The BOM said she usually asked the Minimum Data Set (MDS) Nurse to review newly admitted resident's medications and to let her know if the resident was taking [MEDICAL CONDITION] medications. She said she was required to answer a question on the form about the resident's use of [MEDICAL CONDITION].

She said the State Agency would review the information and would notify the facility if the resident needed a Level II screening. She said the State Agency would then send a representative to the facility to complete the Level II screening. The Business Office Manager stated in Resident #21's case, another PASRR application should have been submitted to the State Agency when the [DIAGNOSES REDACTED].
