Jan 16, 201214 yr This resident never walked on unit but did walk in rehab room with parallel bar and 2 therapist assist.This from G section on how a Resident walk in corridor on unit. I codedTotal Dependence---Acitivity did not a occur... She is transported in a wheelchair from room to off unit (activities, rehab ect).Is this correct? I was told by DON I coded wrong.Thanks Emily
Jan 17, 201214 yr The concept is correct, the coding is wrong. The correct code is 8/8.Key points:If Column A is Activity Did Not Occur, Column B should always be Activity Did Not Occur.If Column A is Total Dependence, Column B can only be 1-person or 2-person.Walk in Corridor/Walk in Room is never coded Total Dependence. The staff would either be carrying or dragging the resident if that is the case.
Jan 18, 201214 yr FRom my limited experience I would agree it should be coded 8/8... I do so wish I could get the nursing staff to understand this though!
Jan 19, 201214 yr Author Actually that is what I coded now that I think about it. And makes better sense. The DON just keep arguing about how the Resident had walk in rehab with PT.ThanksEmily
