Record review of Resident #33's prior MDS (quarterly), ARD/Target date 12/22/2023, revealed in Section C, Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS), the score was 00, indicating the resident had severely impaired cognition. During an interview with MDS LVN E on 02/16/2024 at 5:00 PM, MDS LVN E revealed she was responsible for completing MDS assessments for managed care residents and the social worker was responsible for the assessments for long-term care residents. MDS LVN E further stated she had been employed by the facility since June 2023, was able to complete MDS assessments for all the residents and had not done so due to a miscommunication. During an interview with the MDS Resource on 02/16/2024 at 5:30 PM, the MDS Resource revealed it was concerning the BIMS assessments were not completed for several residents. There was more than one MDS LVN on the staff and it was clear the teamwork was not effective. There was a change in social worker; however, even if there was no social worker, one MDS coordinator could have completed all the assessments, as the assessment only takes about five minutes. During an interview with the DON and MDS LVN F on 02/16/2024 at 5:58 PM, the DON and MDS LVN F, who was contacted by phone, revealed the residents' BIMS on the assessments was not completed prior to the ARD and should have been.

Resident #388 stated he was given paperwork to take with him to the dialysis clinic by the facility nurse.

Resident #388 then retrieved the Renal Dialysis Communication Form, dated 2/12/24 from a bag sitting on the resident's bed. During an interview with LVN A on 2/16/24 at 9:28 a.m., LVN A revealed all the facilities associated with the company followed the same policy and procedure for dialysis. LVN A stated, before a resident went to dialysis, it was the facility's job to ensure the top portion of the Renal Dialysis Communication Form was completed before the resident went to dialysis. LVN A further revealed, once the resident returned from dialysis, the facility had to ensure the middle section of the form was completely filled out by dialysis staff and the bottom section was completed by the facility staff upon the resident's return from dialysis. LVN A stated, it the middle section of the Renal Dialysis Communication Form, reserved for the dialysis staff, was incomplete, the facility staff should be notifying the dialysis clinic either by phone or fax to obtain the information. LVN A stated the Renal Dialysis Communication Form had to be filled out completely before it was turned over to medical records. LVN A stated it was important to complete the Renal Dialysis Communication Form because it served as communication between the facility and the dialysis clinic on the resident's care and to document any significant change, such as a new order. An observation and interview on 2/16/24 at 10:05 a.m., the DON revealed the residents who received dialysis treatments were given a yellow folder which included a face sheet in case the resident was transported to the hospital, and the Renal Dialysis Communication Form. The DON further revealed, the top section of the form was filled out by the facility nursing staff, the middle section was completed by the dialysis clinic staff and the facility nursing staff completed the bottom section of the form upon the resident's return. The DON stated the former ADON used to be in charge of taking the Renal Dialysis Communication Form, checked them for completeness and then sent the forms to the medical records department to scan into the resident's record. The DON, after reviewing Resident #388, #9 and #65's Renal Dialysis Communication Forms revealed there were several missing items on most of all 3 sections of the forms. The DON stated she had been responsible for checking the Renal Dialysis Communication Forms for completeness but stated, I'm gonna be honest, I have not checked them this week. The DON further stated she wanted to check the form before they get scanned into the computer for completeness. The DON stated, after reviewing the Renal Dialysis Communication Forms revealed, It appeared the (former) ADON was making sure we were getting the communication sheets but not checking if they were actually completed. The DON revealed it was important to ensure the Renal Dialysis Communication Forms were complete because it gave information on how well the resident tolerated dialysis or how to take care of the resident if there should be any complications. The DON stated, the problem is we're not checking to make sure the form is completed, and the proper person signs it.
