Residents Affected - Few
The facility did not have an accurate PASRR level 1 screening (PL1) for Resident #68 upon admission date of 05/12/23. This failure could place residents who have a diagnosis of mental disorder, developmental disability, or intellectual disability at risk for a diminished quality of life and not receiving necessary care and services in accordance with individually assessed needs.
Findings included: Record review of a face sheet dated 03/11/24 indicated Resident #68 was a [AGE] year-old male admitted [DATE] with diagnoses of Parkinson's disease (a disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement including tremors) and schizophrenia (a disorder that affects a person's ability to think, feel, and behave clearly). Record review of an admission MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident #68 was not PASSR positive and had a BIMS score of 12 indicating moderately impaired cognition. The MDS indicated Resident #68 had diagnoses of Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia and received an antipsychotic medication 7 of 7 days. Record review of the most recent quarterly MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident #68 had a BIMS score of 15 indicating intact cognition. He had diagnoses of Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia and received an antipsychotic medication. Record review of a care plan dated 05/15/23 indicated Resident #68 had a care plan indicating he was PASRR positive and would receive any PASRR service recommended. Record review of physician's orders dated 03/12/24 indicated Resident #68 was prescribed fluphenazine HCL (an antipsychotic medication to treat schizophrenia) 2.5 mg two times a day for schizophrenia with a start date of 11/27/23. Record review of a PASRR level 1 screening completed by the transferring facility dated 05/11/23 indicated Resident #68 was negative for mental illness, intellectual disability, and developmental disability and negative for dementia as the primary diagnosis. There was no PASRR Level II Screening or

Form 1012 (Mental Illness/Dementia Resident Review) found in the clinical record from the resident's admission on [DATE] to 03/12/24.

Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 03/12/24 02:10 p.m., MDS Nurse B said she completed Resident #68's PL1s and MDS' part time. She said she did not enter Resident #68's PL1 or MDS and was unaware he had a negative PL1. She said with his diagnosis he should have had a positive PL1. MDS Nurse B said it was overlooked. MDS Nurse B said Resident #68's PL1 should have been corrected before now. MDS Nurse B said the risk to residents of a PL1 form incorrect was a resident would not receive services he was entitled to. During an interview on 03/12/24 at 12:00 p.m., MDS Nurse A said she started in January 2024 and was now responsible for PASRR forms. She said MDS Nurse B was her backup. She said she was educated on PASSR forms. After Surveyor F intervention, MDS Nurse A completed a 1012 form and uploaded a new positive PL1 into the Long-Term Care system for Resident #68. MDS Nurse A said the risk of an incorrect PL1 was a resident could miss out on deserved services. She said Resident #68 received psych services currently. MDS Nurse A said Resident #68's PL1 should have been corrected sooner. During an interview on 03/12/24 2:40 p.m., the DON said MDS Nurses A and B were educated on PASRR forms and were each other's back up. She said MDS Nurse A was ultimately responsible for PASRR forms. She said Resident #68's form was overlooked. The DON said the risk to residents of a PL1 being incorrect was a resident may not receive services they were entitled to. The DON said her expectation was proper screening to determine PASRR eligibility. During an interview on 03/12/24 2:45 p.m., the Administrator said MDS Nurses A and B were educated on PASRR forms and were each other's back up. The Administrator said MDS Nurse A was ultimately responsible for PASRR forms. She said Resident #68's form was overlooked.
