  1. LPN MDS coordinator course

    Some states have a nursing act that requires comprehensive assessments to be done by RNs. In those states, the RN must perform the comprehensive assessment and sign complete. Quarterly and PPS/OMRA assessments obviously don't require an RN to perform...
  2. V200C

    Correct.
  3. Case Mix

    The RAI Manual says early assessments are allowed and does not define how early. Therefore, one day after an admission assessment, you could perform a quarterly or annual. The next day you could do yet another quarterly or annual, if you so chose. Th...
  4. PPS tracking form

    Now I'm curious. If there is a PPS tracking form different from the MDS 3.0 PPS Assessment Calculator that is helpful to people then I would certainly like to see it. If someone has a copy then please email to [email protected]. Equally i...
  5. V200C

    For clarification, The care plan must be completed no later than 7 days after the CAA Process completion date at V0200B2. The MDS completion date at Z0500B and the CAA Process completion date at V0200B2 must meet the MDS requirements for that type of...
  6. I'm drowning!

    Hello croppyRN, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. I can't help with the workload management issue but I can recommend resources for MDS help when your regional coordinator is busy. First and foremost, I recommend contacting your state MDS RAI C...
  7. Pending Denials Increasing?

    I recommend you contact your state RAI Coordinator, Cheryl Shiffer, at 210.619.8010 to discuss MN requirements.
  8. V200C

    MDS 3.0 RAI Manual, page V-6: V0200C2, Date The date on which a staff member completes the Care Planning Decision column (V0200A, Column B), which is done after the care plan is completed. Hope that helps.
  9. managed care and the mds

    I know that at least one software product DOES allow you to distinguish non-Part A PPS-like assessments, but I'm afraid I don't remember which one. If you happen to be on the market for software, ask about this.
  10. managed care and the mds

    ibtootie, you are correct. MDS completed for residents in certified beds require A0410=3. In Texas, residents in non-certified beds require A0410=2.
  11. managed care and the mds

    I found out from a colleague that CMS no longer endorses the following, "marking A0310B something other than 99 for a non-Part A record is incorrect, as well, since A0310B is for Medicare Part A PPS records." They got in trouble with the provider or...
  12. managed care and the mds

    I confirm cwrnracct's post. Two weeks ago, CMS said exactly that on a conference call. CMS also has said in the past that marking A0310B something other than 99 for a non-Part A record is incorrect, as well, since A0310B is for Medicare Part A PPS re...
  13. D/C Assessment

    The D/C is an OBRA assessment. However, a D/C can never be a "prior assessment" because the only MDS record that can follow a D/C is an entry tracking record. You can no longer set an ARD and complete an assessment for a date after the date of discha...
  14. next quarterly

    And you only have 2 days after death/discharge in which to set the discharge/scheduled assessment ARD for the date of death/discharge (SNF PPS Clarifications Memo, March 2012).
