Re: QI on low risk and hi risk incontinence

[Hallock]

If dashes are being placed in short term memory for residents who are unable to respond i.e. dementia residents with aphasia, it will throw these residents from hi risk to low risk.  Myers and Stouffer states that their software does not read a dash. Might start checking there.  My QI definitions are at work so will forward this and send more info tomorrow. -----Original Message----- From: ruthg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wednesday, March 03, 2004 12:40 PM 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. Where in the MDS does this pull from . Example some totally incontinent people trigger hi some low. Any input you have will be greatly appreaciated. Thanks in advance.
