Surveyors look for interim careplan last visit,
which we keep in secondary file after finalized careplan done.
Donnie, Pa.
I was taught in nursing school (going back to
1971) that we had to have at least one care plan in the chart on the major
problem before you left the floor after the patient was
admitted. I thought it was a standard of care.

I am a busy today, however, the reference I use is in
the SOM. It instructs the surveyors to look for a care plan
'started on admission'.

As far as I know any regulation
would be state specific. It is a common standard of care that
the care plan is started upon admission with the first
assessment. In Washington state we need to have a working care
plan in the record by day 7. On day one the surveyors seem to
expect a pretty good problem list and the beginning of
interventions.
