Findings included: During an interview on 11/20/2024 at 10:16 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) indicated the facility did not have a policy on MDS accuracy. 1. An admission Record revealed the facility admitted Resident #72 on 10/12/2024. According to the admission Record, the resident had a medical history that included diagnoses of bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. An admission MDS, with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 10/19/2024, revealed Resident #72 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, which indicated the resident had intact cognition. The MDS revealed that the resident was not considered by the state Level II Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) process to have a serious mental illness and/or intellectual disability or a related condition. A letter from the California Department of Health Care Services, dated 09/26/2024, revealed a Level II evaluation was conducted on 09/26/2024 and specialized services were recommended. During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 8:43 AM, the MDS Coordinator stated she reviewed the electronic and paper chart, observed the resident, and interviewed the resident and staff to complete an accurate MDS. The MDS Coordinator indicated that to complete the admission MDS she reviewed the hospital documentation and the resident's history and physical. During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 9:35 AM, the DON stated she expected for the MDS to be accurate. The DON stated it was important for information to be true and accurate because the MDS needed to reflect the actual state of the resident. During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 9:54 AM, the MDS Coordinator stated Resident #72's PASRR Level II was missed and should have been coded on the resident's admission MDS. During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 10:06 AM, the Administrator stated he expected the MDS to be completed accurately and in a timely manner. The Administrator stated it was important to capture the correct information so the MDS would be accurate. 2. An admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident #65 on 07/02/2024.

Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for services as needed. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, record review, and facility policy review, the facility failed to initiate a Level I Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) for a resident who received a psychiatric diagnosis, prior to readmission, for 1 (Resident #16) of 3 residents reviewed for PASRR.
Findings included: An undated facility policy titled, PASRR Completion Policy revealed, The Center will make sure that all admissions have the appropriate Patient Assessment and Resident Review (PASRR) completed. An admission Record revealed the facility originally admitted Resident #16 on 01/10/2024 and re-admitted the resident on 08/01/2024. According to the admission Record, the resident had a medical history that included diagnosis of dementia with behavioral disturbance. A Medicare 5-Day Minimum Data Set (MDS), with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 08/05/2024, revealed Resident #16 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 3, which indicated the resident had severe cognitive impairment. The MDS indicated the resident had active psychiatric diagnoses of anxiety and psychotic disorder. Per the MDS, the resident received antipsychotic and antianxiety medication during the assessment timeframe. Resident #16's care plan included a focus area revised on 01/29/2024, that indicated the resident had the potential to be physically aggressive towards staff. Interventions directed staff to analyze the time of day, place, circumstances, triggers, and what de-escalates the behavior (initiated 01/29/2024); to assess and address for contributing sensory deficits (initiated 01/29/2024); and when the resident becomes agitated, intervene before agitation escalates (initiated 01/29/2024). The care plan included a focus area initiated on 06/07/2024, that indicated the resident used psychotropic medications related to psychosis, as evidenced by verbal and physical aggression, sexual outbursts, and the inability to redirect. Interventions directed staff to administer psychotropic medications as ordered by the physician, and to monitor for side effects and effectiveness (initiated 06/07/2024). Resident #16's Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) Level I Screening, dated 12/28/2023, prior to Resident #16's first admission to the facility, indicated the resident did not have a serious diagnosed mental disorder. The Level I Screening indicated a Level II Mental Health Evaluation was not required. Resident #16's Census List, dated 11/19/2024, revealed Resident #16 was transferred to the hospital on [DATE] and discharged from the facility after seven days, on 07/19/2024. The Census List further revealed Resident #16 was re-admitted to the facility on [DATE]. An IDT [Interdisciplinary Team] Review note dated 07/11/2024 revealed Resident #16 was sent to a facility for psychiatric care for two to four weeks because of aggressive behaviors and would return to the facility when completed. A General Note dated 08/02/2024 revealed Resident #16 arrived back at the facility and was adjusting well.

A hospital Discharge Summary dated 08/01/2024, revealed Resident #16 had a new diagnosis of unspecified psychosis, in addition to an existing diagnosis of dementia with behavioral disturbance. Resident #16's medical record revealed no other PASRR had been completed since re-admission to the facility on [DATE], and no evidence that indicated a referral was made to the appropriate state-designated authority after receiving a new psychiatric diagnosis. During an interview on 11/20/2024 at 10:16 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated a new PASRR should have been completed when Resident #16 was readmitted to the facility in August 2024. During a subsequent interview on 11/20/2024 at 11:15 AM, the DON stated she was going to have the Social Services Director (SSD) submit a new Level I Screening, as it should have been done when the resident returned from a psychiatric stay with a diagnosed mental illness of psychosis. During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 8:23 AM, the SSD stated the Level I Screening was to be completed at the hospital prior to a resident's admission to the facility, and the Business Office Manager (BOM) would make sure the paperwork was present prior to admission. During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 8:27 AM, the BOM stated the hospital completed the PASRR prior to a resident coming to a skilled nursing facility. The BOM stated that the accuracy of the PASRR was assessed by the DON, and if the resident had an issue with mental illness after admission, the facility would initiate an additional PASRR. She also stated if the resident triggered a positive Level I PASRR and required a Level II assessment, both should be completed at the hospital prior to admission. During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 8:32 AM, the DON stated all admissions were reviewed for medications and diagnoses that would trigger a positive Level I PASRR prior to admission. She stated the Admissions Director would bring the PASRR to her to review if it did not match the diagnoses available in the resident's medical history. The DON stated that if the PASRR was incorrect, the facility would notify the hospital's PASRR department so they could educate their team on what was incorrect. The DON stated there was a lack of training regarding Resident #16's PASRR. The DON stated the facility Resident #16 was sent to for psychiatric inpatient care did not participate in the PASRR program and did not complete a Level I assessment prior to discharge. She stated it was the responsibility of the facility to complete the Level I PASRR when the resident returned. The DON stated they should have completed another assessment for Resident #16, and the facility would start the assessment process. The DON stated her expectation going forward was for the PASRR to be reviewed by the Admissions Director, who is a nurse, prior to admission. The DON stated if there was a question or concern regarding a medication or diagnosis, she could get clarification. She stated she reviewed admissions as well and corrected or initiated a new PASRR if needed and notified the hospital of errors. The DON stated the PASRR system needed work and more training so the facility could have a good and functioning PASRR program. During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 10:06 AM, the Administrator stated the PASRRs should come from the hospital, and if a Level II was needed, it should happen at the hospital prior to admission. He stated the PASRRs needed to be accurate with proper psychiatric diagnoses and he would defer to the DON on the importance of the PASRR process.

The BOM further stated the facility accepted the hospital-completed Level I PASRR for admission. During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 8:32 AM, the DON stated the BOM had access to the PASRR screening system, and she reviewed them prior to a resident's admission for accuracy. The DON further stated Resident #24's schizophrenia diagnosis was not listed on their Level I PASRR and that it needed
