Depends
on the dates. Section H is a 14 day look back period. He most likley was
admitted to hospital and discharged back to SNF within this time frame. If
so, I'd code it here. I would not list it in section I if it is truly resloved
once he came back.
-----Original Message-----If a patient went to the hospital and was admitted with fecal impaction, do I check the fecal impaction section in MDS and do I put it in the diagnosis column when patient returns? Thank you.
