Summary
The facility failed to provide the required transfer or discharge notice prior to a resident leaving the facility. During a record review, it was found that there was no documentation of a transfer or discharge notice for a resident who left the facility for a procedure and subsequently went home. When documentation was requested, both the DON and the Administrator confirmed that no transfer or discharge paperwork had been completed for this resident, as staff did not believe it was necessary in this situation. This deficiency was identified for one of two residents reviewed for closed records related to hospitalization and discharge.
