Care planning Procedure

[MDSRN15]

Experts,

We have a 60 bed subacute in my facility, every week the IDC team schedules to meet with family on Wednesday about 10-15 patients every week. Based on that meeting, they would write on the progress note of the patient's plan of care. Then on Thursdays, they would meet again to read each of their interdisciplinary note which has all the detailed information for the resident. Care plans are not updated based on these meetings, some care plans created on admission and some by the 8th day or updated accordingly. Question is: Can we get rid of the interdisciplinary note from each SS, act, nursing and Dietary - and use the progress note only. OR can you give me a suggestion on how to streamline our process based on CMS rules, so we can save some time for all disciplines. THANK YOU EXPERTS!
