F205 06/07/2017 (d) Notice of bed-hold policy and return(1) Notice before transfer. Before a nursing facility transfers a resident to a hospital or the resident goes on therapeutic leave, the nursing facility must provide written information to the resident or resident representative that specifies(i) The duration of the state bed-hold policy, if any, during which the resident is permitted to return and resume residence in the nursing LABORATORY DIRECTOR'S OR PROVIDER/SUPPLIER REPRESENTATIVE'S SIGNATURE TITLE (X6) DATE Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients . (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

(2) Bed-hold notice upon transfer. At the time of transfer of a resident for hospitalization or therapeutic leave, a nursing facility must provide to the resident and the resident representative written notice which specifies the duration of the bed-hold policy described in paragraph (e)(1) of this section. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide a written bed-hold notification for one of 19 sampled residents (Resident 16). This deficient practice had the potential for the resident and/or the legal representative not to be fully aware of the availability and duration of the bed-hold at the time of transfer. Findings: A review of the Admission face sheet indicated Resident 16 was admitted to the facility on 2/12/17, with diagnoses of pulmonary fibrosis (condition in which the tissue deep in your lungs becomes scarred over time) and weakness. Resident 16 was transferred to the acute general hospital on 2/19/17.

On 5/21/17 at 10:15 a.m., during a concurrent record review and interview with the Medical Records Director (MR Director), stated there was no form or documentation for Bed-Hold Notification in Resident 16's clinical record. The MR Director stated the admission packet which contained the Bed-Hold Notification form was not in Resident 16's clinical record. This was the reason why it was not completed by the licensed nurse. A review of the facility's form titled, "Bed-Hold Acknowledgement," indicated the form was to be completed upon discharge. The form also indicated that the resident or legal representative has been notified of the option of having the bed held for a maximum of seven days after transfer to an acute hospital. Further review of the form, indicated the resident/legal representative had a choice to not hold a bed or hold bed for ___ (blank to indicate desire number of days for hold) days. A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, "Transfer or Discharge Documentation," dated 8/2014, indicated that when a resident is transferred or discharged, a documentation concerning all transfers must include that an appropriate notice was provided to the resident and/or representative.

This deficient practice had the potential to put Resident 11's safety at risk. Findings: A review of Resident 11's profile face sheet indicated Resident 11 was admitted to the facility on 1/9/2014, with diagnoses that included cerebral infarction (brain injury resulting from decreased blood supply and oxygen), hypertension (chronic elevated blood pressure), Alzheimer's disease (brain disorder that is characterized by long term and gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember) and hyperlipidemia (elevated fats in the blood).

Indentation was noted on the left anterior shoulder which was tender (painful) to touch, and the resident was unable to move the left upper extremity. The attending physician was notified and ordered a Stat (immediate) x-ray (photo image to check for abnormalities of bone and soft tissue) of the left shoulder. A review of Resident 11's "X-Ray of left shoulder" dated 5/12/17, indicated Resident 11 had an anterior/inferior left shoulder dislocation. A review of Resident 11's "Physician Telephone Order Sheet" dated 5/12/17, indicated to transfer Resident 11 to the General Acute Care Hospital (GACH) for evaluation of the left shoulder dislocation. A review of Resident 11's GACH notes titled, "Emergency Documentation" dated 5/12/17, indicated Resident 11 was transferred to GACH due to left shoulder pain. Resident 11 underwent procedural sedation (a technique of administering substance that induces sedation that allows the patient to tolerate unpleasant procedures) and reduction (a procedure to restore dislocation to correct alignment) of the left shoulder dislocation.

LVN 3 also stated that nobody from the facility knew how Resident 11's left shoulder got dislocated. LVN 3 also stated that this should have been reported to the state. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 5/19/17 at 7:19 p.m., the DON stated that she did a thorough investigation of Resident 11' left shoulder dislocation incident. The DON also stated that the left shoulder dislocation is an injury, and that nobody knew how Resident 11's shoulder was dislocated. The DON also stated that Resident 11 had osteoporosis and stiff shoulders, and the left shoulder dislocation could have been due to osteoporosis and stiff shoulders. The DON also stated that she did not report the injury of unknown source to state licensing and certification agency. The DON further stated that she will report Resident 11's injury of unknown source to the State now. During an interview with the Administrator on 5/20/17 at 10:00 a.m., the Administrator stated she did not file a report about Resident 11"s injury of unknown source, because she was focused on the result of the x-ray showing no fracture.
