Summary
The facility failed to complete and electronically transmit the encoded Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment data to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) within the required 14-day timeframe for one resident. Clinical record review showed that the resident had a Quarterly MDS assessment that remained incomplete and had not been transmitted as required. This was confirmed during an interview with the Director of Nursing, who acknowledged that the MDS assessment had not been completed and transmitted within the mandated period.
