It seems that these assessments were actually "expiration within facility"- not annuals or quarterlies- once I looked up discharge dates, etc. I'll get them completed and hopefully we'll get all of this mess back on track. Thanks for your guidance on this issue... Also, on the subject of Casper reports, what are the reports typically run in a facility and how often do you run them? Or is this something folks even utilize? I had no idea these tools existed until our newest DON came back from training and informed me of these reports.

We completed a Casper "Missing Obra Assessment" report and it popped up with some surprises... Like some missing obra assessments from prior to my taking this position... Long overdue. Obviously, I will get these promptly completed but what do I need to expect as far as Medicaid goes as far as repercussions? I am, for lack of a better term, very anal about my stuff being submitted in a timely manner and it upsets me that I have this awful looking report from Casper.

Hey all, I've recently inherited the MDS Coordinator position within my facility & luckily I'm not stuck in 2.0 mindset as some of the these other people so I'm basically learning MDS through the 3.0. My question is, was using the Casper Report System a nationwide change for LTC facilities? Also, I've downloaded the Casper User Manual (because I have no idea how to navigate around or gather my final verifications) but is there any other sources for some guidance through this mess? I went to the 3.0 training last month & I would certainly like to fill out their "How Did We Do" Survey NOW after seeing what a mess this new process is. Nothing was addressed about 27 page Discharges or anything about using Casper (as we didn't previously).... What a headache! Appreciate any help/support!
