I am an RN with 25+ years experience, yet new to MDS...
here's my question...
If my resident is admitted snf (ot,pt,st)and discharges (return not anticipated) on day 9 which assessments can I combine?
rehab has requested a 5 day ARD on day 8 for their best RUG
I know that I dont have to do an admission assessment since d/c date was before day 14..
I know that I need a 5 day PPS and a disch / OBRA... am I correct to assume that I need to do these as 2 separate assessments since the 2 ARD's cant match ( 5-day is set at the last grace day and disch ARD must be the date of d/c which is day 9)
Any tricks ??????
any help is appreciated as I have only a few months experience in MDS an virtually no support system at work ...
