Can anyone explain? I didn't really phrase my question correctly. He doesn't understand why you would have a need to utilize grace days 6-8, feeling that projection alone gives the RUG level. Isn't there a minimum number of minutes to have been given by the 5 day Assessment, in conjunction with the projection, which gives the RUG level? For example, the higher the number of minutes ALREADY given, in conjunction with a good projection, would yield a higher RUG level? Is this correct?
