Failure to Complete PASRR for Residents Initiated on Hospice Services
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to complete the required Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) for two residents who began receiving hospice services. Both residents had significant medical histories, including dementia, anxiety, and other chronic conditions, and were dependent on staff for most or all activities of daily living. Despite these changes in their care needs, there was no evidence that a PASRR was completed or updated when hospice services were initiated for either resident. Record reviews confirmed that neither resident had a PASRR completed at the time of their significant change in status, specifically when they were admitted to hospice care. This was further verified through an interview with the Social Service Designee, who acknowledged the absence of PASRR documentation for both residents during this transition. The deficiency was identified during a review of residents receiving hospice services, affecting two out of two residents reviewed in this category.
