Hello, all:
I know I've seen this subject discussed before, but I can't clearly
remember the answer.
We are doing a change of condition on a resident who has had only minor
changes, but the surveyers wanted it done. (We did ok, but not the perfect
survey of the past 2 years. Plus, they had the feds shadowing them so they
were in worse shape than we were.)
Anyhow, my question is concerning the RAPS that we do with a scsa. This
resident really didn't change all that much; 3 to 4 in eating, more
inappropriate behaviors than before. It seems I remember that we don't have
to do all the RAPS all over again, just the ones with the changes. He had
an Annual Assessment done in December, so the RAPS were pretty much up to
date.
Is my memory correct? I hope!!
Thanks for all the good information I get on this listserve.
