I have found thru the years that delirium is very difficult for SS to do correctly, since it is truly an acute condition & usually driven or caused by a medical instability of some sort. Either strive to have nursing & SS do together or defer it to nursing and you will see a better analysis/assessment of it.

--- Begin Message ---It is good to hear that I am not the only Cord that puts everything into the MDS. I do require that the therapy's check the minutes before I transmit to the state, and currently my ADON/ DON are doing the nutrition/dehydration/tube feeds, raps, assessments and progress notes. We have an activity director and social worker that put absolutely nothing into the MDS. Our s.w. is not capable of complexed thoughts. Sorry that sounded ugly, but so true. I have the activity director and social worker, read the raps, review the MDS sections that they should be filling out and require their signature. It is very draining to do this much work, it takes me anywhere from 3-6 hrs to do raps and further time for a good care plan...................By the way what are the sections a good social worker should be filling out....? I feel that delirium, cognitive, psychosocial, behavior, depression and mood are appr for a s.w.? any suggestions out there. Thanks
