You could code it as a 0/1. You are required to do an OBRA admission assessment by day 14. So you could just write a note stating comprehensive assessment not done as resident discharged on such and such date.

I work in a hospital based SNF, average LOS in 12 days. What my question is, is, if the patient is discharged on day 14, do I have to code my 5 day as a 1/1 or can I code it as 0/1. I am confused about when exactly you are required to do the OBRA assessment by.
