Subject: Re: Informed Consents for
medications
We are not getting informed consents signed for any medications.
How did you get started doing this? Is this a state-related
idea? Are you doing this just for new orders for medications started
after admission or for all of them?
Your MDS coding is correct: code drugs based on their
classification and not based upon their use. (See Clarification in the Dec.
2002 Manual, page 3-180.)

I
am wondering,are you all obtaining informed consents before administrating
meds like ,KLONOPIN ETC.We currently now obtain consents for any
antidepressants,antianxiety,antipsychotics,hypnotics.Our phar rep is
recommending that we do for other meds that are given like Benadryl for
sleep.In longterm care we are using meds due to their side effects.Are any
of you putting them on the MDS.I am going by what I believe the RAI
says,only classify those meds that fall into the 4 groups.If you are using
Neurontin for mood explain it in rap and care plan by monitoring it's use
but don't put it under the antidepressant section of the
meds.
