“Based on documentation review, record review, and interview, the manager of an assisted living center who contacted emergency responders on behalf of a resident failed to provide to the emergency responders a written document that included all information required in A.R.S. \'a7 36-420.04, for one of three residents sampled. The deficient practice posed a risk if the emergency responder was not aware of critical health information for the resident. Findings include: 1. A review of facility documentation revealed an incident report dated November 8, 2024. The incident report revealed the facility called emergency medical services due to R2 not feeling well and back pain expressed. 2.

In an interview, E1 acknowledged the documentation provided to emergency medical services did not include all the information required in A.R.S. \'a7 36-420.04.”
