admitted from...2 questions

Specializes in MDS Coordinator.

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!

Thank you!

1. Hospital, even when admitted directly from the ER.

2. Hospice at home is Hospice
