Re: FIM scoring survey
Our educator ran a full day course in FIM assessment, which involved the use of standardized scenarios. There are a lot of nuances and a lot of categories to score, so I think trying to learn it on your own is a challenge regardless of your learning style.
The scores are recorded twice a day on a single sheet for the first three days of admission. It's a quick task, and apparently important enough to the billing process to have a nurse assigned to doing record checks each day. It affects our ability to get full payment for services, so as a former tax guy, I say 'Heck, yes we need to do it!'.
