Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to include the resident's family in a physician follow-up visit with the neurosurgeon's office, at their request, after the resident's back surgery for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for physician appointments. (Resident B)The findings include:During an interview with Resident B's family member on 8/11/25 at 1:30 p.m., she indicated the family and Resident B had a virtual doctor's appointment with neurosurgery scheduled for 7/28/25 at 9:15 a.m. Resident B's family member indicated Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) 3 had come into Resident B's room the morning of the appointment and mentioned something about a tablet to use for the appointment and Resident B's family member indicated she was not sure how to use the tablet. So, she wanted LPN 3 to have the doctor's office call her phone because the family, as well as the resident, wanted to speak to the surgeon about Resident B's fall the day before and not having the required back brace at the facility. The family member indicated

the resident was capable of participating in the virtual meeting and had questions and so did the family. The family member indicated LPN 3 took the phone call without including the family as requested. An Inpatient Discharge Instructions form was provided by the Executive Director on 8/12/25 at 10:30 a.m. It indicated Resident B was to receive a virtual home visit follow up appointment with neurosurgery on 7/28/25 at 9:15 a.m.During an interview with LPN 3 on 8/12/25 at 11:12 a.m., she indicated Resident B's wife was who set up the virtual appointment at the hospital and was unsure what phone number she gave them. LPN 3 indicated that any appointments for residents are recorded on their unit calendar. The unit calendar, for 7/28/25, indicated Resident B had a neurosurgeon virtual visit and the phone number of the neurosurgeon's office at 9:15 a.m. LPN 3 indicated she did not know how to use the tablet for virtual doctor's visits. When the neurosurgeon's office called the facility she took the call, provided information, and received new orders but did not think the family needed to be in on the phone call.During an interview with

the Director of Nursing (DON) on 8/12/25 at 2:06 p.m., she indicated physician's office usually will call the facility and set up a virtual office visit. The physician's office will provide us with an email/code for our tablet so everyone can be involved.During an interview with the Executive Director (ED) on 8/12/25 at 2:00 p.m.,

he indicated the facility did not have a policy regarding virtual doctor's appointments. This citation relates to Intake 2578556. 3.1-3(n)(3)
