Morning Meeting/Stand up

[katoline]

I was just wondering what other facilities do. How long are your morning meetings, what is discussed and what extra work do you get done there? (like fall reviews, skin tears/breakdown, change in condition with Interdisciplinary Team reviews etc.) Also, who attends your delivery of care or whatever it's called where you work? It's the mtg within 72hrs to determine prior level of function, resident and family discharge plans.

I find myself going in at 7am just to get some work done before our mtg that lasts from 9am usually to 11:00. Then I'm given careplans to "update", consents for psychotropics to obtain and other little assignments. I feel disorganized at this facility and mtgs drag.

Our meeting aren't 'stand up' - they usually drag on for about an hour. We usually find out PLOF and plans for discharge during admission interviews - within the first couple days, and it's done by MDS nurse & Social Services staff.

We also talk to therapy dept.

When the administrator is out of the building and I'm in charge, the morning meeting is less than 4 minutes. Then we have clinical which is usually less than 15. Daily PPS meeting takes 3 minutes. Everything else is done at a different time.

When I was DON I thought that I would absolutely die in morning meeting. The Adm would talk about everything under the sun and stuff that had no consequence or relevence to anything that was anything. But the stuff that was important- falls, changes of condition, unusual occurrences, those things took about 15 minutes. I started dividing stuff into sub-groups because I couldn't stand spending 2 hours of every day in a meeting when I had so much going on. It was sometimes like a "social" and I couldn't stand it!

We have a form that we use and follow each day that includes census, # of Medicare, upcoming admissions and discharges, falls, and other incidents. This meeting usually lasts 10-20 minutes, it is rare that it goes 30 minutes. If the meeting starts to get off-track then we move on to the next subject - nobody wants to be in there very long so we are good about staying on task.

Our Medicare review meeting is about 15 minutes maximum and is held at a different time.

What does your MDS Coordinator discuss during stand-up meetings? I am the only MDS coordinator at my facility and I honestly don't have anything to add to this meeting. 

Admissions review current census whole house, then rehab census with # of traditional Medicare and # of managed care. The number of expected admissions that day. 

Social Worker reviews any expected admissions for the LTC side.
