Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to accurately complete the Minimum Data Set (MDS, an
assessment tool) for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1). This failure had the potential to
compromise the facility's ability to develop care plans and implement interventions to meet the resident's
needs.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
1. Review of Resident 1's medical record indicated the resident was admitted on [DATE] and had diagnoses
including hemiplegia/hemiparesis (one side of the body is paralyzed or weak), difficulty in walking, and
muscle weakness.
Review of Resident 1's Change in Condition Evaluation, dated 8/22/24, indicated Resident 1 had an
unwitnessed fall.
Resident 1's MDS, dated [DATE], was reviewed. Section J1800 of the MDS was designated to indicate if
the resident had any falls during the specified time frame. The individual who completed the MDS coded 0,
which indicated the resident did not have any falls during the specified time frame.
During an interview and concurrent record review with the MDS nurse (MDSN) on 1/29/25 at 10:37 a.m.,
the MDSN reviewed Resident 1's medical record and confirmed the resident had a fall on 8/22/24. The
MDSN stated this fall should have been coded on the MDS dated [DATE], but confirmed it was not. The
MDSN confirmed the individual who completed the MDS should have coded 1 in section J1800 to indicate
that Resident 1 did have a fall during the specified time frame.

2. Review of Resident 1's Change in Condition Evaluation, dated 11/26/24, indicated Resident 1 had an
open wound on her left arm due to pressure from a splint (a strip of rigid material used to immobilize a body
part).
Review of Resident 1's treatment administration record (TAR) indicated the resident received treatment for
the above left arm pressure injury (injury to the skin and underlying tissue as a result of prolonged
pressure) from 11/28/24 to 12/17/24.
Resident 1's MDS, dated [DATE], was reviewed. Section M0210 of the MDS was designated to indicate if
the resident had any unhealed pressure injuries. The individual who completed the MDS coded 0,
