One time they found a behavior on the 30th day that the SW did not capture. I suggest that when the facility gets burned, the powers will pay attention. Maybe a QI initiative might help. -----Original Message----- From: Suzanne Holko [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 09, 2004 10:07 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Problem with Activities section Rena, or anyone with knowledge about section N: We are having a hard time with the activities department completing the MDS timely. They completely disregard the ARD. The AD said she didn't care about the ARD, that it doesn't mean a damn thing to her. They have to do a 30 day assessment. Now, I know the RAI manual says 7 day look back for all of section N. She has the LTC calendar with the ARD of January 26 already completed and is now wanting the new (Feb) calendar. As a matter of fact, dietary also works ahead. If we don't give it to her, she goes to the powers that be and complains. So we end up giving in. If I can get in writing that she has to follow the ARD like every other department, maybe it will do some good. Thank you in advance! Suzanne _____ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
