In Michigan, and perhaps as a standard of care?, I was
taught that we had to have at least one care plan in place addressing the
primary problem within 24 hours. This is in both hospitals and in nursing
facilities. I have a preliminary admission care plan which is quick,
simple and dirty, (and if memory serves me right, I think I sent it to you
months ago), which you just date and check off, and it covers almost all the
problems we need. It's good for 21 days, or until you get your "real care
plans" in the chart.

Subject: Admission Care Plan
Hi Y'all,
I was asked a question today that I really should
know the answer to, but discover I do not. What is the regulation
addressing the initial plan of care; ie. after admission, how long does
the facility have to get the initial care plan on the chart. 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.
