Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure medical records containing protected health information (PHI) were not accessible to individuals who do not have the right to view the protected health information, for one resident (Resident #23) when staff provided an after-visit summary for Resident #23 to the family of a different resident. The facility census was 159.Review of the Know Your Rights statement, posted at the front entrance of the facility showed resident rights included confidentiality.
Medical, personal, social or financial affairs should be considered privileged information. During an
interview on 12/31/25 at 1:30 P.M., the family member for Resident #10 said a couple weeks ago on December 17th, the resident's nurse handed him/her the after-visit summary for Resident #23. The family member told the staff person about the mistake, and the staff person told the family member that he/she did not care and did not want the paperwork back and the family member could do whatever he/she wanted to with the documents. The family member still has the after-visit summary for Resident #23's doctor visit that includes the resident's name, date of birth , and follow-up testing that was recommended and he/she would provide a copy to the surveyor. Review of the record provide by Resident #10's family member, showed an after-visit summary dated December (the rest of the date not legible). Only the front page of a multi-page
record was provided. The front page of the record included the resident's full name, medical record number, date of birth , referrals for an MRI of the spine and the pain clinic, and results of an x-tray completed during
the visit. Review of Resident #23's medical record, showed no after-visit summary dated December matching the record sent, available in his/her medical record. During an interview on 12/31/25 at 3:40 P.M.,
the Administrator and Director of Nursing (DON) said only the residents, their guardian, and power of attorney (POA) should have access to a resident's medical record. The Administrator said if staff find out
they accidentally gave someone's medical records to the wrong family member she would expect them to take the paperwork back. Management then must notify the legal team and notify the family. 2697454
