Some MDS Nurses chose to do annuals vs. sig. change. Personally I do the Sig. change....but the team did capture the level of functioning....etc...etc...sooooo....I would not do a thing. In regards to the RAPS...you or have her do a Global Narrative which would include the various changes that have taken place, the items you may be putting in place (or whatever). Not every team member is required to complete the RAPS...one person can do this.

I have just found out that one of my MDS nurses decided that an annual assessment that was completed in early February, signed and submitted, should have been a Significant Change. She is right, should have been a Significant Change. The real problem is ,however, that she got so upset that she missed the SCSA that she ripped up the RAPS that she(and others) had completed for the annual. Now, I have an annual submitted to the state that should have been a SCSA and no RAPs to go with it. Any suggestions about how to save this one? > > /---------------------------------------------------------- > 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.
