The Provider instructions for MDS Correction policy (http://www.qtso.com/download/mds/PrMn1002.pdf)  indicate that "for MDS records accepted after implementation of correction policy, facilities should correct any errors that misrepresent the resident's identification, location, overall clinical status, or payment status (p. 1-9).  It also states, "If there are multiple records with the same error, separate modifications must be submitted for each record" (p. 1-13).

Hello!   Please help me out with this:   The surveyors are in our facility since yesterday.   They saw that the information for one resident's range of motion was not accurate and that they wanted me to transmit a correction.   My question (and theirs, too) is if I need to submit a correction for the latest MDS only or do I need to submit a correction for the previous ones as well?   Your immediate help is greatly appreciated.   Thanks in advance!
