Nursing CMI

Specialties MDS

Published

I wanted to open my 5day assessment early, to capture IV fluids given at the hospital for K0510A and I have been told that no need because Nursing CMI is not affected by IV fluids.

Talino, please help is there anything form manual or CMS that I can show them.

Thanks

The HIPPS scores are located in Chapter 6 of the RAI. IVF given in the last 7 days will yield a Special Care High nursing case mix.

Open this PDPM calculator https://www.broadriverrehab.com/pdpm-calc and follow the instructions (screenshot). Notice the difference in payment (yellow highlight) when you check and uncheck K0510A.
