Yes, you need to correct the first 2. The identifying information was incorrect and
the state would not rec ognize the correct resident. The system would have 2
residents in the data base ( 1 male and 1 female) so would not be correctly tracking
his history. A modication form will correct the assessment.

Subject: ? CORRECTION NEEDED
Hi Group,
I have a patient that was with us first for only 7 days, 5 day MDS
done coded 00/1. discharge tracking done 08. He is now back. I completed
his 2nd 5 day MDS coded 00/1. Transmission of all three assessments was
done at the same time. on the first set, I had an error for gender (coded
female instead of male.) On the most recent 5 day MDS, his gender is
correct. Do I need to correct the first 2 or no because they were not OBRA
MDS? (also, this is not a Medicare patient).
Thanks!!
