Bryan,
We usually code the discharge tracking form as a
Discharge return Not anticipated AA8a=6, if residents go AWOL or discharge
against medical advice. In Section R, it depends if we know where they
are going. For residents who go AWOL, just up and leave we code as "9"
Other, for discharge information. If a resident leaves AMA and states
that they are going home, I would code 1. So, depends on the
situation.

Hi everyone, If a resident leaves the facility AMA how
do you code it on the MDS?? I think it wold be "8" (other) as it is
not a DC home as it would be in a normal discharge.
Thanks!
