Plan the resident's discharge to meet the resident's goals and needs.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement an effective discharge
planning process that focused on the resident's discharge goals and included regular re-evaluation of
residents to identify changes that require modification of the discharge plan and to reflect these changes in
the discharge plan for one of one resident (Resident #1) reviewed for discharge planning.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure Resident #1 had a discharge plan in place.
This failure placed residents at risk of not having a plan in place to address residents post discharge needs.
Findings included:
Review of the undated face sheet for Resident #1 reflected a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on
[DATE]. His diagnoses included hemiplegia and hemiparesis (paralysis on one side of the body), cognitive
communication deficit (problems with communication caused by cognitive impairment), aphasia following
cerebral infarction (loss of speech following a stroke that cause death of brain tissue), and depressive
episodes.
Review of the admission MDS for Resident #1 dated 04/03/24 reflected a BIMS score of 13, indicating
intact cognition.
Review of the care plan for Resident #1 dated 04/03/24 reflected Wishes to stay in the facility for long term
care. Discharge goals are: stay in the facility for long term care. Establish a pre-discharge plan with the
resident, family/caregivers and evaluate progress and revise plan as needed.
Review of the progress notes for Resident #1 from 03/27/24 to 05/22/24 reflected no notes pertaining to
discharge planning or transfer to another NF.
Review of documents in Resident #1's electronic medical record reflected no documents related to
discharge planning or transfer to another NF.
Observation and interview on 05/22/24 at 02:14 PM revealed Resident #1 in his room calling out to the
surveyors as they passed by his open door. He was in his wheelchair, and he could not speak clear words
but had a laminated page of letters attached to his wheelchair. Using his finger to point at letters and spell
words, he stated that he wanted to move to a specific local nursing facility. He stated he had told people at
the facility he wanted to move, but they had done nothing and had not spoken with him to update him on
their progress.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm

Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 05/22/24 at 04:10 PM, the SW stated she was doing some discharge planning for
Resident #1, and his family did not want him to transfer. She stated she had reached out to the other facility,
and they had not answered or returned her phone calls until this afternoon. She stated she planned to
reach out to the family before she sent any clinical documents/referral paperwork to the other facility. She
stated she did not know if Resident #1 needed to have his family involved in his decision-making. The SW
stated she would have to look at his chart for cognitive status and medical power of attorney. She stated if
there was a medical power of attorney in place, she would have to consult that person. The SW stated she
did not know he had a BIMS score of 13 and was his own responsible party. She stated she did not know
his family members were only listed as emergency contacts in his profile. She stated she had not
discovered that information yet, because she had not been able to contact the facility where he wanted to
move. The SW stated she now had an email where she could send the referral. She stated she had been
working on it. The SW stated her caseload for residents who were actively discharging was around 8 to ten,
and that was not a huge caseload. She stated Resident #1 expressed his desire to move to the other facility
about a month ago. She stated she had not documented any of her efforts to reach the facility he desired to
move to on the EMR, but she had a notebook where she documented each time she contacted the facility
where he wanted to move . The SW stated she had visited with Resident #1 every other week about her
progress. The SW stated she visited him today at 03:40 PM to update him. The SW stated a potential
negative impact of not having discharge planning under way was, theoretically, a resident would feel his
wants were not being addressed. She stated it was important to develop and implement discharge planning
because it was the resident's right, and they should have had the opportunity to move if they wanted to
move.
During observation and interview on 05/22/24 at 04:27 PM, the DON provided an electronic tablet with a
note-taking application open and a note titled with Resident #1's name on the screen. The note had a date
of 05/22/24 and had several marginally legible handwritten electronic notes indicating dates and times of
phone calls made to the facility where Resident #1 wanted to move.
During an interview on 05/22/24 at 04:43 PM, the ADM stated he found out from Resident #1 that he
wanted to move to another facility a couple weeks ago and told the SW about it. The ADM stated he was
not sure if Resident #1 was pending Medicaid and had not been approved yet, but he thought that might be
the hang up and the reason why the referral had not been initiated. The ADM stated he would think the SW
would have made a note in the EMR when she reached out to the other facility. The ADM stated he stops
and sees Resident #1 frequently, because Resident #1 was on his morning rounds. The ADM stated usually
the issues Resident #1 had were that he was missing something or some small problem.
The ADM stated the SW's perception may have been that the resident's FM is at the facility often, has a lot
to say about his care, and is somewhat hovering so the SW may have assumed the FM would be making
the decisions for Resident #1. The ADM stated that was not the facility policy, and the discharge planning
should have been initiated and documented.
Review of facility policy dated 11/2016 and titled Discharge Planning Process reflected the following:
It is the policy of the facility that the discharge planning process focuses on the resident's discharge goals,
involving the residents as active partners. The discharge process should effectively transition them to
post-discharge care, and minimize clinical or other factors which are related to the possibility of
readmission.
