32 | Staff discouraged a medical professional to see a resident (Resident 1).
During the investigative process, five staff persons and other persons were interviewed. Two staff persons that were working during the time of the incident were not available for an interview. Numerous documents were obtained to include Physician’s Report, Admission Agreement, Medications List, Resident Roster, Death Report, Incident Report, Staff Roster, Police Reports and Fire Department Reports.
During the interview process, it was reported that a medical professional went to the facility to visit a resident. Staff at the facility advised the medical professional that several residents in the facility had flu symptoms and that the resident that she wanted to visit was one of the residents with the flu. The staff stated that they asked the medical professional if she would like to come back another day due to residents having the flu, and the medical professional agreed. It was stated that the medical professional visited on 03/23/22; however, in the early morning of 03/24/22, the resident worsened. The staff did not know that the resident would become worse the day after the medical professional made the visit. Staff did not discourage the medical professional from visiting, but rather advised the medical professional that residents in the facility had the flu.
Although the allegation may have happened, or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur; therefore, the allegation findings are Unsubstantiated.
