Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for
services as needed.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to coordinate assessments with the
pre-admission screening and resident review program (PASRR) to the maximum extent practicable to avoid
duplicative testing and effort for 1 of 7 (Resident #1) residents reviewed for PASRR.
The facility contacted the HHSC PASRR Unit on 5-7-2024 for Resident #1 and no NFSS (Nursing Facility
Specialized Services) form was provided to the HHSC PASRR Unit by the required date of 5-10-2024.
This failure could affect residents with mental illnesses and placed them at risk of not being assessed to
receive needed services.
Findings included:

[AGE] year-old female resident admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include cerebral palsy

cognitive communication deficit (impaired thought processes).
Record review of Resident #1's last quarterly MDS assessment was completed on 5-13-2024 revealed she
had a BIMS score that required staff to complete due to Resident #1 was not able to complete the
assessment due to memory problems, and Resident #1 had a functionality of requiring setup or clean-up
assistance with most of her activities of daily living.
Record review of Resident #1's PASRR Level 1 Screening with date of assessment 01-04-2024 revealed

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During an observation on 7-17-2024 at 09:15 AM of Resident #1, she was observed in the front lobby
dressed well sitting in a chair. Resident #1 appeared in good condition. Resident #1 did not respond to

Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 7-16-2024 at 08:07 AM the PSPU coordinator reported that the facility contacted the
HHSC PASRR Unit on 5-7-2024. She stated that a NFSS form was required to be provided to the HHSC
PASRR Unit by 5-10-2024 and as of 7-16-2024 the form had not been received.
During an interview on 7-17-2024 at 02:13 PM the MDS Coordinator verified that she was the person who
entered everything into the HHSC PASRR Unit portal and that she did not enter any information for
Resident #1 on 5-7-2024. When presented with the information that Administrator A had contacted the
HHSC PASRR Unit on 5-7-2024, the MDS Coordinator reported that Administrator A was a former
administrator and that Resident #1 had been in the hospital just prior to 5-7-2024. The MDS Coordinator
report that Administrator A may have contacted HHSC PASRR Unit by mistake, that she (the MDS
Coordinator) was not aware of any contact that was made with the HHSC PASRR Unit for the date of
5-7-2024. The MDS Coordinator was aware that that initial contact on 5-7-2024 did result in the need for a
NFSS (Nursing Facility Specialized Services) form to be provided to HHSC PASRR Unit within three days
and that due to the former administrator not telling anyone of her contact the form was most likely not
provided and we were out of compliance. The MDS Coordinator reported that with the facility having so
many recent issues with management changes, Resident #1 having issues with her Medicaid approval, and
the changes with the new ownership of the facility, that the coordination just got caught up in all that. The
MDS Coordinator reported that if the coordination with the HHSC PASRR Unit was not followed then a
resident definitely can have problems if their care is not coordinated.
Record review of the facility provided policy titled Resident Assessment - Coordination with PASRR
Program) date implemented 9-1-2023 revealed the following:
