I have a Medicare resident who was admitted @ 2:30pm on 02-28-04, was sent
back to hospital (ER) @ 3:00pm due to bleeding from incision line. I was
planning on doing a 5 day MDS w/ ARD on 02-28 today as she had not returned
by the time I left on Friday (02-28). However, when I got here this AM she
had retuned @ 12MN on 02-28 (which is actually the start of 02-29. So should
I do a 5 day w/ ARD of 02-28 and start over w/ "Readmit to medicare" OR
since she was actually "head in the bed" @ MN just do a regular 5 day (and
just consider her the same as she'd returned @ 10pm) ?????
