During the transfer process, what documentation must be present in the medical record?

The correct answer includes documentation that is crucial for ensuring continuity of care during a resident's transfer to another healthcare institution. This information helps to provide a comprehensive picture of the resident's current status and supports effective communication between facilities. Documenting communication with the receiving institution ensures that there is an acknowledgment of the transfer and that the receiving team is prepared for the resident’s arrival.

Including the date and time of the transfer is essential for record-keeping and helps to clarify when the transfer occurred for both legal purposes and ongoing care management. Noting the mode of transportation is important, as it can affect the resident's condition during the moving process, and provides context on how the resident was transferred. Finally, documenting which employee accompanied the resident ensures that there is accountability and a point of contact should any questions arise after the transfer.

These elements collectively ensure that the resident's care does not lapse and that the receiving institution has all the necessary information to provide appropriate follow-up care. Other choices lack comprehensive documentation and do not cover the necessary aspects that contribute to effective communication and care continuity during a transfer.
