LVN A stated he did not have anything to do with the care plans and was not certain what should be contained in them. He stated he wasn't sure who was responsible for the care plans.

She stated a place holder was added to the care plan, but the care itself was not specified.

She stated the part that indicated intake more than body requirements was created but an evaluation of the resident's weight and goals were not specified.

She stated the computer software company was working on a solution. The DON stated the MDS Coordinator was responsible for ensuring the comprehensive care plans were complete, but again because of the glitch they were not triggering, and it was a known problem. The DON stated an accurate care plan was important, so they knew how to care for
the resident.
