can someone share with me about how their care conferences are schedule for
those residents who have had all therapies d/c'd? we always do a significant
change assessment .....
Seems like a lot of work. I only do sig changes if there has been a measurable change in 2 areas of the mds. Check your RAI manual under sig changes. as far as care conferences. Officially, I do not believe a conference must be held upon d/c from therapy. Therapy should be instructing and informing residents or family regarding changes. If the resident is started on a nursing restorative program, then ongoing instruction would be given. I have worked in multiple facilities in Pennsylvania over the last several years and it has never been a problem with surveyors or UMR team.
