Summary
The facility failed to complete a required discharge Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for one resident who was admitted for short-term rehabilitation and subsequently discharged home. According to the facility's policy, the resident assessment coordinator is responsible for ensuring timely and appropriate resident assessments by the interdisciplinary team. Clinical record review showed that the resident was discharged, but no discharge MDS assessment was found in the records. This was confirmed during an interview with the Director of Nursing, who acknowledged that the discharge MDS had not been completed for the resident.
