RE: Easy Question

I also work with residents who are in noncertified beds.  If this resident has been in a noncertified bed, then you have not been transmitting their data to the state.  You will need to do a full admission comprehensive assessment.  Follow the OBRA schedule as well as the PPS schedule.  I know this sounds squirrely but this is what is mandated.  You will also need to do a new section AB/AC since this is an admission assessment.   Brenda W.
