She reported that she has not yet fully acquired the required knowledge to independently complete MDS assessments but has access to resources and support personnel who is assisting her. She acknowledged that she is behind in completing the required MDS assessments and attributed this, in part, to her newness in the role. She stated that she has been employed at the facility since late October 2025 and has completed only two to three MDS assessments so far. She further stated that when she began employment, the facility did not have an on-site MDS Coordinator, and that MDS responsibilities were being managed by a corporate nurse, who is also providing her training. The MDS Coordinator confirmed her understanding that CMS requires comprehensive MDS assessments to be completed within 14 days of admission. She further stated that failure to complete the MDS within the required timeframe may result in loss of Medicare\Medicaid reimbursement for the facility. She also acknowledged that delayed completion of the MDS can negatively impact residents by delaying the identification of needs and the development or implementation of appropriate care. During an interview with Regional MDS Coordinator B she stated that the facility was in the middle of a CHOW (change of Ownership), which resulted in the discharge of all residents. She reported so many MDS assessments to complete was difficult. She said she was the only staff member responsible for completing all the MDS assessments. She stated she is working as quickly as possible to complete the assessments but acknowledged that she is currently behind. She further stated that once the MDS assessments are completed, they are forwarded to the Registered Nurse (RN) for review and signature. She also demonstrated understanding that comprehensive assessments must be completed within a 14-day timeframe from the date of admission. She confirmed that when the MDS assessments are not completed in a timely manner, it could result in care plans that are incomplete, inaccurate, or delayed, leading to unmet needs of the residents. Record review of facility policy dated 05\05\25 titled Conducting an Accurate Resident Assessment revealed, Policy: The purpose of this policy is to ensure that all residents receive an accurate assessment, reflective of the residents' status at the time of the assessment, by staff qualified to assess relevant care areas.
