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. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on an interview and record review the facility failed to ensure the Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR- an assessment of necessity for special services relating to psychiatric and/or intellectual disability) assessment for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) was completed accurately. Resident 1's PASARR assessment did not reflect current diagnoses of Anxiety (a feeling of fear, dread, and uneasiness). This failure placed Resident 1 at risk to not receive care and services appropriate to her needs. Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission record titled admission Record dated 7/25/23, the record showed Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The record showed Resident 1 had diagnoses of Depression (loss of pleasure or interest in daily activities), Adult Failure to Thrive (physical decline, inactivity and depression), Mood Disorder (inconsistent emotions leading to inability to function), Anxiety Disorder, Psychosis (loss of contact with reality) and Cognitive Communicative Deficit (difficulty with thinking and language usage). During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to direct resident care) dated 5/23/23, showed Resident 1's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS- a mental status exam) was 12 of 15, indicating mildly impaired mental status. During an interview on 9/20/23 at 11:00 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the Admitting Nurse or the MDS Nurse completed the PASARR assessment for residents. During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/20/23 at 11:11 a.m., with the MDS Coordinator (MDSC 1), Resident 1's PASARR assessment dated [DATE] and Hospital Discharge notes dated 8/3/22 were reviewed. MDSC 1 stated he reviewed hospital discharge/transfer documentation to complete the PASARR assessment. MDSC 1 stated he did not always physically observe the residents to complete the PASARR assessment. MDSC 1 stated the hospital notes showed Resident 1 was admitted to the facility with a diagnosis of Anxiety Disorder. The PASARR assessment, under Section III-Serious Mental Illness Screen, 10. Does the individual have diagnosed mental disorder such as Depression, Anxiety, Panic, Schizophrenia/ Schizoaffective disorder, Psychotic, Delusional, and/or Mood Disorder? was marked as No . During an interview on 9/20/23 at 11:20 p.m., the MDSC 2 stated completing the PASARR assessment accurately was significant because it alerted the facilities if residents required additional behavioral services. MDSC 2 stated if assessment was not coded correctly, it placed the resident at risk to not receive necessary/additional behavioral services. 555104 Page 3 of 3
