The omission of not checking the I.V. that occurred in the acutecare stay,and not checking off O2 which was used on readmission[16 hours only]would impact the plan of care.I wanted only to be able to capture a higher Rug for reimbursement only.I ,thank the person who works for a company that adits MDS'.I was looking to see if any MDS coordinators have the time to do it within their own organization.I know my company in these financially difficult times would not want to pay for an audit.I would say at least 85% of my Rugs are in a rehab category.We do alot of short term rehab.I guess I should initiate our own internal audit.There is another MDS person besides myself.She prob could do a 2nd check on those only in a nsg Rug.Always something to ponder.If there only was more time. We have a couple of people from our main corporate office that check a sample of our MDS's about 1-2 times per year. That's it. I'm the only MDS coordinator at our small facility. I should figure out a system to double check more often.
