93	MILLER NURSING HOME	115039	206 GRACE ST	COLQUITT	GA	39837	2018-06-28	640	E	1	1	KTS211	> Based on record review and interview the facility failed to transmit resident Minimum Data Assessment (MDS) assessments timely for eight residents (R4, R2, R17, R20, R14, R7, R26 and R10). The facility census was 98. Findings include: Interview on 06/28/18 at 3:29 p.m. with Registered Nurse (RN) AA regarding the Minimum Data Assessments (MDS) revealed that a (MONTH) 10, (YEAR) batch of resident assessments were downloaded but was not uploaded and that it was that the facility's mistake. RN AA revealed that it is the responsibly of the facility to check to make sure that the assessments are uploaded and confirm that the assessments have been received. RN AA revealed that the 5/10/18 file was saved to Downloads, but was never exported, so there was not a receipt alerting her of the batch. Interview on 6/28/18 at 3:30 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON) and RN CC revealed that the MDS nurse in the facility is responsible for making sure the download of assessments is complete. The DON inquired with the MDS assessment nurses as to why the assessments were late. At this time, RN CC revealed that the QI data that is reported monthly is generated by reviewing the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) MDS schedule and reporting any assessments that haven't been completed by the RAI assessment due date. RN CC revealed that the 5/10/18 batch had been completed and sent to a zip file to be submitted to CMS, which caused the report to drop off the assessment due report however, it was never taken from the zip file and submitted and this caused the assessments to be sent in late. Interview on 6/28/18 at 3:32 p.m. with CC RN MDS revealed she made a file and uploaded the batch to the file and downloaded it to the site but apparently it did not go through. RN MDS CC revealed that when processing MDS assessments we save a zip file in the charting system and from there we must sign into the Quality Improvement and Evaluation System (QIES) submission website and attach the zip file to the state website; however, on 5/10/18, I failed to complete the second step of the process.	2020-09-01
