The ARD sets the endpoint for all assessment; see page 3-29 of the MDS User Manual (December 2002). All assessment looks back, not forward, of this date. There is no date for AA9; this is just a signature by hand once the MDS is printed. We use a log so the team can initial and date when they completed the MDS and RAPs so they are confident when it is time to sign that the signature corresponds to the actual date of completion of their portion (we assign disciplines to specific sections of the MDS for completion).

No it should not be the ARD. Any time within the 7 days
after ARD that you are allowed to complete the assessment.

What date needs to be on AA9? Am I correct in assuming it
should not be the reference date, since you assess through midnight?
Thanks for the help.
