The transfer or discharge is appropriate because the resident's health has improved sufficiently so the resident no longer needs the services provided by the long-term care facility; 3. The health of individuals in the long-term care facility would otherwise be endangered. B. In instances of a resident’s transfer, information provided to the receiving provider/facility must include a minimum of the following: 1. Contact information of the practitioner responsible for the care of the resident; 2. Resident representative information including contact information; 3. Advance Directive information; 4. All special instructions or precautions for ongoing care, as appropriate; 5. Comprehensive care plan goals; 6. All other necessary information, including a copy of the resident's discharge summary, and any other documentation, as applicable, to ensure a safe and effective transition of care.
