If a resident is coming from the hospital after a 1 day observation stay - never actually admitted to the hospital - do I code he was admitted from the community or from the hospital?
Also - a resident coming from home who is on home hospice services - do I code coming from community or from Hospice? I just looked at the RAI manual and it seems I should code as coming from hospice, which I don't usually do. Just one of those things I've never questioned before!
