Failure to Complete Required PASARR Screenings for Residents with Mental Disorders
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure appropriate completion of PASARR (Preadmission Screening and Resident Review) screenings for two of three sampled residents with mental disorders or intellectual disabilities. One resident, admitted with diagnoses of schizophrenia and anxiety, had a PASARR I assessment indicating the need for a PASARR II due to the schizophrenia diagnosis, but no PASARR II was found in the electronic health record. Staff confirmed that the required PASARR II had not been completed. Another resident, admitted with bipolar disorder and PTSD, did not have a PASARR I screening available in the record at the time of the survey. Staff interviews confirmed that the PASARR I was not completed for this resident upon admission, as required by facility policy.
