MDS Coordinator. Again!?

Sounds familiar. That said: BEHIND is often in the eye of the beholder. In a 45 bed facility, it would be VERY strange to be 30 MDS's behind. If the ARD is less than 14 days back, it's not late. Alot of MDS coordinators feel they have to do the MDS from bedside, but as an auditor, I can tell you, everything better be retrievable from the chart. If you have adequate charting you can pull together an MDS. Just sign it with your date and move on.re-admit and dc trackers aren't MDS's per se, and they can be done whenever. There's no big deal on those.
