Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room,
etc.) that affect the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to immediately notify the resident's physician when there
was a significant change in the resident's physical, mental, or psychosocial status (that is, a deterioration in
health, mental or psychosocial status in either life threatening conditions or clinical complications) for 1
(Resident #21) of 3 residents reviewed for change in condition.
The facility failed to immediately notify Resident #21's physician before 11/29/23 at 8:30am when Resident
#21's radiology report dated 11/28/23 at 5:51pm reflected that Resident #21 had a displaced fracture of her
left femur neck (top of the thigh bone at the hip) that occurred when Resident #21 fell in the facility's dining
room three days before the x-ray was completed on 11/28/23.
On 9/18/24 at 2:06pm an Immediate Jeopardy was identified. While the Immediate Jeopardy was removed
on 9/20/24 at 1:35pm, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolated with a severity of no
actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that was not Immediate Jeopardy due to the facility
continuing to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of their plan of removal.
These failures could place residents at risk of a delay in treatment, decline in physical, mental, and/or
psychosocial status, hospitalization, and even death.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #21's face sheet reflected an [AGE] year-old female that was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with a primary diagnosis of encounter for palliative care (care focused on improving
quality of life for people with serious illnesses). Other pertinent diagnoses included congestive heart failure
(the heart didn't pump blood effectively and could cause fluid buildup in the lungs), dementia (loss of
memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities severe enough to interfere with daily life),
inflammatory polyneuropathy (an auto immune attack on the peripheral nerves that can cause progressive
muscle weakness, numbness, loss of reflexes, and pain or tingling in the arms, hands, legs, and feet),
major depressive disorder, chronic kidney disease-stage 3 (mild to moderate kidney damage), dyspnea
(shortness of breath), edema (swelling), muscle weakness, and muscle atrophy (wasting or loss of muscle
tissue). There were no diagnoses related to liver damage or liver failure.
Record review of Resident #21's admission MDS dated [DATE] reflected she had a BIMS score of 00 which
indicated she had severe cognitive impairment.
Record review of Resident #21's care plan dated 10/27/23 with revisions on 10/30/23, 11/29/23 and

In a phone interview on 9/12/24 at 10:05am Resident #21's family member stated that Resident #21 had a
history of breast cancer and colon cancer but had received PET (Positron emission tomography) scans for
at least the last 3 to 5 years prior to her admission to the facility that showed no cancer anywhere. Resident
#21's family member stated that Resident #21 did not have any history of liver damage or liver failure and
that Resident #21's primary care physician prior to going on hospice had told Resident #21 and her family
member that her kidney disease was stable. Resident #21's family member stated that the reason Resident
#21 went into the facility with hospice care was because Resident #21's dementia had progressed to the
point that the family member could not take care of her at home anymore. Resident #21's family member
stated that Resident #21 went back to the family member's house on 11/30/23 with hospice services
because the emergency room physician and the surgeon told the family member that surgery for Resident
#21's left hip fracture was not an option due to the resident now having kidney and liver failure. Resident
#21 passed away at home on [DATE].
Record review of Resident #21's progress notes section in the facility's PCC system reflected an entry
dated 11/25/23 at 2:38pm by RN I that stated, Resident stood up on her own out of her wheelchair in dining
room, did not take any steps but lost her balance and CNA was standing near resident and resident went to
the floor, landed on her left side, CNA who witnessed the fall cradled residents head and resident did not hit
her head or face on the floor Resident checked for injuries, denies

Resident taken to her room and vital signs taken and head to toe assessment completed. [sic]
Record review of the facility's PCC assessments page for Resident #21 reflected an eINTERACT Change
in Condition Evaluation that was entered on 11/25/23 in reference to Resident #21's fall in the facility's
dining room on the same date that stated in part, Resident #21 had no complaints of pain. Resident [#21]
had a witnessed fall with neuro checks intact, moves all extremities, and no s/s of injuries, skin checked for
discoloration none noted at this time [sic]. This document reflected that the physician was notified of
Resident #21's fall on 11/25/23 at 2:45pm and the physician's recommendation was to refer Resident #21
for a physical therapy evaluation
In an interview on 9/11/24 at 3:50pm, the DON stated, We did not do x-rays at the time [of the fall] because
when I looked at the camera, she was self-propelling in the dining room. She was shaking a doorknob and
kind of slid out of her chair onto the floor. She did not actually stand and fall. She did not have any bruising
at that time. She was being medicated for pain on the 25th (November 2023) because she was post fall and
couldn't tell us I have pain here. She just had signs and symptoms of pain. We got an x-ray on the 28th. I
don't remember why or what her signs and symptoms were. With hospice patients, hospice won't order
x-rays, so we contacted our doctor instead of the hospice physician and that's why there was a delay from
the complaint of pain on the 27th to the order on the 28th (of November 2023)
In an interview on 9/13/24 at 12:48pm, CNA M stated, On 11/25/23, Resident #21 was in the dining room
toward the kitchen washroom area. I was passing by taking people out of the dining room. I saw her getting
up off the wheelchair and standing. Once I saw her taking some steps and was unbalanced, I knew she
was going to fall so I sprinted over there to try to catch her. It was kind of a slow fall. She was not quite on
the floor when I got to her, so I made sure she did not hit her head. When she was on the floor, she was
kind of on her left side. Two other people saw it as well and came in to assist me to get her back to her
chair. She said she was in pain after that. I can't remember if she said her arm or her hip, but she was
saying, ow- it hurts, it hurts. She was just kind of whimpering and saying she hurt when she was assisted
back into the wheelchair.
Record review of Resident #21's MAR dated November 2023 reflected that Resident #21 had an order for
Tramadol HCl (a pain medication) oral tablet 50mg to be given by mouth every six hours as needed for
pain. Resident #21 did not have any other medications ordered for pain relief. Resident #21 was given
Tramadol 50mg on 11/25/23 at 6:25pm for generalized pain at level 5 out of 10 (10 being the worst pain),
11/26/23 at 3:53pm for generalized pain at level 2 out of 10, and 11/26/23 at 10:00pm for generalized pain
at level 5 out of 10. On 11/27/23 at 5:44am, LVN J gave Resident #21 Tramadol 50mg for left shoulder and
left leg pain at level 10 out of 10.
Record review of Resident #21's progress notes page dated 11/6/23 to 12/6/23, assessments page dated
10/27/23 to 11/29/23 in the facility's PCC system and a telephone interview of LVN J on 9/16/24 at 11:48am
reflected that Resident #21's physician was not notified of her significant increase in pain on 11/27/23 by
LVN J at the time she medicated Resident #21, nor any other time that day. LVN J stated she did not recall
why she did not notify the doctor when Resident #21 complained of a 10 out of 10 pain level. LVN J stated if
someone fell, she would do range of motion and check them out; if the resident had complained of pain
during that, LVN J stated she would have notified the doctor and gotten an x-ray. LVN J stated when an
x-ray was done, the nurse would have had to look for the results and that there was no flag or anything to
let the nurse know that the results were posted. LVN J stated if she was going off shift, she would pass it on
to the next shift to look for the results.

