Summary
The facility failed to ensure a thorough and accurate investigation was completed for a Facility Reported Incident (FRI) involving an allegation of abuse. Documentation errors were identified, including discrepancies in the resident's capacity status, incorrect dates for the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS), and the use of an incorrect name in the report. The resident involved had been deemed incapacitated by the facility's physician, but the FRI summary incorrectly stated the resident was capacitated. These inconsistencies were confirmed by a corporate registered nurse, who acknowledged multiple errors in the FRI documentation.
