I have been asked by my DOR and seen it posted other places where ST is asking to do the BIM's assessment (so they can do it on day 1 or 2 of admission) so they can hopefully have a better chance a capturing the <12 BIM's score for the ST payment group. Anyone have any thoughts on this or been asked the same question? I am all for it as long as it is done within the time frame and they provide the correct documentation

Talino, thank you for you response. I have looked on my state website (MS) and can't seem to find an exact answer. Frustrating, you wouldn't think that answer would be that hard to locate.

I am interested in an Online LPN to RN Bridge program however I live in Mississippi. Are the clinical's only done at WKU campus or can you do clinical's outside of WKU at a given facility?

I work in a Medicaid only LTC(no skilled residents). In the past we have not taken Hospice patients but we are about to start. How will hospice patients impact the CMI. I know they will require an MDS just like everyone else but being that their stay is paid to the hospice company and not the nursing home why would their RUG still impact my CMI #? Thanks in advance for any insight!

A GDR has to be attempted at least once a year. If one has been attempted on a resident in the past I typically go back to that date and look forward from there.
