How will I correct Prevalence of antipsychotic w/o psychosis - QI/QM?

Published

I'm having problems with this... I just replaced the old MDS with all these problems. How will I correct the Prevalance of Antipsychotic use without psychosis diagnosis etc. etc... If I am going to do the Quarterly Assessment and patient used antipsychotic meds for 7 days (7 days look back), patient was on that medications and diagnosis like for 3 years. Do I need to put the psychosis diagnosis in I3 so that it won't trigger? But I3 is only for diseases diagnosed in 90 days right? My DON told me that I need to correct everything, next assessment I should put the psychosis diagnosis if applicable regardless it was diagnosed long time ago because it wasnt coded right by old MDS and next assessment would be the right time to code it... is she right??

On quarterlies, if you go to the last section under diagnosis with the drop down boxes and list the psych diagnosis first, it will clear it from the QI/QM. If you do that on the annual, it is autumatic on the quarterly too. It can be Psychosis, Schizophrenia, Paranoid State, but I've never had a Dementia diagnosis work.