LVN J stated they would not be notified by the radiology company. LVN J stated sometimes the x-ray
technician would let them know if something did not look right and to keep an eye out for the report. LVN J
stated if she pulled up an x-ray report and something looked abnormal or bad, she would notify the
physician right away- as soon as she saw the result. LVN J stated she did not know if anyone at the facility
got notified automatically of results. LVN J stated that she worked at the facility until March 2024 and had
been there for about a year. LVN J stated they discussed notification of changes almost every day and had
once a month in-services on various topics.
Record review of Resident #21's Physician Orders reflected a left shoulder and hip/pelvis x-ray ordered by
RN K on 11/28/23 at 11:30am.
Record review of Resident #21's printable view progress notes dated 11/29/23 at 8:34am reflected an entry
by RN I that stated, Xray report from Xray of 11/28/23 reviewed and reported to medical provider left
shoulder x ray showed no acute fracture, RP states she will think about the situation, but shows grossly
displaced femoral neck fracture of left hip, acute fracture. Medical provider recommends send resident too
[sic] ER (Emergency Room) for evaluation of left hip fracture. DON notified. And RP notified and will think
about whether she wants notify Nurse when she makes a decision on sending the resident sent out to ER,
states she will call back to notify this facility. Call out to the hospice company to notify of positive left hip
fracture, left msg to have hospice return my call. [sic]
Record review of the facility's PCC assessments page for Resident #21 reflected an unsigned eINTERACT
Change in Condition Evaluation that was dated 11/29/23 and revealed the situation being reported was
Trauma (fall related or other) and that Resident #21 had new pain, left hip pain/left iliac crest (rear)/Left
trochanter (hip) and intensity of pain 2 of 10. In the area for observation and evaluation summary, the
author documented, Results of x ray to hip positive for Grossly displaced femoral neck fracture of left hip
with no discoloration to area. Resident does have pain on left hip, with pain medication. Medical provider
notified and recommends to send resident out to ER for evaluation, DON notified of Results of left hip X
RAY and RP notified states since resident is hospice, she will need to decide whether she wishes to send
resident out to ER, will notify nurses of her decision [sic]. This document also stated that Resident #21's
physician was notified on 11/29/23 at 8:40am and the physician recommended Resident #21 be taken by
non-emergent transfer ambulance for evaluation of left hip fracture to the ER.
In a telephone interview on 9/13/24 at 10:21am a supervisor for the facility's contracted radiology company
stated that the result of the left shoulder and hip/pelvis x-ray was automatically delivered by email to the
facility's DON and administrator on 11/28/23 at 5:51pm. The supervisor stated that the result was also
automatically faxed to the facility's fax number on record on 11/28/23 at 5:51pm, but that it failed. The
supervisor stated there was no documentation that the radiology company called the facility to report the
significant findings of the x-ray.
In an interview on 9/11/23 at 3:56pm the DON stated, If there is a significant finding for an x-ray, I receive
an email and they call the facility within, I think, 24 hours. I received the email at 5:51pm (on 11/28/23).
Even if I was gone for the day, I would check my email from home. I may have been out with the flu or
COVID at that time, but I remember calling the facility that evening. I can't say why the physician was not
notified until 8:30 the next morning or why the nurse didn't document anything. The physician and RP
should have been notified that evening. A lot of the longer tenure nurses will want to notify the hospice
doctor before the facility doctor because they are hospice, but we don't have documentation of that either. If
the physician and RP are not notified, it could

lead to negative outcomes including untreated pain or worsening of a fracture. The physician and RP
should be notified immediately when critical results are received. The DON did not state who she talked to
when she called the facility on 11/28/23 about the x-ray results.
In a telephone interview on 9/13/24 at 11:00am the MD stated he would expect the doctor or nurse
practioner to be notified of any critical/significant results with 30-45 minutes. The MD stated he did not know
if it would have made a difference if he had been notified of Resident #21's fractured femur the evening
before. The MD stated, if for some reason the facility was unable to contact either the NP or himself, they
should just go ahead and send the resident out to the ER. The MD stated that when Resident #21 was
treated for 10 of 10 pain specifically to her left leg and shoulder on 11/27/23 following a fall on her left side
on 11/25/23, he or the NP should have been notified. The MD stated, What we know of hip fractures in
older adults, we need to intervene sooner rather than later because being in bed for three days, especially if
they are in pain and probably not eating or drinking well, it can lead to multi organ failure. If we had known
about the fracture and intervened earlier, she may have lived a little longer. The MD stated that it was
ultimately a hospice decision to x-ray a hospice patient, but if she had not been a hospice patient, it would
have been prudent to do an x-ray at the time of the fall.
In an interview on 9/13/24 at 1:11pm the ADON stated for critical findings, the lab or radiology would call
the facility and would ask for the nurse of that specific resident. The nurse would talk to them and get the
results. After the nurse received the critical or significant finding information, he/she would then call the
doctor and see if there were any new orders. The ADON stated, We call the doctor immediately when we
have critical results. The ADON stated, That I know of there isn't a specific policy in writing about when to
notify the doctor of critical results.
In an interview on 9/16/24 at 10:15am, CNA B stated that Resident #21 was on pain meds and would
complain of pain mostly in the mornings and later in the day. CNA B stated when Resident #21 was first
admitted she was good until the fall on 11/10/23 . After that fall, she got more confused and complained of
more pain. I know she was always getting in and out of her chair. CNA B stated if a resident had a bad fall
or had to be assessed by physical therapy, the CNAs would not get the resident out of bed until physical
therapy saw and assessed them. CNA B stated, I don't recall her (Resident #21) falling at all when I worked
on 11/27/23 or 11/28/23 and it was not reported to me that she fell any time after 11/25/23. After the fall,
family was here more often than before. I don't think she was eating very well that week. There's nothing
more that I can recall.
In an interview on 9/16/24 at 11:12am, RN K stated she kind of remembered Resident #21 but did not
remember anything specific about the week after Resident #21 fell on [DATE]. RN K stated if she had a
resident that had fallen two days prior and then started complaining of a significant increase in pain, she
would notify the NP or the doctor to advise them of the increase in pain on the side the resident had fallen
on two days before. RN K stated if it was a hospice patient, she would notify the facility (primary) doctor or
NP, then hospice. RN K stated in most cases, she would call the facility attending and then let hospice know
that she notified the primary doctor. RN K stated if there was an abnormal finding on an x-ray, the radiology
company posted the results on the website. RN K stated she did not think the facility got called if there were
significant findings. RN K stated she thought that once the results got posted, the facility doctor looked at
the results and it went from there. RN K stated she did not recall any time when the DON or ADON went to
her and said that there was an abnormal x-ray result and for her to notify the physician. RN K stated if the
nurse found something (a significant finding) before the doctor did, then the nurse would call the doctor
immediately. RN K stated if the nurse was not able to contact the doctor, he/she was to contact the DON to

