Inaccurate PASRR Screenings Prior to Admission
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that Level I Preadmission Screening and Resident Reviews (PASRRs) were accurate prior to admission for two residents. For one resident with multiple complex diagnoses, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD, the Level I PASRR completed prior to admission did not indicate any Serious Mental Illness (SMI) indicators, despite hospital records showing the resident was actively receiving psychotropic medications and had SMI indicators. Both the Social Services Director and Admissions Coordinator acknowledged that the PASRR was inaccurate and that it is the facility's responsibility to ensure accuracy prior to admission. For another resident with moderate memory impairment and a diagnosis of depression, the Level I PASRR completed prior to admission did not include the depression diagnosis and indicated no SMI indicators. Staff interviews confirmed that the PASRR was incomplete and inaccurate, and that the facility is responsible for reviewing hospital-completed PASRRs for accuracy before admission.
