The sample size was 17. This deficient practice could affect the resident's continuity of care. Findings include: Resident #36 was admitted on (MONTH) 13, 2012, with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of the clinical record revealed a physician's orders [REDACTED]. The SCSA MDS assessment dated (MONTH) 13, (YEAR), revealed the resident was receiving hospice services. Additional review of the clinical record revealed a physician's orders [REDACTED]. However, continued review of the clinical record did not reveal a SCSA MDS assessment was completed. On (MONTH) 7, 2019 at 10:25 AM, an interview was conducted with the MDS coordinator (staff #22). She stated that when a resident is discharged from hospice services, a SCSA MDS assessment needs to be completed. She also stated that she did not know this resident had been discharged from hospice services because she was not notified. Later that morning at 11:38 AM, staff #22 stated that a SCSA MDS assessment should have been completed for resident #36 in (MONTH) 2019. She said she missed it. The RAI manual instructs a SCSA MDS assessment is required when hospice services are discontinued and that the Assessment Reference Date must be within 14 days.	2020-09-01
