Interviews on 3/12/18 through 3/15/18 throughout the survey with the administrator and director of nursing (DON) revealed: *During the entrance conference on 3/12/18 at 4:30 p.m. the administrator was given a copy of the Entrance Conference sheet. -That sheet indicated the surveyors required access to the residents' electronic medical records (EMR) by the end of the first day of survey. -He was aware the surveyors needed access. *Within the first half hour of survey the DON brought each surveyor a sheet to obtain access to the EMR. -She stated she would send those forms to the information technology (IT) staff and get the access. -She was aware the surveyors needed to be able to readily access any residents' EMRs for review. On day two of the survey (3/13/18) the surveyors attempted to access the EMR with the login in information provided from the DON: *One surveyor was able to log in with their own computer. -Due to a network error once the surveyor logged in to the EMR it would only be open for a minute or two and then go back to the login screen. *The other four surveyors had problems getting logged into the EMR. *The DON and administrator had brought in laptops for the surveyors to use, but the logins did not work. *By the end of day two surveyors had not had access yet to the EMR. *Upon exiting the building at 6:45 p.m. that day the administrator was aware of the lack of access. -He would figure it out, and it would be ready for the next day. On day three of the survey (3/14/18) IT staff spent time with the surveyors for a large part of the morning getting them access to the EMR: *Laptops were brought in for the surveyors to use, but they had to be logged into by facility staff to get to the home screen. *If the surveyors left the laptop logged in with no movement for more than five to ten minutes it automatically logged off. -They would then have to find a facility staff person to log them in again. *The lack of access and problems with being logged out significantly interfered with the survey process and investigations. *The DON and administrator were updated on 3/12/18, 3/13/18, and 3/14/18 of the need for access. -They were aware it was interfering and slowing down the survey. -They verbalized understanding and were trying to work through the concern with the corporate staff. -Printed copies of parts of residents' medical records were requested due to the limited access to the EMRs. Review of the provider's revised (MONTH) (YEAR) Access to Regional Health Information Systems policy revealed:* .Information systems access authorization may be granted to an individual, or to a class of individuals, either on a case-by-case basis, or by policy.*There was no information relating to the timeliness of access to the medical records. 2020-09-01
