MDS coordinator A stated staff was informed that aspirin was now be listed as an anticoagulant. MDS coordinator stated she is responsible for completing her part of the MDS and the DON was responsible for signing off on the MDS that it was completed. The MDS coordinator stated that corporate audits the MDS assessments quarterly for accuracy. The MDS coordinator stated the importance of making sure the MDS was correct was because medications had different reactions and they were considered high risk drug classes. If medications were not coded correctly the resident could have had an adverse reaction to the medication or a change in condition. During an interview on 12/20/23 at 1:49 PM, the DON stated she was responsible for making sure the MDS assessment was correct. The DON stated that the MDS nurses had informed her that aspirin was considered an anticoagulant after attending the corporate meeting on 10/01/23. The DON stated the importance of making sure the MDS assessment was correct was that the facility was aware of the resident's health and their level of care. During an interview on 12/20/23 at 3:12 PM, the ADM stated he expected the MDS assessment to be completed accurately. The ADM stated the MDS coordinators were responsible for making sure the MDS assessment was accurate, and it could affect the residents and it could impact drug interactions or proper resident care if not filled out correctly. During an interview on 12/19/23 at 4:06 PM, the Regional Compliance Nurse said they did not have a policy on MDS assessment or accuracy. The Regional Compliance Nurse said they followed the RAI (Resident Assessment Instrument) manual. The Regional Compliance Nurse said Residents #43, #45, and #18 were not receiving a true anticoagulant medication and all were taking aspirin. Record review of section N of the RAI manual on 12/20/23, indicated .Anticoagulant (e.g. warfarin, heparin, or low molecular weight heparin): check if an anticoagulant was taken by the resident at anytime of the 7-day look-back period . The RAI manual indicated .Antiplatelet: check if an antiplatelet medication (e.g. aspirin/extended release, dipyridamole, clopidogrel) was taken by the resident at any time during the 7- day look back observation period . Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure an accurate MDS was completed for 5 of 19 residents reviewed for MDS assessment accuracy. (Resident #49, #39, #43, #45, and #18). 1. The facility failed to accurately reflect Resident #49's weight loss on the MDS assessment. 2. The facility inaccurately coded Residents #39, #43, #45, and #18 as having received an anticoagulant medication.

The ADON stated the facility incorporated the glass program which informed staff that residents on the glass program needed some assistance with eating and were at risk of weight loss. The ADON stated she monitored the residents for weight loss by looking at them and talking to dietary staff or by looking at their plates, or if the residents liked the first plate food, she may request a second plate for the resident. During an interview on 12/20/23 at 2:00 p.m., the DON stated she had been the DON at the facility for 1 year. The DON stated she was responsible for overseeing the ADON and MDS coordinators.

The Administrator stated he expected the MDS to be accurate for the residents and for the MDS coordinator and ADON to communicate any changes with the residents during morning meetings. The Administrator stated it was important to ensure that the MDS were coded for weight loss in order to appropriately respond to the weight loss and ensure the resident can gain weight if that is desirable. Record Review of Comprehensive Care Planning policy undated revealed, Each resident will have a person-centered comprehensive care plan developed and implemented to meet his other preferences and goals, and address the resident's medical, physical, mental and psychosocial needs . When developing the comprehensive care plan, facility staff will, at a minimum, use the minimum data set(MDS) to assess the resident's clinical condition, cognitive and functional status, and use of services. If a Care Area Assessment (CAA) is triggered, the facility will further assess the resident to determine whether the resident is at risk of developing, or currently has a weakness or need associated with that CAA, and how the risk, weakness or need affects the resident. Documentation regarding these assessments and the facility's rationale for deciding whether or not to proceed with care planning for each area triggered will be recorded in the medical record.

MDS Coordinator B said the ADON and DON were responsible for the acute care plans. MDS Coordinator B said Resident #1's oxygen should have been care planned so nurses and aides were aware she was on oxygen. MDS Coordinator B said when she did her quarterly or annual assessments, she would then update the care plans. MDS Coordinator B said if the nurses were signing off on the MAR or TAR then Resident #1 was receiving her oxygen. During an interview on 12/20/23 at 2:17 PM, the ADON said Resident #1's oxygen should have been on her comprehensive care plan as it was part of her medical condition.

The Administrator stated it was important for staff store dented cans on the dented can rack, label, date and seal frozen foods items, discard expired food to ensure the residents health and safety and to make sure the dietary staff did not have any bad food or spoiled food. The Administrator stated it was also important to ensure staff were following policies and procedures to ensure quality of life issues as far as flavor and taste of food for the residents. During Record Review of Dietary Services Policy & Procedure Manual 2012 undated revealed, (6) When items are received from the vendor, they should be first examined for expiration date, and if an expiration date is present, it is beneficial to mark it by circling it, so it is readily visible and noticeable. It is important to distinguish between an expiration date and a production date, or a best by or use by date. Production dates indicate when the product was manufactured, not when it expires and should not be interpreted as a best by or use by date. Best by or use by dates indicate when a product will have best flavor or quality and are not an indicator of the product's safety. As the quality may deteriorate after the date passes, the dietary manager should closely inspect any products that are past the best by date to determine if they are still good quality. If in doubt, discard the product. If any stamped date is unclear, contact the food vendor for clarification. If an item does not have a date designated by the manufacturer as an expiration date, then the item should be dated as to when it is received, and shelf-stable items will be stored in a first in, first out manner, to be used within one year. After one year, any product that is shelf stable will be inspected by the dietary manager to ensure that it is good quality before it is used. Any product with a stamped expiration date will be discarded once that date passes.
