Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and interview the facility failed to ensure Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessments were accurately completed for Resident #30 and Resident #43. This affected two residents (#30 and #43) of 14 residents whose MDS 3.0 assessments were reviewed.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: 1. Review of Resident #30's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included hemodialysis, right above knee amputation, diabetes and chronic kidney failure. Review of the quarterly MDS 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed her cognition was intact and she required extensive assistance of two or more staff members for bed mobility and transfers. Further review of the history and physical dated 06/28/19 from the hospital revealed the resident was on her power scooter coming out of the bathroom and she used her leg to kick the door open. She accidentally hit the power button on her scooter and her leg somehow got smashed/caught in her door which caused a fracture. Review of the MDS 3.0 assessment, dated 07/05/19 revealed it did not capture fracture. Interview with MDS Supervisor #122 on 08/15/19 at 1:30 P.M. verified the MDS 3.0 assessment completed on 07/05/19 was not accurate to reflect the resident's fracture. 2. Record review revealed Resident #43 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including major depression and insomnia. Review of Resident #43's orders and Medication Administration Records (MAR) dated 07/06/19 to 07/12/19 revealed the resident had received five doses Ramelteon 8 milligrams (mg) at bedtime for insomnia. The Ramelteon was discontinued on 07/11/19. There was no other evidence the resident had received any other type of hypnotics from 07/06/19 to 07/12/19.

Interview on 08/14/19 at 3:57 P.M., with Registered Nurse (RN) #122 verified the 60-day MDS was coded inaccurately and should have reflected the resident received five days not seven days of hypnotics.
