Review of Social Worker Progress Notes dated 01/08/2025 indicated: Care plan reviewed, and resident denies feeling sad or anxious . Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 03/06/2025 at 01:52 PM. She stated The process of identifying residents with Mood Disorder or Intellectual Disability starts through PASARR because that will indicate if they are a level I or II. With that, we will know what to expect before they arrive. Together with the PASARR and the referral paperwork for the resident, it will give you the diagnosis and medications. Then after that, we can decide if we are able to take care of the patient or not. If some referral forms show they have high dosage of psychotropic meds, then I ask for psych consultations and notes from the nurses where the patient is coming from. If you do not ask for those behavior notes, then you would not know why they are being given psychotropic medications. We identify them according to their behaviors because then if the mental disorder behaviors are present, the PCP (Primary Care Physician) is called, and he or she will order a psychiatric consult. During a follow up Interview on 03/06/2025 at 02:18 PM , the DON stated: I spoke to the Psychiatric Nurse via telephone, and she stated anxiolytic medications should be a reason to update the PASRR, but she just forgot to update it in the form. Record Review of the facility's Policies and Procedures titled, Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) not dated revealed Policy Statement: Our facility admits only residents whose medical and nursing care needs can be met. Policy Interpretation and Implementation 1. All new admissions and readmissions are screened for mental disorders (MD), intellectual disabilities (ID) or related disorders (RD) per the Medicaid Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) process. (2) The social worker or designee is responsible for making referrals to the appropriate state-designated authority.
