Janice Martin, RN MDS Coordinator The resident was not in our facility on 01/11/04 therefore I cannot do a OMRA since therapy was never started in our facility.  She was admitted on 01/13/04 and was no therapy for 3 weeks.  My question being can I skill her for those 3 weeks based on her getting this IV on 01/11/04?
