Summary
The facility failed to incorporate the collaboration and shared responsibilities between the facility and Hospice into the care plan for a resident receiving Hospice services. Record review showed that the resident had terminal cancer and was documented as receiving Hospice care, with the care plan listing the name of the Hospice organization. However, there was no evidence in the care plan of specific goals or interventions that reflected the coordinated care between the facility and Hospice, nor were there interventions that identified or directed the division of care responsibilities. The DON confirmed during interview that Hospice responsibilities were not integrated into the facility's care plan.
