Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of two sampled residents (Resident 1 and 2), had their health status accurately assessed using the Minimum Data Set ((MDS) a comprehensive assessment that helps nursing home staff identify health problems and track the improvement or decline of those problems). This facility failure had the potential to result in staff providing inappropriate care and the residents not achieving or maintaining their highest practical level of well-being.
Residents Affected - Few

Talk with staff members who work with the resident as well as family/significant others about any impairment in functional ROM . GG0120 . Steps for Assessment 1. Review the medical record for references to locomotion during the 7-day observation period. 2. Talk with staff members who work with the resident as well as family/significant others about devices the resident used for mobility during the observation period . GG0170 . Steps for Assessment 1.
