"It is very important to understand that a modification to an MDS record will only correct information on that specific record. Consider the case where the resident's birthdate has been submitted in error on an admission assessment and then again on the first quarterly assessment. If the facility submits a correction request to modify the birthdate on the quarterly, then this action will only correct the birthdate on for that quarterly assessment. This modification does not fix the birthdate problem "in general". No change will have been made to the birthdate on the admission assessment. The admission assessment can only be corrected by a modification pertaining to that specific assessment. In general, a modification only corrects a single record. If there are multiple records with the same error, separate modifications must be submitted for each record."

Subject: correctionHello! 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!
