Re: Signature Question

[Bee Baillargeon]

I was at a conference today and it was made very clear that the day you actually sign the MDS is the date you put next to your signature.  If a staff member is not available the day that the MDS is printed and needs to be signed, they need to have a back up plan - they need to make arrangements for someone else to sign for them.  This back up person is signing that they have reviewed the MDS and agree with the information in those sections.

I've been doing this for 7 years and I know I'm not going crazy...Maybe I am ......   Thanks
