15 GUAM MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AUTHORITY 655000 499 NORTH SABANA DRIVE BARRIGADA GU 96913 2017-08-24 205 B 0 1 10C511 Based on record review and interview the facility failed to ensure 1 of 8 sample residents (closed record 8) received proper notification of the facility bed hold policy on admission or during any time during the resident's stay at the facility. Failure to issue notification of information regarding the bed hold policy has the potential to infringe on the resident's rights. Findings include: On 08/23/2017 the facility policy titled Skilled Nursing Unit (SNU) Notice of Bed-Hold and Readmission Policy was reviewed. The policy indicates Upon admission and before a resident is transferred to a hospital or goes to on therapeutic leave, GMHA's (Guam Memorial Hospital Authority) Skilled Nursing Unit will provide written information to the resident and a family member or legal representative that specifies the facility Bed-Hold Policy. The policy also specifies Obtain resident, family member or legal representative sign (sic) form indicating receipt of bed-hold information. On that same date during a concurrent close record review and interview with Staff 18, she validated Resident 8's close record did not contain a signed bed-hold form and acknowledged it would be difficult to ascertain if the facility policy was followed. 2020-09-01
