I have a resident who is totally dependent on staff for the majority of her ADLs. During her BIMS she scored a 3 because she gave sensical answers but they were incorrect. My software is not triggering ADLs because of the BIMS score. Has anyone else run into this problem? We will still address her ADLs in her care plan but I'm trying to figure out why the BIMs score makes a difference in the trigger. Thanks

Your BIMS score was lower than 5 to trigger ADLs. Although you may need to care plan the ADL need, it does not trigger on the new MDS 3.0 unless your BIMS is at least 5. I quoted below Chap. 4 from RAI. Hope that helps. Goodluck!

The new CAT logic does not trigger ADLs if the following were not met:

1. Cognitive skills for daily decision making has a value of 0 through 2 or BIMS summary score is 5 or greater, while ADL assistance for bed mobility was needed as indicated by:

(G0110A1 >= 1 AND G0110A1

2. Cognitive skills for daily decision making has a value of 0 through 2 or BIMS summary score is 5 or greater, while ADL assistance for transfer between surfaces (excluding to/from bath/toilets) was needed as indicated by:

It doesn't trigger because with a BIMS so low, they assume she is not rehab/restorative potential.
