RE: Time studies

[chnha]

I think the time demand will vary with the type of assessment.   What do you think is a reasonable amount of time? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Brenda Chance Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 8:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Time studies Maybe you should have your administrator sit down with you while you do an MDS, including all prep time.  That is ridiculous.    Brenda W.

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.
