My facility is having a problem with completion dates on care plans. Long term care plan goals have 3 month time frames. I think that the update must not go beyond this time frame i.e. 10-20-03 goal must be updated by 1-20-03 or earlier. The problem is MDS end dates sometimes go past this date. I have always made sure to not schedule end dates past the day the CCP needs updating but the other MDS scheduler has not. Administrator wants me to change my schedule and says that the people completing CCP just need to be aware not to update CCP beyond the 3 month time frame. I think this leaves too wide a margin for error and do not know how to convince her of this. Also, I have always given team 1 week to complete MDS, now I am being told I must give 2 weeks between start and end dates which in my mind will only result in more frequent assessments and more room for mistakes on care plan dates. Any ideas/feedback?
