RE: QI on low risk and hi risk incontinence

[Dena Babcock]

Residents that will trigger high are coded 3 or 4 in H1b or H1a excluding those who are comatose or have a catheter or ostomy, and you also have to look at cognitive impairment and G1a, b, e if it is a 4 in all areas then they will code high.  Low risk will be all 2’s and 3’s and G1a, b, e of 3 or less.  Hope that helps   Dena J Babcock RN Briody Health Care Facility   -----Original Message----- From: ruthg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2004 12:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: QI on low risk and hi risk incontinence   Can anyone tell me what triggers a low risk or a high risk resident on incontinence.
