This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by:
Based on record review and interview the hospital failed to ensure the Home Health Agencies requested to be listed as available before placing them on a list to present to patients making post-acute care arrangements. Findings: Review of the documentation provided and medical records revealed a list of Home Health Agencies was provided to each patient prior to discharge to assist the patient in finding post-acute care.
