
to the hospital to replace the permacath, then heard [The Nursing Facility] would pick her up. She stated the
Dialysis Nurse spoke to [The Nursing Facility] staff to make them aware of the plan for her to go back to the
hospital for the permacath replacement, per Resident #1's Nephrologist Doctor's order that was on the
communication form.
In an interview on [DATE] at 12:39 pm, the Vascular Center Representative stated Resident #1 was last
seen in their office in 2023. He stated when a resident was at a nursing facility, they had to have a contract
in place first before they could be seen by the Vascular Doctor. He stated they sent a contract to [The
Nursing Facility] but they did not sign it and sent their own contract that was currently being reviewed by
their legal department. He stated he called [The Dialysis] center on [DATE] to notify them they could not
see Resident #1 and was informed she had already been sent to the hospital. He stated he was not sure
who he spoke to [This Nursing Facility] but advised them they needed to either wait for the legal department
to review their contract or take Resident #1 to the hospital.
In an interview on [DATE] at 1:03 pm, DON in training I stated she was not sure what time Resident #1 got
back to the facility on [DATE] and she did not do her vital signs. She stated the outcome of not checking the
resident's vital signs varied and it depended on each resident's health condition and said she did not know
what could happen to a resident if their vital signs were not checked and documented, it was just a wide
variety of what if's.
In an interview on [DATE] at 1:41 pm, FM P stated on [DATE] the Dialysis Nurse called her at 12:02 pm
saying her fistula access port was swollen and she could not be dialyzed. She stated the Dialysis Nurse
told her Resident #1 needed to be sent to the hospital and at 12:07 pm she called SW G to let her know
she needed to be picked up and taken to the hospital. She stated SW G said she would let the ADON, and
the DON know and get her picked up. She stated at 12:40 pm she spoke to the DON in training I about
sending Resident #1 to the hospital. She stated DON in training I said she did not want to send Resident #1
to the hospital and wanted to send her to her vascular Doctor instead. She stated DON in training I said
they were going to make an appointment and at 2:59 pm she received a call that Resident #1 was
unresponsive. She stated the DON in training said she was going to get Resident #1 in to see Vascular
Doctor then next thing she knew; Resident #1 had no pulse or heartbeat when they found her. She stated

In an interview on [DATE] at 1:52 pm, LVN A stated on [DATE] she received Resident #1's dialysis binder
and her communication form said the patient did not get dialyzed today and her FM P was sending
Resident #1 to the hospital, for a Permacath placement. She stated the reason Resident #1 did not go to
the hospital was because one of the managers was working on getting Resident #1 a Vascular
appointment. She stated based on her observation Resident #1 did not look like she needed or warranted
going to the hospital. She stated they were waiting for the Vascular office to get back with them on an
appointment. She stated the dialysis center did not send Resident #1 to the hospital because they were
giving them an option to get a Vascular Doctor appointment or send the resident to the hospital. She stated
she spoke to Resident #1's NP and she stated she was not dialyzed, and she said to monitor Resident #1
for change in condition and for fluid overload. She stated her fistula port did not look bad. She stated her
usual timeframe for checking dialysis patient's vitals were as soon as the resident came back to this facility.
She stated on [DATE], Resident #1's vitals were stable, and she wrote them down on her a sheet of paper.
She stated she was not sure where she placed her vitals and stated if the vital signs were not checked and
documented they would not know if there were any abnormalities. She stated for Resident #1's change in
condition form, she did not have the vitals she took at 1:30 pm and used the early morning 7:43 am vitals.
She stated Resident #1 returned to the facility at 1:30 pm, she saw Resident #1 at 1:45 pm, and at 2:30 pm
she was nonresponsive. She stated she had a 1:1 training today ([DATE]) by the DON, HR, and the ADON
on documenting timely when the residents return to the facility and to call the dialysis for clarification. She
said when she looked at Resident #1's communication form and spoke to Van Driver I she was told she was
not dialyzed. She stated the purpose of the dialysis treatment was to get the impurities out of their blood.
She stated it was important for the nurses to check the resident's vitals due to any change in their body
could cause the resident to decline causing them to have a change in condition from their normal baseline.
