You need to do an assessment for Qtr's. It is so important and can be detrimental if not done, not for the facility, but the resident. I don't know what state you are in, but here in N.C. q survey we have, they look. It is also very valuable for us to know if current diet is appropriate for that resident.

We have recently hired a new Dietician and she is changing how things are done. She is saying that she only needs to review the charts for the new admissions, significant changes, and annuals. Our previous dietician reviewed charts quarterly. The chart reviews have now been delegated to our CDM. Is this standard practice? > Melissa > >Melissa Hixenbaugh RN,RAC-C ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) >"You must always see with the heart.
