F 0849 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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 facility failed to collaborate with hospice representatives and coordinate the hospice care planning process for each resident receiving hospice services, to ensure the quality of care for the resident, ensuring communication with the hospice medical director, the resident's attending physician, and others participating in the provision of care for 3 of 4 residents (Resident #27, Resident #35, and Resident # 15) reviewed for hospice services. The facility failed to maintain Resident #27's, Resident #35's, and Resident #15's hospice binder containing information related to hospice services provided for the resident such as the most recent plan of care, hospice election form, physician recertification, and hospice medication profile. These deficient practices could place residents who receive hospice services at risk of receiving inadequate end-of-life care due to a lack of documentation, coordination of care, and communication of resident needs. The findings included: 1. Record review of Resident #27's face sheet, dated 09/11/24 indicated he was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses which included Anxiety (a feeling of fear, dread, and uneasiness), dementia (the loss of cognitive functioning - thinking, remembering, and reasoning), hypertension (high blood pressure), and Depression(sadness). Record review of Resident 27's significant change in status MDS assessment, dated 08/22/24, indicated Resident #27 was sometimes understood and was sometimes understood by others. Resident #27 had short and long-term memory loss indicating she was cognitively impaired. The MDS indicated Resident #27 required total or extensive assistance with her ADLs. The MDS indicated she was receiving hospice service. Record review of Resident 27's Physician order dated 08/22/24 revealed Resident #27 was admitted to hospice with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease (a type of dementia). Record review of Resident #27's comprehensive care plan, dated 09/04/24, revealed Resident #27 was admitted to hospice for a diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease. The intervention was for staff and hospice to communicate the resident's needs and work together to meet her needs while following the physician's orders. Record review of Resident #27's hospice binder did not have the Physician certification of the terminal illness, care plan, medication list, or Hospice election form. During an interview on 09/10/24 at 2:42 p.m., LVN E looked for Resident #27's binder and only saw a folder which contained a sign-out sheet for her visits. LVN E said she did not look at the hospice folder because they had all the information she needed on her computer. She said the hospice company was responsible for the upkeep of their folders or binders. She said hospice should have all the information for the resident such as meds and plan of care in the resident's folders or binders.

F 0849 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Resident #27 on their service. She said the only thing Resident #27 had at the facility was a folder that contained a sign-in sheet when a staff member came to visit. She said she had planned to drop the binder off at the facility before now, but she had not. She said the folder should contain her certification to be on hospice, her medication list, and her plan of care. She said they had an IDT meeting on 08/29/24. She said they meet every 2 weeks. She said she did not know who was responsible for getting the bi-weekly notes, etc., to the facility. She said it must be the office because she had never brought any paperwork to the facility once admitted . She said it was important to have the binders at the facility to help the facility know why the resident was admitted and to ensure we were providing the care she needed. She said she would drop off her binder today (09/11/24). 2.Record review of Resident #35's face sheet, dated 09/11/24 indicated she was an [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses which included Congestive heart failure (CHF), or heart failure, (a long-term condition in which your heart can't pump blood well enough to meet your body's needs), and anxiety (an emotion that can feel like a state of inner turmoil, dread, or uneasiness).

Resident #35 BIMS score was a 15 indicating she was cognitively intact. The MDS indicated Resident #35 required assistance with his ADLs. The MDS indicated he was receiving hospice service. Record review of Resident 35's Physician order dated 04/05/24 revealed Resident #35 was admitted to hospice with a diagnosis of CHF. Record review of Resident #35's comprehensive care plan, the revision date of 07/18/24, revealed Resident #35 was admitted to hospice for a diagnosis of CHF. The intervention was for staff to treat the resident per physician orders and include the resident and her RP with any changes to her orders. Orientate the resident to her surroundings as much as possible and administer pain medications as ordered. Record review of Resident #35's hospice binder contained a recertification of terminal illness dated 07/22/23, the last IDT meeting and medication list was dated 07/19/24. Record review of Resident 35's Physician order per the facility dated 08/07/24 revealed Resident #35 had an order to cleanse stage 3 pressure wound to the left ischium with normal saline or wound cleanser, pat dry, apply collagen to the wound bed, apply calcium alginate, cover with silicone bordering dressing daily. The hospice medication list did not have this order. Record review of Resident 35's Physician order per the facility dated 09/06/24 revealed Resident #35 had an order to cleanse the wound to the left hip with normal saline or wound cleanser, pat dry, gently fill with packing strip, and cover with dry dressing daily.

F 0849 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some a little over a month and had not had a chance to check with each nursing facility to see their process. She said she would have someone bring the updated paperwork to the facility today (09/11/24). During an interview on 09/11/24 at 1:34 p.m., LVN A said hospice usually brings the binders when they admit. The binders should contain the DNR, meds covered by hospice, a face sheet, and a sign-in sheet so we would know who had visited the resident. She looked through Resident #27's folder and did not see any information except a sign-in sheet. She said those things were important to have in the resident's binder because they provided easy access to meds, code status, and who had visited the resident. LVN A looked through Resident #35's binder and saw the last IDG meeting and orders were dated 7/19/24. She said she was not aware of any other place Resident #35's information could be except in her binder. She said the hospice companies were responsible for updating their binders. During an interview on 09/11/24 at 3:47 p.m., the ADON said the hospice companies were responsible for ensuring the hospice documents were being brought to the facility and were the most recent. The ADON said not having the most updated hospice documents at the facility could cause a resident to miss certain orders or treatments. During an interview on 09/11/24 at 4:11 p.m., the DON said she expected the hospice documents to be at the facility with the most recent plan of care and current medication orders. The DON said the failure to ensure those documents were at the facility was due to a lack of communication with the facility and the hospice companies. She said she was not aware of any hospice EMR access. The DON said it was the responsibility of the hospice company to ensure their documents were being brought to the facility timely and then it was the facility's responsibility to ensure that was being completed. The DON said there had not been any monitoring in place to ensure the hospice documents were being brought to the facility. She said the hospice binders help with medication changes and correlate care. During an interview on 09/11/24 at 4:48 p.m., the Administrator said it was the facility's responsibility to ensure all hospice documents were up to date. He said the ADON and DON were the overseers of the process. He said the books should be updated because they reflect the care the resident should be receiving. The Administrator said not having the most updated hospice documents including the plan of care with the current medication record, could cause the hospice company to send the wrong medication. Therefore, the residents could receive the wrong medication and cause a medication error. 3. Record review of Resident #15's face sheet dated 09/11/24, indicated a [AGE] year-old female who admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included dementia (memory loss) with agitation, senile degeneration of brain (mental deterioration), essential hypertension (high blood pressure), and glaucoma (a group of eye condition that causes blindness).
