40105 Based on facility policy review, medical record review, and interview, the agency failed to notify the physician to obtain an order for a urinalysis (UA) for 1 patient (Patient #1) of 3 patients reviewed. The findings include: Review of the agency policy titled, "Identification, Prevention, And Treatment Of Secondary Symptoms," revised 5/11/2020, showed "...Symptom control is the foundation of good hospice care...Care will be directed t optimize the patient's comfort and dignity through appropriate treatment of secondary symptoms as well as aggressively managing thee symptoms...The hospice interdisciplinary group will use published standards of care in the treatment of patient symptoms...Interdisciplinary group members will report to the Case Manager symptoms they may observe that are changes or are new from the patient's comprehensive assessments...The Case Manager will receive any and all information and will notify the attending physician...Orders will be obtained as necessary..." Record review revealed Patient #1 was admitted to the agency on 1/14/2022 and discharged on 1/30/2022, she was readmitted on 1/31/2022 and discharged due to moving out of the service area on 3/3/2022 with diagnoses including Senile Degeneration of the Brain, Dementia With Behavioral Disturbance, Anxiety Disorder, Depression, Insomnia, Urinary Tract Infection, Dysuria, and Repeated falls. Review of Patient #1's coordination note dated 3/1/2022, showed "...CG [caregiver] asked for a UA to be done because PT [Patient] is getting agitated, fighting, pushing, being uncooperative which she does when she gets UTI reports CG. Will contact MD [Medical Doctor]..." Record review showed no documentation the physician had been notified of the caregiver's request for a UA to be obtained and no documentation of a physician's order to obtain a UA after the 3/1/2022 coordination note. During a telephone interview on 6/8/2022 at 9:37 AM, Registered Nurse (RN) #1 stated she did not remember if she called the Physician to obtain an order for a UA. She stated she would have documented if she had called the physician even if he did not order a UA.

During a telephone interview on 6/8/2022 at 1:51 PM, the MD stated he would expect the nurse to have called and reported the request for the UA. He stated he would have given the order for a UA to be obtained if the nurse had notified him of the caregiver's request.
