If the residnet has full ROM with passive ROM, then
there is no contracture. Re-read the definitions for the 672

This looks like a brand new definition of a
contracture. If you can do ROM it is not a contracture

Subject: Survey Says....re section
G
Just finished our survey, and I was cited for
not coding section G ROM accurately, and not coding contractions on
672. My question here is...can I do a significant correction of a
prior assessment to correct section G, or can I wait until the next
MDS. I am pretty sure the answer will be do a correction, but the
surveyor told me to wait until the next MDS. Surveyors told me that
even though the resident has passive range of motion in the joint,
because they can't do active ROM I need to code as contracture.
Thanks.
