Re: invalidation?

[RRS2000]

The record is not invalid, so inactivation would not be appropriate.  Since it is an error in a valid record, the modification process should be used to correct the error.  Since it is not a "major" error in a clinical assessment that that significantly misrepresents the resident's clinical status, a Significant Correction assessment would not be appropriate.

Our clerk made an error in typing the medicaid number of one of our resident, should I invalidate the assessment ?
Thank you.
