Summary
The facility failed to transmit a discharge Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment within the required 7-day timeframe for one resident. Record review showed that the resident was admitted on a specified date and had a discharge MDS assessment completed on 5/7/25, coded as a discharge to home. However, the assessment was not transmitted or accepted by the State as required. During interviews, the MDS nurse confirmed that the assessment was completed but not submitted, attributing the lapse to an oversight. The Director of Nursing stated that all MDS assessments are expected to be completed and submitted within the required timeframe.
