It sounds like a software issue to me, Charlene. Your dates all sound correct. Your
software is trying to warn you that your ARD is more than 14 days after the original
admission. You have 14 days from the readmission to complete the admission
assessment. So, I am hoping that your software will allow you to code everything
correctly and is just giving you a warning message. If it will not allow you to
proceed you will have to get in touch with the software company. All of the dates
should be OK on transmission since you entered the readmission date in A4a. If you do
get a message on transmission, it is still OK, it will be obvious to a surveyor that
the admission assessment was completed according to regulations.

Subject: Readmission date
I had a resident admitted on 10/16/03
transferred to hospital on 10/24/03 discharged prior to completing initial
assessment.
Returned on 10/30 on 11/2 did a 1/1
I keep getting an error message saying my AB 1 date is too early compared to A3a date
when I use 10/16/03
But if I use 10/30/03 date then I receive an error message for AB1 and AB11
Any suggestions?
