F 0644 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for services as needed. Based on record review, review of facility policy and procedures and staff interview, the facility failed to complete an accurate level I Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) for 1 (Resident #38) of 1 sampled resident with a diagnosis of severe mental health requiring treatment. The failure to obtain a PASRR has a potential to prevent the resident form obtaining appropriate specialized treatments for residents with severe mental health issues. The findings Included: The Policy Preadmission Screening and Resident Review created 03/2019 and last revised on 10/2022 read, The purpose of the Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) is to ensure individuals who are being considered for placement in a Medicaid-certified Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) regardless of payor source are as follows: Evaluated for an intellectual or related (ID), serious mental Illness (SMI) . Offered the most integrated setting appropriate for long- term care needs (including determining whether a Skilled Nursing Facility is appropriate. Able to receive specialized services as indicated .1) The Licensed Nursing Home will obtain a level one PASRR on all new residents prior to admission to the Licensed Nursing Home . In the event, the resident is admitted from another nursing facility or acute care facility. The sending facility will send the Level I PASRR to the Licensed Nursing Home . The Licensed Nursing Home will complete a Level I PASSR on a current resident if the resident: a. Exhibits behavioral, psychiatric or mood related symptoms suggesting SMI . Review of the clinical record for Resident #38 revealed the resident transferred from another skilled nursing facility on 6/14/24. Admitting diagnoses included Psychotic Disorder with delusions due to known physiological condition, and Schizoaffective Disorder, Bipolar Type. The Psychiatric Progress Note dated 6/25/24 read, A moderate level of medical decision-making was necessary due to the patient's multiple psychiatric conditions specifically major depressive disorder, schizoaffective disorder d/o, and psychotic disorder. This necessitates regular clinical evaluations and places them at a moderate risk of deteriorating mental health and adverse health outcomes without adequate care. Review Of the Level I PASRR which was transferred with Resident #38 on 6/14/24 was dated 6/7/18 and documented at that time Resident #38 had no diagnosis of SMI. The admission Record documented from the transferring facility showed Resident #38 was diagnosed with Psychotic Disorder with Delusions on 10/25/2018. She was diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder on 10/27/20. She did not have a diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder noted in her medical record until 6/25/24 when she was seen for a psychiatric assessment at the current facility. On 11/9/24 at approximately 10:30 a.m., in an interview the Minimum Data Set (MDS) Coordinator verified the PASRR from the previous facility dated 6/7/18 was not accurate. It was not updated to reflect Resident #38's diagnoses of Psychotic Disorder with delusions (10/25/18), Schizoaffective Disorder (10/27/20). The MDS Coordinator verified Resident #38 was currently being treated for SMI and the facility and did not have an accurate Level I PASSR.
