F 0645 PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities 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 accurately submit a PL1 (PASRR Level 1 Screening) screening when a resident admitted with a diagnosis of Mental Illness, Intellectual Disability or Developmental Disability for 1 of 5 residents reviewed for PASRR screenings. (Resident #7) Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to submit a new PL1 screening when Resident #3 was diagnosed on [DATE] with Major Depressive Disorder (persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily living) during her stay. This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving specialized services. Findings included: Record review of Resident #7's face sheet dated 09/16/24 was an [AGE] year-old-female admitted [DATE] with diagnoses of generalized anxiety disorder (severe, ongoing anxiety that interferes with daily activities), major depressive disorder. Record review of Resident #7's PASRR Level 1 Screening, dated 12/29/23, indicated Resident #7 was negative for mental illness, intellectual disability, and developmental disability and negative for dementia as the primary diagnosis. There was no PASRR Level II Screening or Form 1012 (Mental Illness/Dementia Resident Review) found in the clinical record from the resident's admission on [DATE] to 09/17/24. Record review of Resident #7's Psychiatric Initial Assessment, dated 02/12/24 indicated a diagnosis of major depressive disorder, recurrent, moderate. Record review of Resident #7's annual MDS dated [DATE] indicated not PASRR positive and had a BIMS score of 8 indicating moderately impaired of cognition and had a diagnosis of major depressive disorder. Record review of Resident #7's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] with a BIMS score of 10 indicated moderately intact cognition with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder. Record review of Resident #7's physician orders dated 09/18/24 indicated she was prescribed bupropion HCL 100 mgs every day for major depressive disorder with a start date of 05/15/24 and paroxetine 40 mg every day at bedtime for major depressive disorder with a start date of 07/03/24 and mirtazapine 15 mgs every day at bedtime for major depressive disorder with start date of 09/17/24.

F 0645 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Record review of Resident #7's MAR dated 09/17/24, indicated she received bupropion HCL 100 mgs every day for major depressive disorder with a start date of 05/15/24 and paroxetine 40 mg every day at bedtime for major depressive disorder with a start date of 07/03/24 and mirtazapine 15 mgs every day at bedtime for major depressive disorder with start date of 09/17/24. Record review of Resident #7's care plan printed on 09/16/24 indicated Resident #7 received psychotropic medication for depression and anxiety with a goal to not experience adverse side effects over the next 90 days. During an interview on 09/17/24 at 1:20 p.m., the MDS nurse said she started working at the facility at the end of January. She said she was now responsible for all PASRR forms at the facility. She said the previous MDS nurse documented the PL1 as negative. The MDS nurse said she was in-serviced on PASRR form completion with October 2023 being the most recent. The MDS nurse said she had no back up or anyone to double check PASRR forms behind her. The MDS nurse said the risk of a PL1 form being incorrect was a resident could miss out on services, help, and support. During an interview on 09/17/24 at 1:32 p.m., the DON said the MDS nurse was responsible for all PASRR forms in the facility and was educated on correctly completing PASRR forms. She said Resident #7 's PL1 was possibly completed incorrectly by the previous MDS nurse. She said the risk of PASRR forms completed incorrectly was a resident could miss out on deserved services. The DON said her expectation was all PASRR forms completed accurately and timely so the resident could get the services they needed. During an interview on 09/17/24 at 1:39 p.m., the Administrator said the MDS nurse was responsible for all PASRR forms in the facility and was educated on correctly completing PASRR forms. She said the Regional Care Coordinator was the MDS nurses back up. She said Resident #7 's PL1 was possibly overlooked during the change in MDS coordinators. The Administrator said the risk of PASRR forms completed incorrectly was a resident could miss out on deserved services. The Administrator said her expectation was all PASRR forms completed accurately and timely. She said the facility followed the RAI for the PASRR policy. During an interview on 09/17/24 at 2:35 p.m., the Regional Care Coordinator said the MDS nurse and resident's family were responsible for completing the PL 1 when the resident admitted from home as Resident #7 did. She said the IDT (inter-disciplinary team) reviewed the admission paperwork and on receiving new diagnoses and if the DON noted a required diagnosis, the PL1 would be changed. She said the MDS nurse was educated on completion PL1s accurately and to let the local authority come in and make the decision if the resident qualified for services. The Regional Care Coordinator said when the psychiatric group that contracted with the facility reviewed residents at the facility and added diagnoses the paperwork was not submitted timely. She said the risk of a PL1 form completed incorrectly was if the resident should be positive the resident could get more assistance depending on needs. She said the local authority will come out to the facility on [DATE] and make Resident #7 PASRR negative .
