During an audit, it was identified that on the recently completed and transmitted Annual assessment, two pressure ulcers were present at the time of the assessment but neither the pressure ulcers nor the treatment were coded on the assessment. The Care Area Assessment (CAA) was not triggered, and this issue was not addressed in the care plan. What is the correct action now?
No action is required. The pressure ulcers will be captured on the next Quarterly assessment.
The nurse assessment coordinator (NAC) only needs to complete a modification of the incorrect Annual; a significant correction is not needed.
The NAC needs to both complete a modification to correct the erroneous Annual assessment and schedule a Significant Correction to Prior Comprehensive assessment within 14 days of identifying this error.
The NAC must complete a Significant Change in Status Assessment within 14 days of this determination.