Residents Affected - Few
In an interview on [DATE] at 2:18 pm, the DON stated vital sign checks of the dialysis residents were
checked after dialysis and depended on the resident's circumstances. She stated there was not a
scheduled time the nurses needed to check the resident's vitals, but she expected them to be checked
within 1 hour of returning to this facility. She stated LVN A did Resident #1's vitals between 1:30 and 2:30
pm and would follow up once she reviewed the EMR. She stated FM P called them to pick up Resident #1
and they called dialysis and confirmed the Dialysis Nurse said to seek getting a Vascular Doctor's
appointment or hospital transfer. She stated there was a process that they first called the Vascular office
and talked to [The Vascular office representative]. She stated she was not sure about a contract needing to
be signed before Resident #1 could be scheduled to the Vascular office. She stated FM P was aware of
their plans for Resident #1 to get a doctor's appointment and told them the name of the vascular doctor.
She stated ideally, they liked to document vitals into the EMR system after they were taken which was why
they educated LVN A on documentation. She stated Resident #1's [DATE] Change in condition at 2:35 pm
SBAR form had her vitals from [DATE] at 7:43 am because the SBAR prefilled what the last vitals on file
were. She stated not documenting resident's vitals and nurses notes depended on the resident and the
circumstances as to how it could affect the residents. She stated the nurse on duty was responsible for their
own documentation and nurse managers.
In an interview on [DATE]/ at 3:31 pm, the Administrator stated he heard Resident #1 went to dialysis and
returned earlier than normal. He stated Resident #1 returned to this facility around 1:30 pm. He stated then
she had a code blue and the nurse's provided CPR, and the paramedics picked her up and took her to the
hospital. He stated he was not aware LVN A wrote Resident #1' vitals on a sheet of paper that she

misplaced. He stated often the nurses were pulled in too many directions from staff and residents, and as
far as he was aware she was stable. He stated not being aware of any contracts given to the Vascular
Office and was not aware she needed to go to the hospital for a permacath placement. He stated it did not
seem the Dialysis Center saw a need for her to go to the hospital and thought the Dialysis Center used
hospital as a word of choice. He stated they had an AD HOC meeting the first week of September with the
Medical Director, the DON, the ADON, and himself and was not sure what they went over. He stated he
was not sure if LVN A not documenting in the EMR about Resident #1's change in condition was discussed
but nurse management addressed that. He stated Nurse management was responsible for ensuring vital
signs and documentation were completed. He stated he heard FM P came to the facility on Labor Day
([DATE]) and believed they asked questions about the resident not sure on the specifics. He stated he
would check to see if they did a grievance about Resident #1.
In an interview on [DATE] at 4:23 pm, the Medical Director stated he was also Resident #1's Facility Doctor.
He stated Resident #1 was a dialysis patient who had a cardiac arrest late last month and she passed
away. He stated he was not sure what her cause of death was and stated there were no issues with how
the nursing staff responded when Resident #1 had a change in condition. He stated he had an on-call NP
who was contacted on [DATE] about Resident #1's change in condition. He stated he was not sure of the
day and time of what the nursing department did and the HHSC Surveyor needed to talk to the nursing
department. He stated the last QA meeting was last month he attended but did not recall anything about
Resident #1's incident and documentation of resident's vital signs. He stated generally the resident's vitals
were done before the resident was transported to and from dialysis. He stated vital signs were of
importance to understand the clinical condition of the patient. He stated he was not going to speak to what
the Dialysis communication form said to take Resident #1 to the hospital for a permacath placement and
would have to refer the HHSC Surveyor to nurse management.
In an interview on [DATE] at 4:43 pm, LVN J stated she cared for Resident #1 on [DATE] and she was fine
and had increased confusion. She stated she did not work [DATE] and when she returned, she heard
Resident #1 passed away. She stated she heard Resident #1 was foaming from her mouth and they rushed
to do CPR.
