you do not do an OMRA when therapy picks up. Only do one
when therapy d/c 8-10 days after they d/c.

Subject: OMRA OR NOT PLS HELP..
I have a question to the
group. we have a resident under part A. She is on nonweight bearing status.
Was on bedrest. But last monday, Ortho. orderd her to maybe up in w/c as
tolerated still on non weight bearing status. We did already 5 day assmnt. and
she is due for 14th day tomorrow. MD ordered for PT Tx as of today. Physical
Therapy is saying that we will proceed to do 14th day assmnt with ARD today
and will do OMRA later so we can have therapy RUG score. Im
confused, I thought that OMRA is being done only if therapy is discontinued
but remains to be on part A. She was saying that we can also do OMRA to change
Rug score from Nursing to therapy if resident is pick up by therapy in the
later part. Pls help me with this. Rena if you are there, pls
reply.
thanks