her know so that she could follow up. RN K stated the x-ray technician would not tell the nurse if they saw
something abnormal on the x-ray. RN K stated that sometimes x-rays would result right away, but
sometimes they took a very long time.
In an interview on 9/16/24 at 12:24pm, the DON stated, At that time when abnormal or critical x-rays were
received, the facility would receive a phone call with the results. I would also get an email for significant
findings. Normally, if I wasn't at the facility, I would call to make sure the nurse knew of the findings. Let's
say I didn't see the email or get the email; the x-ray people would call the facility and we could get into the
portal and print out the x-ray results. X-ray will call, but sometimes they don't call until the next day. If it was
the next day, it was like a follow up call when they'd ask if we saw it. If the facility is notified of an abnormal
result (for hospice) it would depend on the nurse whether the primary physician or hospice would get
notified first, but they would both be notified. The nurse would need to notify the doctor as soon as they
found out about it. In reference to (Resident #21's) x-ray result, I got the email on 11/28/23 at 5:51pm. I was
not here (at the facility) at the time, and I don't remember if I called the facility or not. The DON stated that
the floor nurse would have had to go into the portal to see if the x-ray result was there. The PCC system did
not flag or alert when an x-ray was resulted, the nurse would have to check. The DON stated if the x-ray
was not resulted during the day shift, the day shift nurse would pass on to the night shift nurse to look out
for the result. If for some reason the night shift nurse did not get the result, then the day shift nurse would
follow up the next morning. The DON stated, In general, if there was a critical or significant finding, the
physician should have been notified right away. Notification 15 hours later is generally not acceptable. There
may be times when that would be ok, but in this particular case, no. The DON stated, She (Resident #21)
wasn't x-rayed the day of the fall because she didn't display any signs or symptoms of pain; not even when
they were getting her off the floor initially. If she had a significant increase in pain 2 days post fall, it would
warrant a notification to the doctor. The DON stated it was important to notify the physician of any
significant change in condition or results of diagnostics so that they could provide the best quality of care
for the resident. The DON stated if the physician was not notified of changes, the resident's quality of care
could have been affected, the resident may not have gotten needed treatment, services, or medication, the
resident could have been hospitalized , or it could have even led to death. The DON stated, The policy does
not have a specific time frame for notification. The DON stated when a physician was notified of results or a
change of condition, documentation included dated and time of notification of provider and RP and any new
orders.
In an interview on 9/16/24 at 2:14pm the Admin stated, I do get the emails that say significant findings from
radiology. If I see that email come through, I contact the DON and make sure she saw it and ask what it is
about. If it is a night or weekend, I will still talk to the DON about it, and she will contact facility staff. The
Admin stated, If there are significant or critical findings on any diagnostics, the physician should be notified
in a timely manner- ASAP. It shouldn't be more than 2 hours once the nurse finds out that they try to notify
the physician. 15 hours is not an acceptable time frame. The Admin stated he did not recall seeing a
timeframe on the policy. The Admin stated the physician should always be notified if a resident complained
of a significant increase in pain. The Admin stated it was important to notify the physician right away for
changes in condition so that they could plan the next steps in the resident's care. The Admin stated if they
did not notify the physician, the resident may not receive the appropriate care, they could have an adverse
effect, they could be hospitalized , or it could lead to death.
In a phone interview on 9/18/24 at 10:56am LVN L stated he worked PRN (as needed) at the facility, usually

been a while since he last worked there and he could not recall what date he worked there last. LVN L
stated he remembered Resident #21's name but did not remember anything specific about her. LVN L
stated if an x-ray was done, the results may have been faxed to the facility. LVN L stated that he thought
had seen a couple of chest x rays come through on the fax before but did not recall that anyone got any
significant x-ray results while he was on shift. LVN L stated if he ordered an x-ray and had not received a
result after about a couple of hours, he would call the x-ray place and ask about it. LVN L stated that x-ray
results could go straight to the resident's profile now. LVN L stated they could go into the results tab and
see if the x-ray was resulted. LVN L stated there was not a pop up or anything to remind you to go look at
the result. LVN L stated if he got a significant finding, he would call the doctor to let them know as soon as
he got the result. LVN L stated in his orientation they went over the things you were supposed to notify the
physician for. LVN L stated, I don't remember them saying when specifically, the doctor should be notified
after receiving the results. LVN L stated if an x-ray was done on his shift and he had not gotten the result
yet, he, as the off going nurse, reported it to the oncoming nurse who would keep an eye out for the result.
LVN L stated there was also a piece of paper that stuff was written on to pass along to the next shift.
In an interview on 9/18/24 at 2:10pm the DON stated that she never opened the email from the radiology
company on 11/28/23. The DON provided a copy of the radiology company's print out of the details of
Resident #21's x-ray that was done on 11/28/23. The print-out reflected that a SIGNIFICANT report was
emailed to the DON and the Admin on 11/28/23 at 5:51pm. This print-out also reflected that a text message
was sent to a phone number and a fax was sent to the facility's fax number with the x-ray findings on
11/28/23 at 5:51pm. The DON and the Admin stated that the fax number that the radiology company had
was not the facility's fax number and they did not know why the radiology company had that number. The
DON and the Admin also stated that they did not know who the phone number belonged to that the text
message was sent to. An internet search on 9/20/24 revealed the fax number that the radiology company
sent the result to had been associated with this facility and the phone number that the text message was
sent to belonged to the person who was the DON at the facility at the time the contract with the radiology
company was signed in 2022.

actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan for each resident,
consistent with the resident's rights, that includes measurable short-term and long-term objectives and
timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, mental, and psychosocial needs that are identified in the
comprehensive assessment for 1 (Resident #21) of 3 residents reviewed for care plans in that:
1. The facility failed to retain Resident #21's DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) code status on the comprehensive
care plan when Resident #21 was transferred to the hospital.
2. The facility failed to ensure Resident #21's DNR code status was included in Resident #21's
comprehensive care plan when it was signed by the physician on [DATE].

unwitnessed fall in Resident #21's room on [DATE] at 9:30pm.
4. The facility failed to ensure Resident #21's comprehensive care plan was updated to reflect an
unwitnessed fall in Resident #21's room on [DATE] at 4:30am.
5. The facility failed to ensure Resident #21's comprehensive care plan was updated to reflect a witnessed
fall in the facility dining room on [DATE] at 2:30pm.

as a full code. When I went back in to lock the assessment, it locked in as a full code, maybe. The DON
stated that everything that was in the initial assessment should show in the care plan, including the things
that were not locked until [DATE]. The DON stated that it was everyone's responsibility to update the care
plan and that they did DNR audit as needed to make sure that they had the correct code status. The DON
stated, The

nursing staff doesn't have any set schedule to do DNR audits, but the social worker probably does. The
DON stated that not having a resident's code status on the care plan could potentially cause an issue
because if the resident had a DNR order and coded but the code status was unclear, CPR might be
started, which would not have been the resident's or the RP's wishes.
In an interview on [DATE] at 3:01pm, the NC stated that Focus, Goal, and Interventions/ Tasks items that
were created and initiated on the same day that the DON entered them would normally be new things
(focuses, goals, interventions/tasks) that were entered. The NC stated, If I do the admission assessment
and lock it by signing it, that will show up in the care plan for that day. For something to show as Resolved,
someone has to go in and actually resolve that specific area. The NC stated she was not sure why the DNR
code status showed Resolved and reverted to full code on Resident #21's care plan. When asked about the
Focus of, I wish to be called by my preferred name (specify), The NC stated it was the responsibility of the
person who initiated that focus to update the care plan and specify the name. The NC stated that anyone
who could have updated the care plan, should have updated the care plan. The NC stated she did not know
why Resident #21's DNR status did not get put on the care plan until [DATE], 21 days after admission.
In an interview on [DATE] at 11:50am, LVN D stated, admission assessments are signed by putting in your
log in information once you are done with each section. It is signed to show that you completed it. It gets
flagged if not completed, but I am not sure where that shows up. I think if it does not get signed, the DON
and ADON get notified. LVN D stated the baseline care plan was created by the admission assessment.
LVN D stated certain things would get triggered once each section was completed and she would go in and
check all the appropriate boxes. LVN D stated she had never not completed an assessment, so she did not
know what happened if a section was not signed. LVN D stated her preceptor gave her specific training on
admission assessments and helped her with the first few that she did. LVN D stated she did not recall
getting in services on admission assessments. LVN D stated code status was established during the
admission assessment; if the resident wanted to be a DNR, they had to have a valid OOH (out of hospital)
DNR form. LVN D stated for the OOH DNR form to be valid, it had to have the resident's (or RP's)
signature, 2 witness signatures, and the physician's signature. LVN D stated if the resident had the form
and it was valid, it had to be scanned into the system and the order for DNR was entered. LVN D stated that
the form was placed in the medical records folder at the nurse's station, the medical records person picked
it up every morning and scanned it into the system. LVN D stated as far as she knew, medical records had
the hard copy of the DNR forms. LVN D stated if she had a resident with a DNR form that was missing the
physician's signature, she would call the physician to make him or her aware of it, and that the social
worker or MDS nurse would help with that, also. LVN D stated if a resident coded before the DNR got a
physician signature, she would initiate CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation).
In an interview on [DATE] at 12:43pm, LVN A stated when she was hired, she shadowed a nurse the first
day, then did skills check offs on the second day. LVN a stated she was specifically trained on admission
assessments. LVN A stated after an LVN did an admission the RN, usually the MDS nurse, would go over it
and add or take away things as needed. LVN A stated admission assessments were done as soon as the
resident entered the facility and included a head-to-toe assessment, skin assessment, dentures, hearing
aids, any other devices, the resident's abilities, diet, and code status. LVN A stated if the resident was a
DNR, she would make sure the form was complete, then filed it in the medical records folder for the medical
records people to scan it into the computer. LVN A stated if a resident came in on the weekend and had a
valid DNR form she would make a copy of it and put it on her pass down. LVN A stated typically, Hospice
would meet the resident at the facility to make sure that the medications

were there, the orders were done, and all the necessary paperwork was done. LVN A stated if the DNR was
not signed by the hospice physician, they would typically call the hospice doctor to get the signature. LVN A
stated at the end of the admission assessment they would enter their electronic signature into the box that
asked, Sign and save? LVN A stated the admission assessment was supposed to be answered completely
and signed, and if it was not signed, the DON and/or ADON would get a report that showed what was
incomplete. LVN A stated the DON or ADON would go to the nurse and had them fix it, but sometimes it
was a couple of weeks later. LVN A stated a baseline care plan was developed from the admission
assessment. LVN A stated if there were things that were getting missed often, the nursing staff would be in
serviced on those topics.
In an interview on [DATE] at 2:40pm, the SW stated she reviewed code status on admission (the first or
second business day after admission) and quarterly. The SW stated she would update care plans with other
information such as discharge planning, evacuation plan, and social history. The SW stated if the resident
presented a completed OOH DNR, she would go into the care plan, resolve the full code status and put in
the DNR status. The SW stated she would take the completed DNR form to the nurse's station, ask the
nurse to get the order for DNR and update it in PCC, then place the form in the medical records folder for it
to be uploaded. The SW stated she thought that medical records kept a hard copy of DNRs in their office.
The SW stated she did not know why there would be a delay in putting a DNR on the care plan. The SW
stated there was no specific time frame for doing code status audits, but that they had to be done on
admission and quarterly and she would sometimes just check over things. The SW stated there was no
specific policy except quarterly because that was when they had care plan meetings. The SW stated the
code status was updated on the care plan so that everything matched in the resident's chart. The SW
stated if something was not updated in the care plan, it would cause issues with the resident's plan of care.
The SW stated that she was out on leave for over a month and did not return until 4 days after Resident
#21 was admitted . The SW stated she had to go back and review all the residents that were admitted while
she was out and that was why there was a delay in care planning Resident #21's DNR status.
In an interview on [DATE] at 3:48pm, the NAC stated the baseline care plan was developed when the
resident got admitted and it was developed from the nursing admission assessment. The NAC stated she
did not know if the admission assessment being signed or locked at a later date would Resolve a code
status if the original status was different than what was care planned. The NAC stated she oversaw the care
plans and when a resident was admitted , she would review it on the next business day and edit or
complete the care plan as needed. The NAC stated, I have no idea if the admission assessment being
signed/locked after I put something directly into the care plan would resolve my entry. The NAC stated they
had 48 hours to enter a baseline care plan and until the 21st day after admission to make it comprehensive.
The NAC stated she did not know when or how the comprehensive assessment would be done. The NAC
stated they did a 72-hour care plan meeting and confirmed the code status with the resident and family at
that time and that the code status should be care planned within the first couple of days. The NAC stated
that Resident #21's DNR states should have been care planned sooner than 17 days after it was signed by
a physician and 21 days after admission. The NAC stated she may have waited to care plan Resident #21's
DNR status because the admission assessment was not completed. The NAC stated if she found an
admission assessment that had not been completed, she would let the DON and/or ADON know that it
needed to be completed. The NAC stated, Now I go in and complete what needs to be completed so that
the care plan reflects the resident's and/or family member's wishes about the plan of care. The NAC stated
the created date and the initiated date on the care plan could be different if the admission/ readmission
assessment was started on one date and

