She said due to the NF not having a Clinical Marketer, she was asked by the COO if she could assist with referrals.
She said she was familiar with the referral process from prior experience.
Attempted interview on 11/06/25 at 11:27AM via phone with the NP, no answer, left voicemail with call back number.
Interview on 11/06/25 at 11:55AM with LVN F, she said she worked the morning shift from 6AM-6PM full time. LVN F said she had been working at the NF for almost a year. LVN F said if a resident was admitted to the NF without the NF receiving a report on the resident, she would immediately call the hospital to get a full report on the resident. LVN F said she would inform the doctor, Administrator and the ADON since the facility did not have a DON at present what had taken place. LVN F said whenever a resident missed a scheduled dose of their antibiotic therapy, it placed the resident at risk of the infection developing resistance to the antibiotic causing the resident to be given a stronger antibiotic to treat the infection. LVN F said it also placed other residents at risk of encountering that same bacteria.
Interview on 11/06/25 at 2:03PM with Resident #1's Doctor, he said he was notified on 11/06/25 by the ADON that Resident #1 had missed several doses of his IV antibiotic therapy. Dr. said because resident was already receiving frequent scheduled doses at the hospital, he was not concerned about the missed doses and would extend the length of days for resident to receive the IV antibiotic therapy and continue to have the staff monitor resident vital signs and order labs as needed.
The doctor said more than likely the infection had resolved itself, but antibiotic therapy was extended a little longer for precautionary measure due to resident having the following tubes (tracheostomy, gastrostomy, and Foley catheter).
The Dr. said it was the NP that the facility would first call upon admission and then he would follow-up.
The Doctor said the NP had sent him a message on 11/06/25 in the morning informing him that Resident #1 had returned to the facility and what antibiotics he was receiving for diagnosis of pneumonia and what bacteria was being treated.
The Doctor said Resident #1 had a history of sepsis and going in and out of the hospital.
The Doctor said Resident #1 would continue to get infections due to having tubes inside of his body which the body looks at as a foreign object and would begin to attack.
The Doctor said it was an ongoing process.
The Doctor said the infection would go away until another infection occurred and had to be treated.
The Doctor said eventually no antibiotic would help and Resident #1 would eventually pass away.
The Administrator was asked for the NF policy on Pharmacy Services on 11/06/25 at 4:30PM
Record review of the NF policy on Resident Rights revised June 06, 2025 reflected in part: .Resident has the right to receive the services and /or items included in the plan of care.
