Summary
The facility failed to ensure an accurate Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for one resident. Clinical record review showed that the resident's quarterly MDS assessment indicated a significant weight loss. However, a review of the resident's weight summary revealed fluctuating weights, with a reweigh by the registered dietitian showing a current body weight that did not support the significant weight loss documented in the MDS. An interview with a licensed employee confirmed that the MDS inaccurately reflected a significant weight loss for the resident.
