A Significant Correction assessment should be
completed when a Major Error is found in an OBRA clinical assessment. A
Major Error is one that significantly misrepresents the resident's clinical
status. A clinical assessment that indicates the resident has no
pressure ulcers when the resident did have a pressure ulcer during the
assessment period is a misrepresentation of the resident's clinical
status. I believe that a Significant Correction assessment would be
warranted.

Have a
resident who developed a stage 2 pressure ulcer the day before
the
MDS
ARD. The nurse missed coding this on his mds. Treatment orders
were
in
place and being carried out the day the wound was found and a
wound care
plan for risk for pressure ulcers was in place and was updated
shortly
after
the ulcer treatment was started.. The question is: Do
you do a
modification
or a significant correction assessment in this
case. Thanks.
