Failure to Complete Required Level II PASARR Screening
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a Level II Pre-Admission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR) was completed for one resident who was admitted with diagnoses including schizophrenia, arthritis, and diabetes. Documentation showed that a Level I PASARR was completed prior to admission, which indicated the need for a Level II PASARR, but no evidence of a completed Level II PASARR was found. The social services director confirmed that they relied on the PASARR from the resident's previous facility and were unaware that a Level II PASARR was required until informed by the survey team. The administrator stated that PASARR screenings were expected to be completed by social services or delegated staff upon admission. No facility policy related to PASARR was provided when requested.
