I agree..no problem. The rules allow you to combine the two asssessments,
but do not require that you do so.

chart
I don't see 2 assessments as a problem. It might have been easier to
combine, but like you mentioned, she maybe didn't realize the annual was due.
Either way would be considered correct. Obviously the MPAF did not have enough
information to be used as an annual.

I just completed an audit and I found a resident with 2
MDSs in the chart - exact dates for everything (A3a, R2b etc). The
difference is one is marked as an annual (it is a full) and one is marked as
a 5 day PPS (MPAF form) - before I talk to the MDS coordinator - I am
guessing either she forgot to code the full as a PPS or the MPAF was done
and she was due for an annual and she forgot, so she ended up with 2
assessments - my question is - is this the best way to handle this? Thanks
in advance.
