F 0641 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 observation, clinical record review, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure the MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment accurately reflected the dental status for 1 (Resident #25) of 4 residents reviewed for accurate dental assessment. Inaccurate MDS assessments could result in a resident not receiving or a delay in the appropriate health care.

Review of the MDS, a resident assessment and care screening tool, dated 2/15/24 coded Resident #25's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score as 14 out of 15. A BIMS score of 13 to 15 meant the resident was cognitively intact and capable of daily decision making. Section L (Oral/Dental Status) stated Resident #25 had natural teeth which were not broken, cracked, uncleaned, or loose.

If a resident's teeth were noted to be missing, broken, cracked and/or discolored the facility staff would arrange for a dental consult as needed and/or requested by the resident or their legal representative.

In an interview with the SSD on 6/5/24 at 6:40 p.m., she confirmed Resident had missing, broken, cracked and discolored teeth. The SSD said the MDS dated [DATE] and Nursing admission Data Collection dated 2/13/24 for Resident #25 were coded incorrectly and did not reflect Resident #25's missing, broken, cracked, unclean, and/or loose teeth as required.

The MDS Coordinator reviewed Resident #25's medical record and said she had completed Resident #25's admission MDS assessment dated [DATE]. She confirmed she had coded Resident #25 as having her natural teeth which were not broken, missing, cracked and/or discolored teeth.
