The NHA stated the Social Service department was responsible for ensuring new admissions had a PASARR and if any corrections were needed the Social Worker would go through the appropriate agency. The Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) reviews the PASARR of every new admission. The IDT reviews History & Physical (H&P) from hospital, medications, and follows instructions on the PASARR form. The NHA stated the PASARR process was an ongoing issue with PASARR's. The audit included date of admission, name of resident, if the PASARR was correct of not, if not correct the IDT reviewed the originating location, who reviewed the PASARR and the reason it was incorrect.

Social Services will coordinate and/ or inform the appropriate agency to conduct the evaluation and obtain results if: a. it is learned after admission that the pre-admission screening and resident review (PASARR) well it's not completed or is incorrect, or Residents Affected - Some b. there is significant change in status that results in new evidence of possible mental disorder, intellectual disability, or a related condition. 2. Social services will review to determine appropriate care needs. a. Refer to the appropriate state designated authority when a patient is identified as having an evident or possible MD, ID, or related condition. b. Incorporate recommendations into the patient's assessment, care planning, and transitions of care. 3. The PASARR will be placed in the admissions or legal section of the patient's medical record. 4. Social Services will be responsible for: a. coordinating updates as needed and per state requirements. b.
