Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, a serious mental illness, was referred to the Louisiana Office of Behavioral Health for a Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR) Level II evaluation as required. Review of the resident's clinical record showed an active diagnosis of bipolar disorder since admission, but there was no documented evidence that a PASARR Level II referral had been made. The social worker responsible for initiating such referrals confirmed in an interview that the resident had not been referred for the required evaluation since admission.
