This is really my feelings also but I
wanted to get a overview of what everyone else thought...just to make sure what
I was planning on doing was correct. Thanks everyone for the
input.

I agree witht the others. It
would be unnecessary to do a SCSA for a resident who is deceased.
Just do the 5 day PPS assessment for payment and the discharge tracking form
and you are finished. I wouldn't spend time updating a care plan after a
resident had died.

Subject: SCSA mds or not?
Just to start out with I want to say THANK YOU to
everyone that offers to share their knowledge here. It has been a
great help. Now to my question.
I have a res. that was originally admitted
back in Nov. Admission assessment with RAPS and CP done back in
Dec. She went to the hospital early in Jan. Returned to our
facility with a new peg tube and tube feeding orders. She returned on
1/20/04. I set her ARD for her 5-day to go through 1/24/04 and had
planned on doing her SCSA with her 14 day assessment so I would have a bit
more information as to how extensive of a SCSA she would be, with ARD set
for 1/31/04 and CP set for 2/5/04. She passed away on 1/24/04.
On 1/20/04 peg tube and the feedings were addressed on her personal POC
kardex. The question I have is 1. Should I change her 5 day PPS
assessment to also be a SCSA assessment, coded dually as a 3/1 or do I
really need to do a SCSA MDS with RAPS as no care planning will be done with
this res as she is deceased. I know I need to do the 5day. But
since RAPS are to guide us to the care planning process do I really have to
go through the work of doing the SCSA and RAPS when she will not be care
planned and the peg tube and feedings are already addressed on the res
specific POC kardex. I would appreciate any input on this.
Thanks. Janice RN, BSN,
