Findings include: A social service note entry dated 9/9/10 documented that a staff person from the geri-psychiatric unit at Barbour Medical Center was at the facility to evaluate resident #1's behavioral problems in order to determine if he/she met the criteria for placement at the geripsychiatric unit.. However, a review of the clinical record revealed that there was not a physician's order for that psychiatric evaluation.
