The findings included: During a family interview for Resident #35 on 7/12/16, the Responsible Party (RP) stated that the resident had been hospitalized in the last several months. The RP also stated that a Bed Hold notice was not provided that stipulated the duration of the Bed Hold. On 07/12/2016 at 9:05 PM, review of the admission records for the resident and interview with the Admissions Coordinator revealed Resident #35's Responsible Party was informed of the Bed Hold Policy upon admission. Record review revealed no documentation that the bed hold policy had been provided to the RP or sent to the hospital at the time of transfer. Review of the Acute Care Transfer Document Checklist revealed a copy of the facility's bed hold policy was not included. Review of the bed-hold policy revealed that any resident transferred/ discharged from the healthcare center be allowed to be readmitted unless the healthcare center believes it will be unable to treat the resident. The policy further stated that the bed hold policy will be provided on admission and at the time of any transfer. The policy also stated that in cases of emergency, at the time of transfer means within 24 hours of the transfer. The policy further states that if the resident's copy of the bed hold notice is sent with other papers accompanying the resident to the hospital, the requirement is met. During an interview on 07/13/2016 at 11:18 AM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #3 confirmed that the policy stated a second notice which specified the duration of the bed hold policy, would be issued at the time of transfer. The LPN confirmed a Bed Hold notice is not included in the packet sent to the hospital when a resident is transferred and that a notice specifying the duration of the bed hold is not provided by the facility. The LPN further stated that the Transition Nurse, a facility Employee, or Case Manager, from the hospital, provided that information and that no one at the facility kept track of the notification. S/he also stated that the Transition Nurse travels and does not have an office at the facility and was not sure if s/he had an office at the hospital.	2020-02-01
