Thank you.

According to how I understood it in the manual : the DRA and entry tracking is not necessary only if the temporary home visit is of at least one night. Resident was out on LOA for 2 nights. Am I misunderstanding something? Thanks

Patient went home on LOA for 2 nights. Since a DRA has to be done should the entry date A1600 be changed on his return ?

Thank you very much , your response was very helpful.

Thanks for the response to my entry date question. So since the resident was on medicare A during the first few months of admission do we need to keep putting those start and end date A2400 a/b/c on the subsequent assessments if the resident was never discharged?

Hello everyone. My question relates to date of entry A1600. Example: A resident was admitted on the medicare unit under medicare A then after a few months the payer source was changed and she was moved to the long term area (medicaid) and was placed under hospice service in the same facility. Each time the resident has a room change or change in payor source or status etc then billing adds that date as the most recent date unto the entry date section in MDI and a nurse is choosing the most recent date from billing as the entry date If the resident was never discharged from the facility in the above example what dates should A1600 and A2400 A/B/C be on the significant change assessment or future quarterly assessment?. Thanks for your response.
