Surveyors Here & Wouldn't You Know Murphy's Law Strikes Twice, advice please quickly

[Kathy Archibald]

Ok, we did an annual on a resident in Sept 03.  So, of course, the surveyors picked her to look at, and lo and behold, when they looked at her last MDS (anyway what we thought should have been dated 9/19/03) instead of that annual, the cover sheet was stapled to a copy of her admit from year 2000.  Ward Clerk thinks she must have hit the wrong 'sequence number' to print the MDS when we were done entering, and didn't notice it, and stapled it to all of the paperwork for the annual.  Then, Mr. Murphy strikes for the second time, and not only did we not notice the wrong MDS had been printed, we didn't get team signatures on the (wrong) MDS, so again, we didn't notice it. My question now: we did this MDS on the correct date (9/19/03) but never printed it out and obtained signatures.  What date do we use when we sign, the date we entered the data into the system, or today?  It was transmitted and accepted by the state in September.  Thank you, and I promise you we are not the idiots this example would portray.
