Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to capture a comprehensive MDS assessment after Resident #8 returned to the facility from the hospital and had a significant decline. This failure placed could place residents at risk for not being assessed for a change in condition and the need to revise their care plans to address changes in condition and develop interventions to meet their needs for care assistance and treatments. The findings included: Record review of Resident #8's face sheet, generated 5/23/2023, reflected Resident #8 was an [AGE] year-old female who was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a readmission date of 03/07/2023. The resident had the following diagnosis, which included: bacteriemia (presence of bacteria in the bloodstream), pressure ulcer sacral region; stage 2 (wound on the bottom area that is due to pressure), and abnormal findings in urine (urine showed presence of something abnormal). Record review of Resident #8's MDS Schedule reflected the last assessment as a Quarterly assessment on 3/07/2023 and, not a significant change assessment. Record review of Resident #8's Quarterly MDS revealed in the following sections- N: antibiotics were given the last 7 days. Section O: IV medications were given. Interview with the ADON on 5/23/2023 at 3:00 PM, she revealed that the resident was sent to the hospital due to a decline in her health. She stated that the resident has had a significant decline and a significant change MDS assessment should have been done when she returned to the facility on IV antibiotics. She revealed this failure could place the residents at risk for inadequate care. She revealed that it was her responsibility to make sure that the assessments were done accurately. Interview with the DON on 05/23/2023 at 12:00 PM revealed that it was the ADON's (who was the past MDS coordinator) responsibility to make sure the assessments are were completed accurately. The new MDS coordinator was in training and had not assumed the responsibility of completing the MDS assessments. She stated that this failure could cause her to miss care areas that would trigger on a significant change assessment.
