Interview on 12/15/2023 at 12:20 p.m. with the DON, he stated the MDS coding for Resident #40 was inaccurate and CNA F needed to be trained on what incontinent and continent was for the ADL sheet. He stated an audit needed to be completed on the MDS's where CNA F was working in order to correct other inaccurate MDS's. He stated that it was important to have accurate assessments because they affected the plan of care which showed what care was needed for a resident. He stated that he reviewed the MDS's for accuracy. Interview on 12/15/2023 at 12:25 p.m. the DON stated that the facility used the RAI manual as a reference and policy. Review of the CMS Long-Term Care Facility Resident Assessment Instrument 3.0 User's Manual Version 1.17.1, dated October 2019, revealed, an accurate assessment requires collecting information from multiple sources, some of which are mandated by regulations. Those sources must include the resident and direct care staff on all shifts, and should also include the resident ' s medical record, physician, and family, guardian, or significant other as appropriate or acceptable. It is important to note here that information obtained should cover the same observation period as specified by the MDS items on the assessment, and should be validated for accuracy (what the resident ' s actual status was during that observation period) by the IDT completing the assessment. As such, nursing homes are responsible for ensuring that all participants in the assessment process have the requisite knowledge to complete an accurate assessment.
