- Failure to Immediately Notify the Resident’s Doctor or Family Member of a Change in the Resident’s Condition – citation #F580 date June 13, 2018
According to state surveyors, “the facility failed to ensure a resident’s family was notified of an accident and an emergency room (ER) visit.” The investigation involved a cognitively intact resident whose 2018 incident report documented “was in the facility van going to [an appointment for treatment].” At that time, the resident “and wheelchair fell over with safety straps still in place.”
The report documented that “the resident was sent to the emergency room and had no apparent injuries.” The survey team reviewed the resident’s Medical Records. At that time, there was no notification “to the resident’s family regarding the incident and the ER visit.”
Over a month later, the resident was observed “lying on his bed” on June 13, 2018. The resident “was asked if he wanted “his family notified about any changes or accidents concerning them. He said he did want at least one of his family contacts to be notified.”
Later that afternoon, the surveyors asked the Assistant Director of Nursing “where the staff documented notification to a resident’s family. He reported notification to the family should be documented in the Nursing Notes.” A few minutes later, the surveyors interviewed the facility Administrator “regarding family notification. She was asked if she notified the family. She reported she did not notify the family [but] thought the nurse on duty notified the family. The Administrator stated she could not find any documentation the family was notified.”
Less than an hour later, the surveyors contacted the resident’s family member and asked “if she was notified of the incident related to the resident’s wheelchair or tipping over in the van and the resident going to the ER. The family member stated the facility did not contact her regarding the incident or about the emergency room visit.”
