The manual indicated, In addition, an accurate assessment requires collecting information from multiple sources, some of which are mandated by regulations. Per the manual, It is important to note here that information obtained should cover the same observation period as specified by the MDS items on the assessment and should be validated for accuracy (what the resident's actual status was during that observation period) by the IDT completing the assessment. As such, nursing homes are responsible for ensuring that all participants in the assessment process have the requisite knowledge to complete an accurate assessment. 1.

According to the admission Record, the resident had a medical history that included diagnoses of unspecified bipolar disorder (onset date 10/03/2019), recurrent major depressive disorder (onset date 10/04/2014), and unspecified anxiety disorder (onset date 10/04/2014). Residents Affected - Few A quarterly MDS, with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 08/18/2024, revealed Resident #18 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 00, which indicated the resident had severe cognitive impairment. The MDS also revealed the resident had diagnoses of anxiety disorder, depression, and bipolar disorder. Resident #18's care plan included a focus area revised on 08/14/2024, that indicated the resident received an antidepressant medication related to depression as evidenced by verbalizations of sadness. The care plan included a focus area revised on 09/18/2024, that indicated Resident #18 received an antipsychotic medication for a diagnosis of bipolar disorder as evidence by the resident continuously shouted out when needs were met. The care plan included a focus area revised on 08/14/2024 that indicated the resident was on a medication for mood stabilization related to behavioral disturbances that included striking out. Resident #18's Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) Level I Screening Document, dated 11/05/2020, revealed the screening was Negative; there was no reason documented as to why the screening was negative. Further review revealed the area to document mental illness, and psychotropic medications had not been completed. During an interview on 11/07/2024 at 8:40 AM, the Business Office Manager (BOM) stated residents' PASRRs were completed by the hospital and sent over with the referral or the facility was able to print the PASRR from a website. The BOM stated she was unsure who was responsible for checking the PASRR for accuracy. The BOM stated after admission it was the responsibility of the MDS nurse to check the PASRR to ensure all diagnoses had been included. The MDS Coordinator was interviewed on 11/07/2024 at 8:55 AM. The MDS Coordinator stated the PASRR was completed at the hospital prior to the resident's admission, the facility printed the PASRR, and she was responsible for making sure the PASRR was completed. The MDS Coordinator stated she was also responsible for making sure all needed diagnoses were included and accurate and if the PASRR was not accurate she completed a new one. The MDS Coordinator reviewed Resident #18's PASRR and stated without the resident's psychiatric diagnoses the Level I PASRR for the resident was inaccurate and therefore a Level II PASRR had not been completed. The Director of Nursing (DON) was interviewed on 11/07/2024 at 1:11 PM. The DON stated she expected the PASRR to be accurate and to include accurate diagnoses. The DON stated if Resident #18's PASRR had been accurate the resident would have triggered for a Level II PASRR to be completed. The DON stated she did not think having a completed Level II PASSR would have had influence in the care provided for Resident #18. The Administrator was interviewed on 11/07/2024 at 1:50 PM and stated she expected documentation to be accurate since the documentation affected resident care.

According to the admission Record, Resident #52 had a medical history that included diagnoses of unspecified anxiety disorder, recurrent major depressive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), unspecified obsessive-compulsive disorder, and unspecified bipolar disorder. An annual Minimum Data Set (MDS), with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 07/08/2024, revealed Resident #52 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, which indicated the resident had intact cognition. The MDS did not reveal Resident #52 had a Level II PASRR. The MDS revealed Resident #52 rejected care one to three days during the assessment period. The MDS revealed Resident #52 had diagnoses that included anxiety disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. Resident #52's Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) Individualized Determination Report, dated 10/17/2022, revealed that personal goals were considered in making recommendations for specialized services and included increased contact with the resident's family, address the resident's weight concerns, improve the resident's dentition, improve hearing and mobility, request in home care assistance, podiatry services, improve memory, reduce depression, improve well-being, and provide a neurological assessment. Resident #52's care plan revealed no evidence of a focus area for Resident #52's Level II PASRR and the personal goals and individualized recommendations given for specialized services included on the resident's 10/17/2022 Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) Individualized Determination Report. The MDS Coordinator was interviewed on 11/07/2024 at 8:55 AM. The MDS Coordinator stated because Resident #52 had a Level II PASRR with additional services, the Level II PASRR designation and the additional services should have been care planned. The MDS Coordinator stated she was responsible for most of the care plans, and it was her fault Resident #52's Level II PASRR had not been included in the resident's care plan. The Director of Nursing (DON) was interviewed on 11/07/2024 at 1:24 PM. The DON stated if Resident #52 had a Level II PASRR with specific recommendations from the reviewer she expected both the Level II designation, and the recommendations would be care planned. Based on observation, interview, record review, and facility policy review, the facility failed to have a person-centered comprehensive care plan for 2 (Resident #44 and Resident #52) of 22 sampled residents. Specifically, the facility failed to include the use of a non-invasive mechanical ventilator for Resident #44 and Level II Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) results for Resident #52 on the comprehensive care plan. Findings included: A facility policy titled, Care Planning, revised 03/01/2014, indicated, It is the policy of this Facility to provide person-centered, comprehensive and interdisciplinary care that reflects best practice standards for meeting health, safety, psychosocial, behavioral, and environmental needs of residents in order to obtain or maintain the highest physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being.
