The MDS 1 acknowledged the PASARR assessment did not accurately indicate Resident 30 had major depressive disorder, and anxiety disorder. MDS 1 stated it should have been identified that the PASARR did not include Resident 30's diagnoses for depression and anxiety and a revision to the PASARR should have been done, but was not. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, admission Criteria, revised March 2019, the policy indicated, .9. All new admissions and readmissions are screened for mental disorders (MD), intellectual disabilities (ID), or related disorders (RD) per the Medicaid Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR) process. A. The facility conducts a Level 1 PASARR screen for all potential admissions .to determine if the individual meets the criteria for a MD, ID or RD. B.
