Thank you!!

Thanks again!! :)

Thank you SO much!! That is what I was trying to tell people I work with but no one believed me. Where is that kind of information found so I have that on paper?

I am having trouble finding the answer to this: A new resident admit with new feeding tube...and other skilled nsg needs/rehab, exhausts 100 day. Continues with feeding tube/NPO in facility. Discharges to hospital more than 60 days after exhausting 100 day. Readmit to hospital with a 3 day hospital stay (lets say for pneumonia). Can this resident start another 100 day Medicare stay or since continued to be tube fed/NPO there was never a 60 day break in illness? Please help!

I have been doing MDS & PPS for years, just switched companies recently. When a patient is d/c'd from therapies there is an option of doing an OMRA if indicated. My question: Is significant weight loss a skilled need? Weekly weights with weekly wt meetings and interventions are in place. RD is involved. There seems to be a debate within my company about this. I would appreciate any advice. :argue: Thanks
