In an interview with the Regional MDS Coordinator on 06/20/23 at 11:26 AM, he stated he worked for
multiple facilities. He said the rule for care plans was that it had to be completed within 7 days after the
comprehensive MDS assessment is completed. He said care plans were important for informing the team
about the resident's special needs and how the resident is to be cared for. He stated communication
barriers and ADLs should be care planned for all residents, but the facility did not have an MDS Coordinator
to manage all the care plans, so that was a contributing reason as to why Resident #16 did not have a
comprehensive care plan.
Residents Affected - Few
In an interview with the DON on 06/20/23 at 11:36 AM, she stated the facility had one part-time MDS and a
regional MDS Coordinator helping with comprehensive assessments and care plans, but the facility was in
need of a full-time MDS Nurse for the constant turnover of residents. She stated communication barriers
and ADLs need to be included in comprehensive care plans, as they serve as communication for the
interdisciplinary team to know necessary interventions to prevent any further decline in the resident.
Record review of the facility's policy on comprehensive care plans, dated 08/17/2022, revealed, . The facility
will ensure the timeliness of each resident's person-centered, comprehensive care plan, and to ensure that
the comprehensive care plan is reviewed and revised by an interdisciplinary team composed of individuals
who have knowledge of the resident and his/her needs . a comprehensive care plan must be- i) developed
within 7 days after completion of the comprehensive assessment .
