So back story, working in LTC and had someone that’s a daily fall, fall on my shift and become hurt. I completed our fall protocol, and notified all correct people. After following up with hospital to check on admitting/sending back patient I put in following note:
”resident to be admitted to BLANK hospital with current diagnosis of BLANK”
I was reprimanded for doing so. However, we typically are expected to follow up on if our patient is to be sent back or admitted, along with placing a note. Now I’m being told I improperly acted because I should’ve kept that info privately to our DON.
Opinions?
