Inaccurate Resident Assessments and MDS Coding
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accurately report the status of four residents (R3, R21, R28, R33) in their MDS assessments. Specifically, the facility did not correctly document the residents' ethnicity and race, despite having information available in their clinical records or from family members. For instance, R3's MDS assessment marked the resident as unable to respond for ethnicity and race, even though the facesheet demographics indicated the resident was white. Similarly, R21 was marked as unable to respond, but the facesheet showed the resident was black or African American. R28's MDS assessment also failed to document ethnicity and race, despite the resident's family member providing information about their Middle Eastern descent. R33's MDS assessment inaccurately marked the resident as unable to respond for ethnicity and race, while the facesheet indicated Hispanic, Latino, and/or Spanish origin. An interview with the ADON revealed a misunderstanding of the documentation requirements, contributing to these inaccuracies. Additionally, the facility failed to accurately code R33's quarterly MDS assessment regarding anticoagulant use. The MDS assessment incorrectly documented that R33 was ordered anticoagulants, while the clinical record only showed an order for a Heparin lock flush to manage a vascular access device, which should not be coded as an anticoagulant. This discrepancy indicates a failure to follow the CMS RAI Manual guidelines for coding high-risk drug classes. These findings were reviewed with the NHA, DON, Medical Director, and a representative from the Ombudsman's Office.
