RE: Admission Care Plan

[Winona M. Phelps]

Hi Holly.  Check your state regs.  For instance, in Oregon, we have an OAR (Oregon Administrative Rule) that states "A licensed nurse shall develop a preliminary resident care plan within 24 hours of admission."

I found the reg on comprehensive care plan, but cannot find anything specific to an admission care plan.   Is there an actual time frame, or is it one of those things that's open to interpretation?   Thank you in advance.   Holly Holly F.
