We had this problem in HH a while back. The surveyor insisted that the proper way to write the goal would be dating when you thought (guesstimate) when the wound would heal (up to 1 year) then update the care plan at that time.

That is ludicrous!  Ask her to explain to you how you can predict an actual date it will be healed.

State is in and the facility will probably be getting written up on care plans.  Resident has a MD order for a �Foley until wound heals�. Care Plan states that the Foley will be d/cd once the wound is healed.  Signs and symptoms of UTI are also addressed on this Care Plan.  State Surveyor stated the Care Plan needed an actual date of when the Foley would be discontinued. 

Come on!!

Have these people ever been involved in direct patient care?
