Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a required discharge assessment was completed and submitted to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for one resident. According to the records, the resident was discharged on 10/25/24, but the electronic health record only showed a quarterly assessment completed on that date, with no evidence of a discharge assessment. During an interview, the Corporate Vice-President of Operations confirmed that a quarterly assessment was completed instead of the required discharge assessment due to an error.
