PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure a Level I Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) accurately reflected the presence of diagnosed mental disorders for 1 (Resident #53) of 6 sampled residents reviewed for PASRR requirements.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included: An admission Record revealed the facility admitted Resident #53 on 04/22/2022. According to the admission Record, the resident had admission diagnoses that included depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), both with an onset date of 04/27/2022. Resident #53's Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) Level I Screening, completed by the Medical Records Director (MRD) on 05/13/2022, indicated the Screening Type was an Initial Preadmission Screening (PAS). Section III - Serious Mental Illness Screen, question 10 was answered no to indicate the resident did not have a diagnosed mental disorder such as depression, anxiety, panic, schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder, psychotic, delusional, and/or mood disorder. The screening did not reflect the presence of Resident #53's diagnoses of depression or PTSD. As a result, the resident's Level I Screening was negative, and a Level II Evaluation was not required. Resident #53's medical record revealed no documented evidence that the facility had submitted a corrected Level I Screening for the resident. During an interview on 02/19/2025 at 11:07 AM, Medial Records Director (MRD) stated the Minimum Data Set (MDS) nurse was primarily responsible for the accuracy of PASRRs. During an interview on 02/19/2025 at 11:41 AM, MDS Nurse #4 stated Resident #53 had a diagnosis of PTSD when they were admitted to the facility. MDS Nurse #4 further stated that if Resident #53's Level I Screening had accurately reflected the resident's diagnosis of PTSD, it would have required a Level II Evaluation be completed. The Director of Nursing (DON) was interviewed on 02/19/2025 at 2:03 PM. The DON stated she expected staff to review all PASRRs for accuracy. The Administrator was interviewed on 02/19/2025 at 2:11 PM. The Administrator stated they expected PASRRs to be completed accurately.