signed/locked on a later date or in the case of a readmission such as a resident that transferred back from
the hospital, the created date would be from the original admission assessment and the initiated date could
be from the readmission assessment. The NAC stated she did not know of a way to see who filled out
which sections of the admission assessment or when it was filled out if it was not signed by the admitting
nurse when it was done. The NAC stated she thought the care plan would show both code statuses if the
admitting status was different than what was entered later.
In an interview on [DATE] at 11:00am, the MD stated he would expect the admitting nurse to notify him if
there was a DNR that needed his signature so that there would not be a significant delay in entering a DNR
order. The MD stated he had the ability to have a DNR form emailed or faxed to him so that he could sign it
and send it back, whether it was during business hours or a night/weekend.
In an interview on [DATE] at 1:11pm, the ADON stated the comprehensive care plan was a team effort;
LVNs could do the baseline care plan through the admission assessment, but an RN had to view it and
make modifications if needed. The ADON stated there was not any one person who was responsible for the
comprehensive care plan. The ADON stated in the admission assessment you could click the save and next
button once each section was finished and then click the option to sign all for the whole assessment. The
ADON stated if there were sections that were already signed and someone went in and clicked the sign all
button, it would not over sign the sections that were already signed. The ADON stated she thought if the
admission assessment had a full code but there was a DNR put into the care plan later, it would just show
both if the admission assessment was locked after the DNR was put into the care plan. The ADON stated
anyone could add to the care plan as necessary.
Record review of the facility's Care Plans policy dated 2/2017 and revised 1/2023 reflected in part:
Guidelines:
The community develops a comprehensive care plan for each resident that includes measurable objectives
to meet a resident's medical, nursing, mental, and psychosocial needs that are identified in the
comprehensive assessment. The care plan should be reflective of the identified problem or risk, a
measurable outcome objective and appropriate intervention(s) in relation to the identified problem or risk,
outcome objective, and the resident's ability, needs, medical condition, preventative measures. The care
plan may also include the expressed preferences. The care plan in conjunction with the plan of care
throughout the medical record is developed and or recommended to attain or maintain the resident's
highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being.
The IDT should include within the care plan the right to refuse any recommended care, treatment or
services identified but that is not provided due to the resident exercising his or her right to refuse care,
service, or treatment, as well as the resident's legal representative acting on behalf of the resident.
The care plan should be initiated upon admission, continued to be developed during the initial 48-72 hrs.,
throughout the completion of the admission comprehensive assessment. The care plan should be updated
and reviewed at least quarterly thereafter, then annually and with significant changes in condition as
defined in the RAI manual. Additional updates to the care plan may be done as indicated.
The care plan should be developed no later than seven days following the completion of the

Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed,
and revised by a team of health professionals.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan within 7 days after
completion of the comprehensive assessment for 1 (Resident #21) of 3 residents reviewed for care plan
timing.
The facility failed to ensure that Resident #21's comprehensive care plan was developed within 7 days of a
comprehensive assessment or within 21 days of Resident #21's admission date of 10/27/23 and
comprehensive assessment date of 10/31/23.
These failures could place residents at risk of not receiving individualized care and services to attain or
maintain the residents highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial wellbeing.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #21's face sheet reflected an [AGE] year-old female that was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with a primary diagnosis of Encounter for Palliative Care (care focused on improving
quality of life for people with serious illnesses). Other pertinent diagnoses included congestive heart failure
(the heart didn't pump blood effectively and could cause fluid buildup in the lungs), dementia (loss of
memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities severe enough to interfere with daily life),
inflammatory polyneuropathy (an auto immune attack on the peripheral nerves that can cause progressive
muscle weakness, numbness, loss of reflexes, and pain or tingling in the arms, hands, legs, and feet),
major depressive disorder, chronic kidney disease-stage 3 (mild to moderate kidney damage), dyspnea
(shortness of breath), edema (swelling), muscle weakness, and muscle atrophy (wasting or loss of muscle
tissue). There were no diagnoses related to liver damage or liver failure.
In a phone interview on 9/10/24 at 9:03am Resident #21's family member stated that Resident #21 had a
history of breast cancer and colon cancer but had received PET (Positron emission tomography) scans for
at least the last 3 to 5 years prior to her admission to the facility that showed no cancer anywhere. Resident
#21's family member stated that Resident #21 did not have any history of liver damage or liver failure and
that Resident #21's primary care physician prior to going on hospice had told Resident #21 and her family
member that her kidney disease was stable. Resident #21's family member stated that the reason Resident
#21 went into the facility with hospice care was because Resident #21's dementia had progressed to the
point that the family member could not take care of her at home anymore.
Record review of Resident #21's admission MDS dated [DATE] reflected she had a BIMS score of 00 which
indicated she had severe cognitive impairment.
Record review of Resident #21's Care Plan dated 10/27/23 and revised on 10/30/23, 11/29/23 and 12/6/23
reflected in part:
The original care plan had some correct information, however when Resident #21 went to the hospital on
[DATE], the DON revised the care plan and did not retain the original necessary information or added
necessary information that was not on the original care plan.

