Re: Missed Assessment

Title: Missed Assessment

You are better doing the assessment late than not at all. Here is what I would do.   Set the ARD for the last day that is acceptable. If this is an Admission Assessment that would be day 14. That date may be a week or more in the past...so be it.  Setting the ARD during the correct date range ensures that the data in the assessment is correct. Your R2b (and VB2 and VB4 if appropriate) has to be the ACTUAL date on which you completed the assessment. It can't be legally backdated. Try to finish the assessment within 14 days of the ARD. If you can't do it, then finish as soon as possible.   Try to submit the assessment within 30 days of the ARD rather that 30 days from completion. This keeps as much of the timing as possible in the correct range.   Nathan ----- Original Message ----- From: rlabarge (Becky LaBarge) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 23, 2004 11:32 AM Subject: Missed Assessment Talkers - help please.  How do you handle missed assessments when you are beyond the 14th day of admission and discover the error? Would you set the ARD for date of discharge and do the assessment after the fact?   Thanks.
