Summary
The facility failed to submit a Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment in a timely manner for one resident. Review of the electronic medical record showed that the resident was admitted and later discharged, but no discharge MDS assessment was present in the record. During the survey, the MDS nurse initially was unaware of the missing submission and, upon further review, confirmed that the discharge MDS had been overlooked. The Director of Nursing acknowledged that the MDS should have been submitted promptly.
