MDS Process nurses

Hi everyone

I am a Resident Care Coordinator in LTC and recently we have been approved to hire an additional person for this.

I am wondering if anyone out there has any ideas on how to utilize this second person the most effectively?

What are others responsible for besides the obvious MDS/RAPS?

Thanks!

No Im starting PPS on my own and its hard knowing what to Med A someone for or not and not being stuck paying for it . Like radiation/chem/dialysis

Our admission's person will tell me on admission is a person is on Med A or not. Then, we have a weekly Medicare meeting and discuss with PT if they are going to be taken off or not. When they are on Med A follow your 5/14/30/60/90 schedule.
