42460 Based on record reviews and staff interviews the hospice failed to ensure changes to the hospice plan of care were discussed with the patient representative and nursing home representative for one of three patient records reviewed. Finding include: Review of patient # 1 medical record (dates 7/21/20-8/3/20) revealed the patient was declining and beginning to develop skin problems. At the care plan review meeting on 7/22/20 the Interdisciplinary group (IDG) discussed the patient's condition and care plan. It was determined to add a low air loss mattress to the patient's bed. This change was signed by the IDG and the Medical Director on 7/22/20. However, there was no documentation on patient #1's medical record showing any collaboration or discussion between the hospice, the nursing home, or the family related to the implementation of the mattress. On 7/31/20 the Registered Nurse (RN) documented the low air loss mattress was in place. There was no other documentation referring to the mattress. In a phone interview with the patient's primary RN on 8/27/20 at 11:33 a.m., the RN stated she had not discussed adding the mattress to the patient's plan of care with the family. In an email dated 8/27/20 at 4:51 p.m. from the Assistant Director of Health Services (ADHS), the ADHS confirmed there was no other documentation on the medical records referring to the implementation of the low air loss mattress.
