After
completing a the RUG III, Supporting Documentation and Case Mix Reimbursement
class that deals with the system for Medicaid and RUG reimbursement, our
facility has hit a brick wall in regards to the documentation. Specifically 7
day 14 day and 30 day(look back period) documentation that would support the
MDS. We are trying without success to get the documentation we need. How has
every one been dealing with this change? Are you using the same documentation as
before? Has anyone come up with assessments just for Medicaid documentation and
the specific look back periods? Are your staff complying? If not then what? One
thing that stands out from the class was that best way to get accurate
documentation from the staff for the 7 day look back for ADL's is to have only
licensed staff document for those 7 days. What is everyone doing? If you have
any documentation or a helpful solution I would love to hear it
or see it. I realize this may be a time consuming question but please know your
response is appreciated. I look for this information on the website daily
and don't see anything which makes me think someone's got this figured out.
Thanks for your undying support. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
