The MDS Coordinator did not state whether she had received any training regarding PASSR . MDS Coordinator did not reveal how monitoring was conducted to ensure it was done timely and accurately.

The MDS Coordinator said that the potential risk to a resident for not having the corrected referral submitted to identify mental health illness, would be that the resident would not receive the necessary services qualified for. Record review of the facility's Resident Assessment-Coordination with PASARR Program policy dated implemented 6/2023 and Date Revised: 06/2023 revealed 9.
