Summary
The facility failed to complete and transmit a Significant Change in Condition (SCIC) Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment within 14 days after determining a significant change in a resident's physical or mental condition. Specifically, a review of the medical record showed that a resident was admitted to hospice care as indicated by physician's orders. However, the required SCIC MDS assessment was not completed upon this admission to hospice. During an interview, the administrator and director of clinical services confirmed that staff did not complete the SCIC MDS assessment within the required timeframe.
