F 0637 Assess the resident when there is a significant change in condition Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to complete a significant change MDS assessment within 14 days after a significant change of condition for 1 of 6 (Resident #3) residents reviewed for comprehensive assessments. Residents Affected - Few The facility did not complete a significant change MDS for Resident #3 after she was admitted to hospice services. This failure could place residents at risk of not having their individual needs met when a significant change in condition occurs. Findings included: Review of Resident #3's comprehensive MDS, dated [DATE], reflected an [AGE] year-old female originally admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included unspecified dementia (memory loss), anxiety (a feeling of fear, tension, or worry), depression (persistent feelings of sadness), hypothyroidism (when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone), and diabetes mellitus (increased blood sugar levels). Resident #3 had a BIMS score of 00, indicating severe cognitive impairment. Review of Resident #3's care plan revealed she was admitted to hospice services for diagnoses of senile degeneration of the brain (progressive deterioration of brain tissue and function that occurs beyond what is considered normal aging) on 2/6/25. Review of Resident #3's clinical physician's order dated 02/06/2025 revealed she was admitted to hospice services due to a diagnosis of senile degeneration of the brain (progressive deterioration of brain tissue and function that occurs beyond what is considered normal aging). Review of Resident #3's MDS assessments in the EHR revealed no significant change assessment was conducted after Resident #3 was admitted to hospice services. In an observation on 2/25/2025 at 9:20am Resident #3 was sitting in her wheelchair in her room watching television. She had what appeared to be a baby fidget blanket in her lap and she was moving some of the flaps with her fingers. She appeared clean and well kempt. An interview was attempted but Resident #3 was unable to hold a conversation with the state surveyor. In an interview on 02/26/2025 at 11:58 AM with the MDSC who has worked at the facility for almost 7 years, she stated that she had just completed Resident #3's annual MDS assessment on 12/28/24 and (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0637 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few she probably forgot to do the significant change assessment after the physician's order on 2/6/25. She stated that hospice was considered a significant change. When a resident had a significant change, she was to speak with the resident, family, and hospice about their goals. She physically assesses residents to see what has changed, she will ask about the diagnoses, and why the decision to obtain hospice services was made. She said she was trained by the reimbursement specialist on doing MDS assessments accurately. She stated that if a significant change MDS was not done it could impede payments given to the facility, as well as impeding care that the resident was to receive that she could not see. In an interview on 02/26/2025 at 12:16 PM with the DON who has worked at the facility for 5 years, she stated that the MDS coordinator was responsible for completing a significant change MDS after discussion with the IDT, the family, and hospice. She stated that hospice was considered a significant change, and that the MDSC was trained in accurately conducting MDS assessments. She stated that her responsibilities (regarding MDS) as the DON, included reviewing records, ensuring DNR's were completed, and that she just assumed that the significant change assessment gets completed. She stated that negative impacts could be that goals could potentially not get done on the care plan and that problems in the MDS would trigger different things on the care plan. Review of the facility's Minimum Data Set (MDS) Policy for MDS assessment Data Accuracy policy undated reflected, The purpose of the MDS policy is to ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment by qualified staff to address the needs of the resident who are familiar with his/her physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. According to CMS 's RAI Version 3.0 Manual; the MDS is a core set of screening, clinical, and functional status elements, including common definitions and coding categories, which forms the foundation of a comprehensive assessment for all residents of nursing homes certified to participate in Medicare or Medicaid. The items in the MDS standardize communication about resident problems and conditions within nursing homes, between nursing homes, and outside agencies. Federal regulations at 42 CFR 483.20 (b)(1)(xviii), (g), and (h) require that: 1. The assessment accurately reflects the resident's status. Review of the RAI dated October 2024 reflected, If a nursing home resident elects the hospice benefit, the nursing home is required to complete an MDS Significant Change in Status Assessment (SCSA). For the other comprehensive MDS assessments, Significant Change in Status Assessment and Significant Correction to Prior Comprehensive Assessment, the CAA Completion Date must be no later than 14 days from the ARD and no later than 14 days from the determination date of the significant change in status or the significant error, respectively.

F 0641 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 interviews and record review the facility failed to ensure the resident assessment accurately reflected the resident's status for 1 (Resident #31) of 6 residents reviewed for accuracy of assessments. Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to ensure Resident #31's significant change MDS accurately reflected his hospice status. This failure could place residents at risk of not having their individual needs met when a significant change in condition occurs. Findings included: Review of Resident #31's closed record significant change MDS dated [DATE] revealed he was a [AGE] year-old male who initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a re-admit date of 10/13/2024. His diagnoses included: cancer, malnutrition, schizophrenia (a mental disorder characterized by delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thoughts, speech, and behavior), adult failure to thrive, lack of coordination, and acute pain due to trauma. His BIMS was 03, which indicated severe cognitive impairment. In Section O - Special Treatments, Procedures, and Programs, K1. Hospice Care was not checked, rather, Z1. None of the Above had been checked indicating resident had no special treatments, procedures, or programs. Review of Resident #31's care plan revealed he was admitted to hospice services for diagnoses of malignant neoplasm of the left kidney, except renal pelvis (a disease in which kidney cells grow out of control, not affecting the pelvis) on 10/25/2024. Review of Resident #31's clinical physician's order dated 10/25/2024 revealed he was admitted to hospice services due to malignant neoplasm of the left kidney, except renal pelvis (a disease in which kidney cells grow out of control, not affecting the pelvis). In an interview on 02/26/2025 at 1:32 PM with the MDSC who has worked at the facility for almost 7 years, she stated that hospice should have been checked in Section O in Resident #31's significant change MDS. She said she was trained by the reimbursement specialist on doing the MDS assessments accurately. She stated that if a significant change MDS was not done accurately it could impede payments given to the facility, as well as impeding care that the resident was to receive that she could not see.

F 0641 psychosocial well-being. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm According to CMS's RAI Version 3.0 Manual; the MDS is a core set of screening, clinical, and functional status elements, including common definitions and coding categories, which forms the foundation of a comprehensive assessment for all residents of nursing homes certified to participate in Medicare or Medicaid. The items in the MDS standardize communication about resident problems and conditions within nursing homes, between nursing homes, and outside agencies. Residents Affected - Few Federal regulations at 42 CFR 483.20 (b)(1)(xviii), (g), and (h) require that: 2. The assessment accurately reflects the resident's status. Review of the RAI dated October 2024 reflected, An SCSA is required to be performed when a terminally ill resident enrolls in a hospice program (Medicare-certified or State-licensed hospice provider) or changes hospice providers and remains a resident at the nursing home. The ARD must be within 14 days from the effective date of the hospice election (which can be the same or later than the date of the hospice election statement, but not earlier than). An SCSA must be performed regardless of whether an assessment was recently conducted on the resident. This is to ensure a coordinated plan of care between the hospice and nursing home is in place. A Medicare-certified hospice must conduct an assessment at the initiation of its services. This is an appropriate time for the nursing home to evaluate the MDS information to determine if it reflects the current condition of the resident, since the nursing home remains responsible for providing necessary care and services to assist the resident in achieving their highest practicable well-being at whatever stage of the disease process the resident is experiencing. o If a resident is admitted on the hospice benefit (i.e., the resident is coming into the facility having already elected hospice), or elects hospice on or prior to the ARD of the admission assessment, the facility should complete the admission assessment, checking the Hospice Care item, O0110K1.
