To the group,
I need your help - The VB4 date on the MDS - is that the actual date the care
plan is completed (interdisciplinary team meeting and review and update of the care
plan) or can that date be before the actual care plan date. Reading the manual it
states it is the "Care Plan completion date" so I am reading that as the date the care
plan meeting is completed with the interdisciplinary team. The MDS Coordintor is
saying no - the VB4 date does not have to match the care plan meeting date? Thank God
you guys are there to set one of us straight. Thank you in advance.
