Summary
The facility failed to ensure a coordinated plan of care was available for a resident receiving hospice services. Record review showed that the resident was on hospice care according to the admission Minimum Data Set. During interviews, a hospice RN stated that a hospice binder containing the coordinated plan of care and admitting documentation was brought at admission, while an LPN reported that hospice documentation is kept in the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and that the facility does not have hospice binders. However, review of the resident's EMR revealed that the coordinated plan of care was not present. The Director of Nursing confirmed that there was no coordinated plan of care available for review.