In an interview on 9/11/24 at 2:12pm, the DON stated the initial care plan was done on admission and
within 48 hours of admission. The DON stated the initial care plan was generated from the admission
assessment and included comorbidities such as risk for infection, anticoagulants, heart disease, hospice,
end of life, tracheostomy and/or ventilator, transfers and lifts, dialysis, cardiac issues, cognition, vision,
hearing, skin concerns, bowel and bladder, antidepressants, antianxiety medications, hypnotics,
antipsychotics, exit seeking, allergies, code status, preferred name, self-care deficits, dementia, nutrition
and hydration, feeding tube, fall risk, discharge planning, and mental health behaviors or issues. The DON
stated that it was everyone's responsibility to update the care plan.
In an interview on 9/11/24 at 3:01pm, when asked about the Focus of, I wish to be called by my preferred
name (specify), the NC stated it was the responsibility of the person who initiated that focus to update the
care plan and specify the name. The NC stated that anyone who could have updated the care plan, should
have updated the care plan.
In an interview on 9/12/24 at 2:40pm, the SW stated she reviewed code status on admission (the first or
second business day after admission) and quarterly. The SW stated she would update care plans with other
information such as discharge planning, evacuation plan, and social history. The SW stated there was no
specific time frame for doing code status audits, but that they had to be done on admission and quarterly
and she would sometimes just check over things. The SW stated there was no specific policy on updating
care plans except quarterly because that was when they had care plan meetings. The SW stated the care
plan was updated so that everything matched in the resident's chart. The SW stated if something was not
updated in the care plan, it would cause issues with the resident's plan of care. The SW stated that she was
out on leave for over a month and did not return until 4 days

after Resident #21 was admitted . The SW stated she had to go back and review all the residents that were
admitted while she was out.
In an interview on 9/12/24 at 3:48pm, the NAC stated the baseline care plan was developed when the
resident got admitted and it was developed from the nursing admission assessment. The NAC stated she
oversaw the care plans and when a resident was admitted , she would review it on the next business day
and edit or complete the care plan as needed. The NAC stated, I have no idea if the admission assessment
being signed/locked after I put something directly into the care plan would resolve my entry. The NAC
stated they had 48 hours to enter a baseline care plan and until the 21st day after admission to make it
comprehensive. The NAC stated she did not know when or how the comprehensive assessment would be
done. The NAC stated they did a 72-hour care plan meeting and confirmed the code status with the
resident and family at that time and that the code status should be care planned within the first couple of
days. The NAC stated that Resident #21's DNR states should have been care planned sooner than 17 days
after it was signed by a physician and 21 days after admission. The NAC stated she may have waited to
care plan Resident #21's DNR status because the admission assessment was not completed. The NAC
stated if she found an admission assessment that had not been completed, she would let the DON and/or
ADON know that it needed to be completed. The NAC stated, Now I go in and complete what needs to be
completed so that the care plan reflects the resident's and/or family member's wishes about the plan of
care. The NAC stated the created date and the initiated date on the care plan could be different if the
admission/ readmission assessment was started on one date and signed/locked on a later date or in the
case of a readmission such as a resident that transferred back from the hospital, the created date would be
from the original admission assessment and the initiated date could be from the readmission assessment.
The NAC stated she did not know of a way to see who filled out which sections of the admission
assessment or when it was filled out if it was not signed by the admitting nurse when it was done. The NAC
stated she thought the care plan would show both code statuses if the admitting status was different than
what was entered later.
In an interview on 9/13/24 at 1:11pm, the ADON stated the comprehensive care plan was a team effort;
LVNs could do the baseline care plan through the admission assessment, but

Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to promptly notify the ordering physician, physician
assistant, nurse practitioner, or clinical nurse specialist of results that fall outside of clinical reference
ranges in accordance with facility policies and procedures for notification of a practitioner or per the
ordering physician's orders for 1 (Resident #21) of 3 residents reviewed for diagnostic services.
Residents Affected - Few
1. The facility failed to immediately notify Resident #21's physician before 11/29/23 at 8:30am when
Resident #21's radiology report dated 11/28/23 at 5:51pm revealed that Resident #21 had a displaced
fracture of her left femur neck (top of the thigh bone at the hip) that occurred when Resident #21 fell in the
facility's dining room on 11/25/23.
On 9/18/24 at 2:06pm an Immediate Jeopardy was identified. While the Immediate Jeopardy was removed
on 9/20/24 at 1:35pm, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolated with a severity of no
actual harm with the potential for more than minimal harm that was not Imediate Jeopardy due to the facility
continuing to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of their plan of removal.
This failure could place residents at risk of a delay in treatment, decline in physical, mental, and/or
psychosocial status, hospitalization, and even death.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #21's face sheet reflected an [AGE] year-old female that was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with a primary diagnosis of Encounter for palliative care (care focused on improving
quality of life for people with serious illnesses). Other pertinent diagnoses included congestive heart failure
(the heart didn't pump blood effectively and could cause fluid buildup in the lungs), dementia (loss of
memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities severe enough to interfere with daily life),
inflammatory polyneuropathy (an auto immune attack on the peripheral nerves that can cause progressive
muscle weakness, numbness, loss of reflexes, and pain or tingling in the arms, hands, legs, and feet),
major depressive disorder, chronic kidney disease-stage 3 (mild to moderate kidney damage), dyspnea
(shortness of breath), edema (swelling), muscle weakness, and muscle atrophy (wasting or loss of muscle
tissue). There were no diagnoses related to liver damage or liver failure.
Record review of Resident #21's admission MDS dated [DATE] reflected she had a BIMS score of 00 which
indicated she had severe cognitive impairment.
Record review of Resident #21's care plan dated 10/27/23 and revised on 10/30/23, 11/29/23 and 12/6/23

