The raps have to be completed by the date
in Vb2. This is the date that the RN signs and verifies that the raps have been
completed.

Rap;s neet to be completed by the
day the MDS is signed at R2B, and you then have another 7 days to get the care
plans completed. They might not need to be ON THE CHART by day 21, but
they do need to be available to clinical staff.

RAPS TO CHART
RAPs, which should include your
decision to careplan, are to be completed by day 14 for an Admission OBRA MDS.
RAI User’s Manual VB2:
Date
that the RN coordinating the RAP assessment process certifies that the RAPs
have been completed. The RAP review must be completed no later than day 14
from the admission date for an Admission assessment and within 14 days of the
Assessment Reference Date (A3a) for an Annual assessment, Significant Change in
Status assessment, or a Significant Correction of a Prior Full assessment.
This date is considered the date of completion for the RAI (i.e., the date used
to determine compliance with Federal time frames for assessment and the date
that drives future due dates for when the RAI needs to be completed).
(p. 3-238)
The Careplans are to be completed no
later than day 21.

A center in the area got cited for
"not having the RAPS on the chart in a
timely basis." Do they need to be actually on the chart by day
21? Our
procedure is that they are complete by day 21 and in the care plan nurse's
box along with the MDS until she completes the care plan 7 days later.
She
then posts the RAPS and MDS and the care plans go to our DON for signature
(SB 1202 in Florida). After they are signed, they go to the chart.
Do we
need to change our procedure and have them on the chart earlier?
