Today the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the 2019 National
Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) Report, an annual report
prepared by CMS with its contractor, the PASRR Technical Assistance Center.
Sections 1919(b)(3)(F) and (e)(7) of the Social Security Act require that
all applicants to and residents of Medicaid-certified nursing facilities
(NFs) be screened for mental illness and intellectual disability and, if
necessary, be provided specialized services while in the NF.
The 2019 National PASRR Report summarizes states’ self-reported data
related to certain quality measures, including the timeliness of the PASRR
evaluations and the outcomes for applicants and residents resulting from
the evaluations. The report also summarizes responses to PASRR-related
items on the Minimum Data Set. The results do not individually identify
specific states. Similar information was released in a report issued in
2017.
