Even if all the information in the assessment was the same and the only thing that would be different is the type of assessment?  I guess this confuses me because to me the assessment was completed on the original R2b and to me the assessment is the same.  Why couldn't you date on the attestation form the date you inactivated the assessment?  To me the assessment of the Resident did not change and they completed the assessment by the original R2b date.  Fortunately I have not had to do this and hope I don't have to but if I ever do I just want to understand it.  Debbie Nichols, RN, RAC-C ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 06, 2004 11:52 AM Subject: Re: mpaf 30 vs 60 After inactivating the record, the next step is to create and submit a new, original MDS record.  Since this is a new, original record, the R2b date would be the date the new assessment was completed - not the date the inactivated assessment was completed.  See the MDS correction policy at http://www.qtso.com/mdsdownload.html Rena Rena R.
