Summary
The facility failed to complete an admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment within the required 14-day timeframe for one of five sampled residents. According to the admission record, the resident was admitted on a specified date, but review of the electronic health record showed that the admission MDS assessment was still in progress and had not been finalized within the mandated period. During an interview, the MDS Coordinator confirmed that the assessment should have been completed within 14 days and acknowledged that it had not been done in the required timeframe.
