If she was not, and was in the bed at midnight, you would continue as you would have had she returned at 10 PM. If she was admitted to the hospital ( and stranger things have happened) then you would need to do a discharge tracking form, complete the day 5 for the first admission day or take default and then begin counting from readmission for the new day 5. Hope she wasn't admitted, it is cleaner. -----Original Message----- From: Debbie Settle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Mar 1, 2004 8:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: type of assesments 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) ????? /---------------------------------------------------------- The Case Mix Discussion Group is a free service of the American Association of Nurse Assessment Coordinators "Committed to the Assessment Professional" Be sure to visit the AANAC website.
