Was the incorrect assessment a quarterly or a comprehensive assessment? It is
possible to do a significant correction of a prior MDS ( full or quarterly). See
pages 2-13-2-14 and 2-16-2-17 for the manual's instructions.

Subject: need for correcting an assessment that is 90 days ago
We have a new unit manager who had several years of experience prior to
accepting this position. I have found out that the experience she had
regarding MDS coding was not good. I realized the coding she did an an
assessment 3 months ago was inaccurate. What would be the best way to
correct this? The care plan does not really need correction. To look at the
assessment it looks like a SCSA beacuse of the coding. Any ideas?
