Summary
The facility failed to ensure the accurate coding of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 for a resident who had undergone a Significant Change assessment. Record review showed that the resident had a Level I PASRR indicating the need for a face-to-face review, and a Level II PASRR was completed. However, the Significant Change MDS was incorrectly coded in Section A1500 to indicate that the resident did not have a Level II PASRR. This error was confirmed during an interview with the Director of Nursing, who acknowledged that the MDS was inaccurately completed regarding the resident's PASRR status.