In an interview on [DATE] at 5:25 pm, the DON stated she wanted to ensure the HHSC Surveyor had the
timeline right. She stated Resident #1 went to dialysis on [DATE] around 11:00 am and at 12:00 pm they
received a call from FM P that she needed to be picked up from dialysis. She[TRUNCATED]

In an interview on [DATE] at 10:55 am, LVN A stated on [DATE] she checked Resident #1's dialysis port
around 11:00 am or 11:30 am. She stated she did not see anything abnormal with her dialysis access site
and her vitals were checked and were within normal limits. She stated she was her normal baseline when
she left the dialysis center and then FM P called the DON in training to have Resident #1 pick her up
because she was not able to be dialyzed. She stated Resident #1 returned around 1:39 pm and her access
site was checked, and the resident stated she felt ok and was not in any pain. She stated Resident #1 was
sitting in her wheelchair, watching tv, then around 2:30 pm she heard the code blue. She stated Resident
#1's chest was not rising, she had no pulse, and was full code so they transferred her from her wheelchair
to the floor. She stated the paramedics came and CPR efforts continued and then she had a pulse. She
stated her Doctor and FM P were notified and last she was told was that she was on a ventilator. She
stated the reason why her vitals at 1:45 pm were not in Resident #1's EMR was because she misplaced the
paper, she wrote the vitals on because she just got busy.
In an interview on [DATE] at 1:03 pm, the DON in training I stated the outcome of not checking the

In an interview on [DATE] at 10:51 am, the DON stated Resident #1's vital signs were checked before and
after she was sent to dialysis and would follow up with HHSC Surveyor to provide the documentation. She
stated dialysis said they did not do her vital signs because she was not treated on [DATE] and stated if they
missed dialysis [This Facility] still needed their vital signs done because there was a change in their dialysis
treatment plan. She stated LVN A had 1:1 counseling covering the documentation components in EMR
system. She stated when they called the Dialysis Nurse to confirm what FM P said Resident #1 was not
dialyzed and needed to go to the Vascular Doctor or hospital for permacath replacement. She stated she
was not sure why Resident #1's vitals were not documented before and after dialysis in the EMR system
and maybe LVN A misplaced the sheet of paper during the change of shift on [DATE].
In an interview on [DATE] at 10:32 am, Dialysis Nurse stated Resident #1 had been on dialysis services for
a long time and at times she pulled out her catheter line. He stated in the past year FM P usually took
Resident #1 to the hospital emergency room to get a catheter replacement. He stated No, no, no [The
Nursing Facility] did not need to schedule her a vascular appointment and was not sure where that came
from. He called Resident #1's Nephrologist, he wanted her to go to the hospital for the catheter placement
which was what was also on the dialysis communication form on [DATE].
In an interview on [DATE] at 12:34 pm, LVN A stated she was trained this week on ensuring the resident's
vital signs and access ports were checked and that head-to-toe assessments were completed prior to and
post dialysis. She stated she was trained on checking their access site ask the resident how they felt and
reviewing the communication form. She stated they needed to document their findings of any abnormalities
and communicate that to the Doctor, family, and DON. She stated she was trained on making sure they
were on the same page with the dialysis center and to know the plan of care to provide adequate care. She
stated she was trained yesterday [DATE] on documentation of assessments, vitals, checking dialysis
access sites and looking at how the resident was doing. And was trained on ensuring the resident's vitals
were on the dialysis communication form and in the facility's EMR. She stated she was not sure why she
did not put Resident #1's vitals into the EMR before and after dialysis and maybe she was in a rush. She
stated on [DATE] she told Resident #1's Doctor she did not dialyze this day but did not mention what the
dialysis communication form said about going to the hospital. She stated the importance doing the
resident's vital signs was to get a baseline of the resident to see if they had a change in condition. She
stated the importance of documenting was to ensure the resident was getting the proper plan of care and
alert all nursing about the resident.
In an interview on [DATE] at 2:17 pm, the Administrator stated the Dialysis Communication Form was not a
doctor's order and his facility nurse did call the Dialysis Center to understand what was needed. He stated
things happened when it came to LVN A misplacing the sheet with Resident #1's vital signs on [DATE] and
was not sure what happened to the sheet. He stated in an ideal world she should have documented the
vital signs in the EMR, but she could have got stopped to help pass out trays or answer the phone. He
stated LVN A was not going to stop taking care of the resident's if she needed to document something. He
stated it was concerning that Resident #1 vitals were not entered on [DATE] and seven days later Resident
#1 passed away. He stated although LVN A failed to document Resident #1's vital signs in the EMR did not
mean she did not check her vitals. He stated not putting documentation in the EMR and Resident #1 having
a change in condition and coding was not a related. He stated he had to believe what his DON and nurses
said that her vital signs were checked at 1:30 pm despite not having any documentation in the EMR. He
stated his expectations for dialysis residents was whatever the standard of practices was and added the
nurse leadership team ensured the nursing department did all they were supposed to do for each resident.
