I am in a 180 bed facility. 90 sub acute and 90 LTC. We have 1 LPN for the LTC and 3 RNs for the Sub Acute. I am the "coordinator" for the whole MDS team (us plus 5 other departments). When we get in a tight spot the risk manager does some assessments as does the Education RN. We have on average 5 - 10 admissions to the sub acute side every day. It's busy, but we all work together. We are now in the process of training the CNAs to document the ADLs on all three shifts instead of the nurses and we are finally going to start using the MPAF this month. Hopefully both will be a timesaver. Now if we can just get billing to understand the midnight rule....and that not everyone admitted in a month must be completed and submitted by the 7th of the next month.

Hi Dawn,And welcome to cmdg. Your email addy is new to me.This was discussed earlier this week, and I think the answers ranged from about 1 RNAC/40 residents (Dreamland, in my opinion. I wanna move there) to 1/100+. I have been the only RNAC for 118 beds, dually certified with about 15-20 Medicare on average. Also do all the preadmission screenings, coordinate admission process. We have 2 separate buildings, so it is quite a challenge.I have an assistant who started Monday. She will be handling the 21-bed satellite SNF unit in our CCRC down the street.Again, welcome to the group. It's a wonderful source of info and support.Holly----- Original Message -----From: dawnSent: Wednesday, January 07, 2004 5:49 AMSubject: how many?Would anyone kindly tell me how many RNAC's are in your facility? Or how many residents you have if you are the only RNAC?1 for 97