In a phone interview on 9/12/24 at 10:05am Resident #21's family member stated that Resident #21 had a
history of breast cancer and colon cancer but had received PET (Positron emission tomography) scans for
at least the last 3 to 5 years prior to her admission to the facility that showed no cancer anywhere. Resident
#21's family member stated that Resident #21 did not have any history of liver damage or liver failure and
that Resident #21's primary care physician prior to going on hospice had told Resident #21 and her family
member that her kidney disease was stable. Resident #21's family member stated that the reason Resident
#21 went into the facility with hospice care was because Resident #21's dementia had progressed to the
point that the family member could not take care of her at home anymore. Resident #21's family member
stated that Resident #21 went back to the family member's house on 11/30/23 with hospice services
because the emergency room physician and the surgeon told the family member that surgery for Resident
#21's left hip fracture was not an option due to the resident now having kidney and liver failure. Resident
#21 passed away at home on [DATE].
Record review of Resident #21's progress notes section in the facility's PCC system reflected an entry

the physician was notified of Resident #21's fall on 11/25/23 at 2:45pm and the physician's
recommendation was to refer Resident #21 for a physical therapy evaluation.
In an interview on 9/11/24 at 3:50pm, the DON stated, We did not do x-rays at the time [of the fall] because
when I looked at the camera, she was self-propelling in the dining room. She was shaking a doorknob and
kind of slid out of her chair onto the floor. She did not actually stand and fall. She did not have any bruising
at that time. We got an x-ray on the 28th (11/28/23). I don't remember why or what her signs and symptoms
were. With hospice patients, hospice won't order x-rays, so we contacted our doctor instead of the hospice
physician and that's why there was a delay from the complaint of pain on the 27th (11/27/23) to the order
on the 28th (11/28/23).
In an interview on 9/13/24 at 12:48pm, CNA M stated, On 11/25/23, Resident #21 was in the dining room
toward the kitchen washroom area. I was passing by taking people out of the dining room. I saw her getting
up off the wheelchair and standing. Once I saw her taking some steps and was unbalanced, I knew she
was going to fall so I sprinted over there to try to catch her. It was kind of a slow fall. She was not quite on
the floor when I got to her, so I made sure she did not hit her head. When she was on the floor, she was
kind of on her left side. Two other people saw it as well and came in to assist me to get her back to her
chair. She said she was in pain after that. I can't remember if she said her arm or her hip, but she was
saying, ow- it hurts, it hurts. She was just kind of whimpering and saying she hurt when she was assisted
back into the wheelchair.
Record review of Resident #21's Orders reflected a left shoulder and hip/pelvis x-ray ordered by RN K on
11/28/24 at 11:30am.
Record review of Resident #21's printable view progress notes dated 11/29/23 at 8:34am reflected an entry
by RN I that stated, Xray report from Xray of 11/28/23 reviewed and reported to medical provider left
shoulder x ray showed no acute fracture, RP states she will think about the situation, but shows grossly
displaced femoral neck fracture of left hip, acute fracture. Medical provider recommends send resident too
[sic] ER (Emergency Room) for evaluation of left hip fracture. DON notified. And RP notified and will think
about whether she wants notify Nurse when she makes a decision on sending the resident sent out to ER,
states she will call back to notify this facility. Call out to the hospice company to notify of positive left hip
fracture, left msg to have hospice return my call. [sic]
Record review of the facility's PCC assessments page for Resident #21 reflected an unsigned eINTERACT
Change in Condition Evaluation that was dated 11/29/23 and reflected the situation being reported was
Trauma (fall related or other) and that Resident #21 had new pain, left hip pain/left iliac crest (rear)/Left
trochanter (hip) and intensity of pain 2 of 10. In the area for observation and evaluation summary, the
author documented, Results of x ray to hip positive for Grossly displaced femoral neck fracture of left hip
with no discoloration to area. Resident does have pain on left hip, with pain medication. Medical provider
notified and recommends to send resident out to ER for evaluation, DON notified of Results of left hip X
RAY and RP notified states since resident is hospice, she will need to decide whether she wishes to send
resident out to ER, will notify nurses of her decision [sic]. This document also stated that Resident #21's
physician was notified on 11/29/23 at 8:40am and the physician recommended Resident #21 be taken by
non-emergent transfer ambulance for evaluation of left hip fracture to the ER.
In an interview on 9/11/24 at 3:56pm, the DON stated, If there is a significant finding for an x-ray, I receive
an email and they call the facility within, I think, 24 hours. I received the email at

5:51pm (on 11/28/23). Even if I was gone for the day, I would check my email from home. I may have been
out with the flu or COVID at that time, but I remember calling the facility that evening. I can't say why the
physician was not notified until 8:30 the next morning or why the nurse didn't document anything. The
physician and RP should have been notified that evening. A lot of the longer tenure nurses will want to
notify the hospice doctor before the facility doctor because they are hospice, but we don't have
documentation of that either. If the physician and RP are not notified, it could lead to negative outcomes
including untreated pain or worsening of a fracture. The physician and RP should be notified immediately
when critical results are received. The DON did not state who she talked to when she called the facility on
11/28/23 about the x-ray results.
In a telephone interview on 9/13/24 at 10:21am a supervisor for the facility's contracted radiology company
stated that the result of the left shoulder and hip/pelvis x-ray was automatically delivered by email to the
facility's DON and administrator on 11/28/23 at 5:51pm. The supervisor stated that the result was also
automatically faxed to the facility's fax number on record on 11/28/23 at 5:51pm, but that it failed. The
supervisor stated there was no documentation that the radiology company called the facility to report the
significant findings of the x-ray.
In a telephone interview on 9/13/24 at 11:00am the MD stated he would expect for the physician or nurse
practitioner to be notified of any critical/significant results with 30-45 minutes. The MD stated he did not
know if Resident #21's outcome would have been different if he had been notified of her broken femur when
the x-ray was resulted on 11/28/23 at 5:51pm. The MD stated if for some reason the facility was unable to
contact either the NP or the MD, they should just go ahead and send the resident out to the ER. The MD
stated that when Resident #21 was treated for 10 of 10 pain specifically to her left leg and shoulder on
11/27/23 following a fall on her left side on 11/25/23 he or nurse practitioner should have been notified. The
MD stated, What we know of hip fractures in older adults, we need to intervene sooner rather than later
because being in bed for three days, especially if they are in pain and probably not eating or drinking well, it
can lead to multi organ failure. If we had known about the fracture and intervened earlier, she may have
lived a little longer. The MD stated that it was ultimately a hospice decision to x-ray a hospice patient, but if
she had not been a hospice patient, it would have been prudent to do an x-ray at the time of the fall.
In an interview on 9/13/24 at 1:11pm the ADON stated for critical findings, the lab or radiology would call
the facility and would ask for the nurse of that specific resident. The nurse would talk to them and get the
results. After the nurse received the critical or significant finding information, he/she would then call the
doctor and see if there were any new orders. The ADON stated, We call the doctor immediately when we
have critical results. The ADON stated, That I know of there isn't a specific policy in writing about when to
notify the doctor of critical results.
In an interview on 9/16/24 at 11:12am, RN K stated if there was an abnormal finding on an x-ray, the
radiology company posted the results on the website. RN K stated she did not think the facility got called if
there were significant findings. RN K stated she thought that once the results got posted, the facility doctor
looked at the results and it went from there. RN K stated she did not recall any time when the DON or
ADON went to her and said that there was an abnormal x-ray result and for her to notify the physician. RN
K stated if the nurse found something (a significant finding) before the doctor did, then the nurse would call
the doctor immediately. RN K stated if the nurse was not able to contact the doctor, he/she was to contact
the DON to let her know so that she could follow up. RN K stated the x-ray technician would not tell the
nurse if they saw something abnormal on the x-ray. RN K stated that sometimes x-rays would result right
away, but sometimes they took a very long time.

