You can do quarterlies daily or Sig. changes daily, if you're so disposed, but you might want to have a psych check up first. There are no restrictions on doing early assessments if not PPS. The facility is wrong. See the manual. ----- Original Message ----- From: "carol maher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2003 11:44 AM Subject: Re: ARD dates
> There is no regulation about how early a quarterly can be done. It is acceptable to do 4 quarterlies in a year if you want. The R2b can be no later than the R2b of the previous assessment, but no regulation about a date that would be too soon. Her facility's software might be the issue. Some software's have parameters to use so the MDS scheduler will work. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Debbie Settle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Dec 2, 2003 7:55 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: ARD dates > > I have been talking with another MDS Coordinator in the area about ARD > dates.
