F 0644 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 interview and record review, the facility failed to incorporate the recommendations from the PASRR level II determination and the PASRR evaluation report into a resident's assessment, care planning and transitions of care for 1 of 2 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for PASRR. The facility failed to submit NFSS forms timely to the TMHP Long Term Care Portal for Resident #1 to ensure payment for specialized services throught the PASRR program. This failure could place residents at risk for not receiving specialized services in a timely manner. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's admission record, dated 07/19/24, revealed a [AGE] year-old male who admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Down Syndrome (a genetic chromosome 21 disorder causing developmental and intellectual delays), hydrocephalus (a buildup of fluid in the cavities deep with the brain), contracture of muscle, left lower leg, muscle weakness, and mixed receptive-expressive language disorder (a communication disorder which results in difficulty understanding words and sentences). Record review of Resident #1's Annual MDS assessment, dated 07/02/24, reflected a BIMS score of 99 indicating resident was unable to complete the assessment requiring a Staff Assessment for Mental Status.

Interview with the MDS Nurse on 07/18/24 at 2:06 pm revealed the IDT team had discussed getting Resident #1 an air mattress through PASRR but the vendor never came out. The facility decided to give him an overlay air mattress with bolsters rather than waiting for the PASRR vendor. The MDS Nurse also stated they had submitted paperwork for a custom wheelchair since the one he had no longer fit him due to weight gain and due to wear and tear. The vendor came out the previous month to measure him so the MDS Nurse felt the wheelchair would be delivered some time soon. The facility did not have an expected delivery date. The emails and phone calls from the PASRR office were discussed. The MDS Nurse stated she had received several emails through the TMHP portal and two phone calls from the PASRR office but did not submit required paperwork by the due date which was supposed to be within 20 days of the IDT care plan meeting. The MDS Nurse stated she checked the TMHP portal several times a day and was responsible for ensuring that the PASRR process was followed. Record review of the emails from the PASRR office at HHSC revealed the facility needed to submit a NFSS form for PASRR Specialized Services DME for Mattress by 09/21/23 and another revealed the facility needed to submit a NFSS request form for PASRR Specialized Services for CMWC (Customized Manual Wheelchair) by 01/25/24.