In a telephone interview on 9/16/24 at 11:48am LVN J stated when an x-ray was done, the nurse would
have had to look for the results and that there was no flag or anything to let the nurse know that the results
were posted. LVN J stated if she was going off shift, she would pass it on to the next shift to look for the
results. LVN J stated they would not be notified by the radiology company. LVN J stated sometimes the
x-ray technician would let them know if something did not look right and to keep an eye out for the report.
LVN J stated if she pulled up an x-ray report and something looked abnormal or bad, she would notify the
physician right away- as soon as she saw the result. LVN J stated she did not know if anyone at the facility
got notified automatically of results. LVN J stated that she worked at the facility until March 2024 and had
been there for about a year. LVN J stated they discussed notification of changes and physician notification
almost every day and had once a month in-service on various topics.
In an interview on 9/16/24 at 12:24pm, the DON stated, At that time (11/28/23) when abnormal or critical
x-rays were received, the facility would receive a phone call with the results. I would also get an email for
significant findings. Normally, if I wasn't at the facility, I would call to make sure the nurse knew of the
findings. Let's say I didn't see the email or get the email; the x-ray people would call the facility and we
could get into the portal and print out the x-ray results. X-ray will call, but sometimes they don't call until the
next day. If it was the next day, it was like a follow up call when they'd ask if we saw it. If the facility is notified
of an abnormal result (for hospice) it would depend on the nurse whether the primary doctor or hospice
would get notified first, but they would both be notified. The nurse would need to notify the doctor as soon
as they found out about it. In reference to (Resident #21's) x-ray result, I got the email on 11/28/23 at
5:51pm. I was not here (at the facility) at the time, and I don't remember if I called the facility or not. The
DON stated that the floor nurse would have had to go into the portal to see if the x-ray result was there. The
PCC system did not flag or alert when an x-ray was resulted, the nurse would have to check. The DON
stated if the x-ray was not resulted during the day shift, the day shift nurse would pass on to the night shift
nurse to look out for the result. If for some reason the night shift nurse did not get the result, then the day
shift nurse would follow up the next morning. The DON stated, In general, if there was a critical or
significant finding, the physician should have been notified right away. Notification 15 hours later is
generally not acceptable. There may be times when that would be ok, but in this particular case, no. The
DON stated, She (Resident #21) wasn't x-rayed the day of the fall because she didn't display any signs or
symptoms of pain; not even when they were getting her off the floor initially. The DON stated it was
important to notify the physician of any significant change in condition or results of diagnostics so that they
could provide the best quality of care for the resident. The DON stated if the physician was not notified of
changes or diagnostic results, the resident's quality of care could have been affected, the resident may not
have gotten needed treatment, services, or medication, the resident could have been hospitalized , or it
could have even led to death. The DON stated, The policy does not have a specific time frame for
notification. The DON stated when a physician was notified of results or a change of condition,
documentation included dated and time of notification of provider and RP and any new orders.
In an interview on 9/16/24 at 2:14pm the Admin stated, I do get the emails that say significant findings from
radiology. If I see that email come through, I contact the DON and make sure she saw it and ask what it is
about. If it is a night or weekend, I will still talk to the DON about it and she will contact facility staff. The
Admin stated, If there are significant or critical findings on any diagnostics, the physician should be notified
in a timely manner- ASAP. It shouldn't be more than 2 hours once the nurse finds out that they try to notify
the physician. 15 hours is not

stated the physician should always be notified if a resident complained of a significant increase in pain. The
Admin stated it was important to notify the physician right away for changes in condition so that they could

In a phone interview on 9/18/24 at 10:56am LVN L stated he worked PRN (as needed) at the facility, usually
on weekends. LVN L stated it had been a while since he last worked there and he could not recall what date
he worked there last. LVN L stated he remembered Resident #21's name but did not remember anything
specific about her. LVN L stated if an x-ray was done, the results may have been faxed to the facility. LVN L
stated that he thought had seen a couple of chest x rays come through on the fax before but did not recall
that anyone got any significant x-ray results while he was on shift. LVN L stated if he ordered an x-ray and
had not received a result after about a couple of hours, he would call the x-ray place and ask about it. LVN
L stated that x-ray results could go straight to the resident's profile now. LVN L stated they could go into the
results tab and see if the x-ray was resulted. LVN L stated there was not a pop up or anything to remind you
to go look at the result. LVN L stated if he got a significant finding, he would call the doctor to let them know
as soon as he got the result. LVN L stated in his orientation they went over the things you were supposed to
notify the physician for. LVN L stated, I don't remember them saying when specifically, the doctor should be
notified after receiving the results. LVN L stated if an x-ray was done on his shift and he had not gotten the
result yet, he, as the off going nurse, reported it to the oncoming nurse who would keep an eye out for the
result. LVN L stated there was also a piece of paper that stuff was written on to pass along to the next shift.
In an interview on 9/18/24 at 2:10pm the DON stated that she never opened the email from the radiology
company on 11/28/23. The DON provided a copy of the radiology company's print out of the details of
Resident #21's x-ray that was done on 11/28/23. The print-out reflected that a SIGNIFICANT report was
emailed to the DON and the Admin on 11/28/23 at 5:51pm. This print-out also reflected that a text message
was sent to a phone number and a fax was sent to the facility's fax number with the x-ray findings on
11/28/23 at 5:51pm. The DON and the Admin stated that the fax number that the radiology company had
was not the facility's fax number and they did not know why the radiology company had that number. The
DON and the Admin also stated that they did not know who the phone number belonged to that the text
message was sent to. An internet search on 9/20/24 revealed the fax number that the radiology company
sent the result to had been associated with this facility and the phone number that the text message was
sent to belonged to the person who was the DON at the facility at the time the contract with the radiology
company was signed in 2022.
