This is from page 3-12 of the RAI Manual...MDS Background (Face Sheet) Information at Admission, Sections AB, AC, AD.....(bolding mine)
This section is completed once, when the resident first enters the nursing facility. The face sheet is also required if the resident is admitted to the facility following a discharge return not anticipated. With any assessment, all background (face sheet) items in Sections AB and AC are optional in an all-or-none fashion. If using the MPAF, Items AB5a-f must be submitted alone or with the entire face sheet.

Could some cite the source stating a Significant Change MDS does NOT require Sections AB,AC to be filled out again?
Software company feels these sections are required with SCSA Assessments.
Thanks
