We do I and Os qshift x 72 hours, then prn. Tube feedings have intake as long as
skilled. We just had a state (New Hampshire) and federal survey. We decreased the
number of I and Os because they did not want to see "output x3" if incont. and there
were gaps in the intake. If a patient comes in with no dx of dehydration and are
cognitive, we do not start an I and O. This is our new paractice because of the
surveys and their recommendations.

Our Subacute Care Unit's policy is to collect I&O on all patients no matter
the diagnosis (DON preference). It will not increase your reimbursement, it is not
coorelated with a RUG category.

Question was posed at my facility, whether all residents should be on
I&O throughout the stint on Medicare (particularly if held for skilled nursing only
and nontherapy) up to 100 days if necessary. It is proposed that this will increase
the reimbursement. What are you doing? Does it really increase reimbursement and if so
how much?
