Summary
The facility failed to ensure the accuracy of a resident's Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment regarding discharge status. Specifically, for one resident, the Discharge MDS with an Assessment Reference Date of 03/12/2025 incorrectly documented that the resident was discharged to a short term general hospital. However, a review of the resident's progress note for the same date indicated that the resident had a planned discharge to home. During an interview, the MDS Coordinator confirmed that the discharge status recorded in the MDS was incorrect and did not reflect the actual discharge destination.
