This deficient practice could result in a delay of care. Findings include: Resident #36 was admitted on (MONTH) 13, 2012, with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A physician's orders [REDACTED]. Review of the care plan dated (MONTH) 8, (YEAR) regarding hospice services revealed interventions to consult with the resident's physician and social services to have hospice care for the resident in the facility and working with nursing staff to provide maximum comfort for the resident. A physician's orders [REDACTED]. A social service progress note dated (MONTH) 23, 2019, revealed the IDT (interdisciplinary team) had met for a care conference. The note included a discussion of the resident's change in Hospice services. The note did not include a discussion about revising the care plan. However, review of the resident's current care plan did not reveal the care plan had been revised to reflect the resident's discharge from hospice. An interview was conducted on (MONTH) 6, 2019 at 10:39 AM with the Director of Nursing (DON/staff #56). She said that facility's protocol and her expectation would include revising the resident's care plan to reflect the change in hospice services. The DON also said their policy states any member of the IDT could make that revision. On (MONTH) 7, 2019 at 09:40 AM, an interview was conducted with a licensed practical nurse (LPN/staff #62). The LPN stated that if a resident is admitted or discharged from hospice services, it would trigger a change of condition due to a change of services. She stated that the MDS (minimum data set) coordinator would revise the care plan. Review of the facility's policy for care planning revealed the resident's plan of care is reviewed and revised on an ongoing basis, quarterly at a minimum and/or as needed with changes in condition. 2020-09-01
