Summary
The facility failed to complete and transmit a Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment within 14 days of the Assessment Reference Date (ARD) for one of three residents reviewed. Record review showed that this resident’s Quarterly MDS had an ARD of 01/14/26, but the RN did not sign the assessment completion date until 02/10/26. During an interview on 02/16/26 at 4:50 PM, the MDS Coordinator confirmed that this MDS assessment was not completed and transmitted within the required 14-day timeframe. This failure involved only the timeliness of the MDS completion and transmission; no additional clinical details, medical history, or resident condition at the time of the deficiency were documented in the report.
