Summary
The facility failed to transmit the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment in a timely manner for one resident. The clinical record review showed that a resident admitted with kidney failure and diabetes was transferred to the hospital on 3/15/24, but no discharge MDS assessment had been completed or transmitted as required. During interviews, it was revealed that the MDS nurse responsible for discharge MDS assessments and submissions was not present, and another MDS coordinator acknowledged that the discharge MDS should have been completed and transmitted within 14 days of discharge but was overlooked.
