Complete data begins January 2011 (although some earlier inspections do show up). Individual states are provides as CSV files. A very large (4.5GB) national file is also provided as a zipped archive. New data will be updated on a monthly basis. For additional documentation, please see the README.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record reviews and interviews, the facility failed to issue a transfer/discharge notice to 1 of 2 sampled residents (#38) and failed to notify the Ombudsman Office of a facility initiated transfer/discharge to an acute care facility for 1 of 1 sampled residents reviewed for hospitalization (#253). Findings: 1. Resident #38's clinical record was reviewed and documentation indicated the Resident #38 was transferred to an acute care hospital, per family member's request, on 6/30/19 and was admitted . The surveyor was unable to find evidence of a written transfer/discharge notice being provided to Resident #38 or the Resident's Representative. On 7/17/19 10:57 a.m., during an interview with a surveyor, the Unit Secretary stated at the time of a Resident's discharge, she completes the Checklist for Closed Charts. She states that the nurse that completed the Physician order [REDACTED]. Usually, a copy of the discharge/transfer notices are put in the Social Worker's box and then they are placed in the clinical record under the Social Services section. The Unit Secretary was only able to find a blank transfer/discharge notice and was unable to find a completed notice in the closed record but she would check with the Licensed Social Worker (LSW) to see if she has a copy. On 7/17/19 at 11:47 a.m., during an interview with a surveyor, the LSW stated that she cannot find the transfer/discharge notice for Resident #38's transfer/discharge to the hospital on [DATE]. She states that it was an Agency Nurse that sent Resident #38 to the hospital but the practice should be that everyone that gets sent to the hospital receives a transfer/discharge notice. 2. Resident #253's clinical record was reviewed and documentation indicated that Resident #253 was transferred to an acute care facility on 1/6/19, and was admitted . On 7/17/19 at 11:47 a.m., during an interview with a surveyor, the LSW stated that she was unaware of having to notify the Ombudsman's office for facility initiated transfer/discharges and has not notified them of any. |
