Re: Foley on the MDS

You din't say when your ARD was.  If it was within 14 days of the day the foley was discontinued even if not in place at the ARD.  Page 3-125 under coding states"Check all that apply.  These items should be coded if a resident has,or has had any of the items during the 14-day observation period.  Items that were in use during the observation period but were discontinued should be included.  For example, if the resident had an indwelling catheter at the beginning of the observation period and it was later discontinued, the indwelling catheter would be coded." ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2004 6:58 PM Subject: Foley on the MDS If a patient was admitted with a foley and then on day 2 at 6am foley was dc'ed do you count it on the mds as the pt had a foley or not?????
