32 | Regarding the allegation that staff do not inform resident's authorized representative of incidents as required, according to reporting party it’s the health care workers or other visitors who end up telling the authorized representatives about the incidents.
Based on interviews and record reviews, incident reports are reported to the responsible parties. Five out of five family members interviewed mentioned that they do receive reports regarding the residents. Family members would either receive a call, a text message, voicemail or email from the facility. Six out of six staff members also mentioned the process that they follow for reporting which is to report incidents to either the Med Techs, Care Coordinator or Administrator who in turn does the incident reports and also contact the responsible parties. A record review of incident reports submitted by the facility shows that facility has contacted responsible parties. In these reports also shows the action plans that facility would do regarding the resident.
Therefore, based on the interviews conducted, files reviewed, and information collected, the above allegations are found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED, meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is no preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.
Report is reviewed and a copy is provided. |
