Summary
The facility failed to timely transmit a Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for one resident diagnosed with dementia. The resident's clinical record showed that a Quarterly MDS assessment with an assessment reference date (ARD) was completed, but the transmission of this assessment to the State occurred significantly later than required. Specifically, the assessment was completed, but not transmitted within the 14-day window as outlined in the RAI Manual. According to MDS Support staff, the delay was due to being occupied with end-of-month activities, resulting in the assessment being transmitted more than three weeks after the ARD.
