Huge problem in most facilities. I think just knowing that someone is counting the missed initials has helped in ours. Then you have a goal to have fewer missed next time. When we first started counting we really discovered a lot of med errors. Nurses "thought" they were just forgeting the initials but often were forgetting the med as well.

We use Rh+ to submit. 2 of us fill the MDS out and another person submits. We use 30 day mood and behavior check sheet and simple ADL sheet but I feel we could be capturing a lot more. Thanks, I will check out what you mentioned.

Thanks for your reply. good points. What systems are other small non-profits using?

Our LTC facility in a small town still does MDS in handwritten form. I know we are missing so much by not being computerized. Can anyone tell me what web based systems you have used? Thanks!
