We have 90 pt A beds and this week we did 57 pps assessments with 3 MDS nurses. We also have 90 LTC beds - there were 7 on the calendar, only 4 needed to be done (dc's, etc happened) with 1 MDS nurse. Hmmm, why didn't she help us out? Anyway, the numbers change from week to week.

Subject: My facility is starting PPSMy facility hasn't utilized medicare since 1999. Currently we have a 300 bed facility however the administrator wants to open up a 30-50 bed medicare unit. We currently have 3 full time MDS coordinators. We do infection control, wound care, QA and our mds assessments for OBRA. I figured out our hours per assessment and other work assigned through FTE / assessment hours and it shows we should have 4.30 FTE's.So I need some kind of estimated amount of assessments that will be done on a 30-50 bed medicare unit to prove to the administrator/CEO how many more coordinators will be needed to run this new medicare unit.
