I would like to meet the MDS cord that can finish their raps in the time
study < 75 min and a c/p as well. What am I doing wrong? My raps can take
up to an average of 3hr if have known this person forever and they do not have
any delirium, mood, depression, behavior, urinary inc., pressure ulcers and
don't take psychotropic meds. I just completed a set of raps for a resident
that took me est 10 hrs to complete/just raps, very
complicated, behaviors, falls, wandering, no restraints, psychotropic
meds, you name it............ PLEASE in put. My c/ps are so comprehensive
as well, state has told me numerous times, if they can leave the residents
name off the care plan, look and read the care plan, this should leave no
doubt in their mind this is the resident. Everyone of my care plans have a
golden rule and in nursing their is no such thing as always, but then rules
are made to break? right? Skin care plan and Fall, automatic w/o
?

taking too much time doing the MDS, they say it should only take 20 minutes to
do a MDS. Can anyone help me find the time studies that have been done. It
sure would help to show the powers that be it takes much longer. They have
been told by consultants that AANAC is the ultimate in MDS info, so hopefully
they will believe it if the info comes from here, thanks. Deb
