Re: Section T

But how can the doctor predict that without the therapist evaluating? Alot of patients are just plain getting transferred from the hospital way to soon. Specially if they have to go back that quick. We had a guy admitted Dec 23rd back to the hospital 24th and there till the 29th. Pneumonia.  Another admitted the 15th, sent to hospital 24th for GI bleed, returned 25th, and back to the hospital 29th for four more days for the GI bleed they didn't fix the first time around. Just to clean up for the weekend. It gets ridiculous.    Original Message ----- From: Nathan Hotmail To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2004 8:56 AM Subject: Re: Section T If the Dr. had written a complete order, including how much therapy he anticipated to be delivered,  you could have projected minutes.   i.e. Physical therapy, up to 300 minutes per week, as per eval to be performed by PT.   Nathan ----- Original Message ----- From: Holly Sox, RN, RAC-C To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2004 3:43 AM Subject: Re: Section T You got it. Can't project minutes when no eval was done.  Do the MDS based on hospital info and the skilled nursing provided.   HS     Holly F.
