Re: Type of Review needed?

I need to clarify my response below.   You can also combine any PPS MDS with any OBRA MDS, not just a sign change as my post below makes it sound.  This saves a lot of work.  ----- Original Message ----- From: Janice To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2004 5:11 PM Subject: Re: Type of Review needed? PPS MDS's do not change the OBRA assessment dates unless you have also done a sign change assessment combined with a Medicare assessment.  You would still need to do his annual assessment. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tanya Jordan To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2004 2:03 PM Subject: Type of Review needed? I have confused myself and need some clarification on what type of review to do now. I have a resident that went to the hospital on 12/2 and returned on 12/5, We skilled him for medication adjustment and Behavior Management. We did a Medicare 5 day  on 12/9, we did not do a sign change assessment. He was no longer skilled around 12/14 so his Medicare was cut. What I need to know is, do we have to do an annual assessment in Jan or do we start the schedule over with the Medicare 5 day assessment?. If he had not been skilled for those few days he would be due his annual review.   Tanya Jordan, RNAC Homewood Retirement Centers Williamsport, MD Fax 301-582-1819 Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
