At my current facility, they do not do this. Administration would like them to do this for two reasons: 1. increased revenue and 2. staff know how to take care of this resident i.e. what they can do or how many required for transfers. We were wondering if anyone does this and if so do you have anything that says it is okay. > > Davina DeMerritt, RN > > > > /---------------------------------------------------------- > > The Case Mix Discussion Group is a free service of the > > American Association of Nurse Assessment Coordinators > > "Committed to the Assessment Professional" > > Be sure to visit the AANAC website.
