Re: Missing Care Plan Date

[Holly Sox, RN, RAC-C]

Claudia, You understand my point.  In the RAP Review I state that D/C is planned for approximately day 20 or 21. If they are in the building on day 21, you really do need the care plan, even though it will be primarily focused on D/C planning needs.   But, if they leave the facility prior to the careplan being done (before day 21), then on the RAP Summary, I answer "No" to the care planning decision, and then use the D/C date for VB4.   Does that help?     HS Holly F.

I am confused. Help. Thank you Usually if they leave on the am of their 21st day, I don't do a care plan, since that is the due date for the c/p Thanks Claudia >From: "Holly Sox, RN, RAC-C" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: Missing Care Plan Date >Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2004 07:23:11 -0500 > >Missing Care Plan DateI use the date of discharge, reply No to all care planning decisions.  Essentially means that the care plan is complete for that assessment, as I chose to not care plan any of the RAPs. The reason is explained within the RAP review statement. > > >Holly F.
