Hi Paul! The ADL index score affects the following classifications; Rehabilitation (R=Rehab, L,M,H,V,or U= # of minutes delivered, and A,B, or C = ADL Score) and same with Special Care, Clinically Complex, Impaired Cognition, Behavior, and Physical Function.. The 4 late loss ADLs self-performance and support are used to calculate the score, which can be from 4-18. The 4 late loss ADLs are bed mobility, transfers, eating, and toileting. I would not code all 8s for a resident in a coma. Staff should be repositioning, possibly transferring, feeding (per tube), and toileting (foley or incontinent care). Have a great day!! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Beaulne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, January 31, 2004 9:02 AM Subject: RE: How does RUG deal with classification of residents in a comma
Do you code all of G1 A and B part as 8 activity did not occur -----Original Message----- From: carol maher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 31, 2004 12:39 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: How does RUG deal with classification of residents in a comma Residents who are comatose usually code out as CC1 or CC2. They would be totally dependent for ADLS so have an ADL score of 18. If they have other problems like ulcers, or procedures like IVs or trachs they could RUG out higher. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Beaulne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 30, 2004 10:40 AM Subject: How does RUG deal with classification of residents in a comma I was curious as to how bed mobility, transfer, eating, and toileting are coded? I know that the CPS score is set to 6. What RUG group are they usually put into? /---------------------------------------------------------- The Case Mix Discussion Group is a free service of the American Association of Nurse Assessment Coordinators "Committed to the Assessment Professional" Be sure to visit the AANAC website.
