If a comprehensive assessment has been completed between the time the SCSA was due and now, then it is not necessary to complete a SCSA, since the comprehensive assessment already completed would have conducted the necessary assessment. If a comprehensive assessment has not been completed since prior to the time that the criteria for the SCSA were met, then it is necessary to complete a SCSA now.

surveyor found a resident that should have had a significant change done
several months ago. Agreed that we missed it and then stated we will
complete one tomorrow. Anything else we need to do?
My opinion is that "You have to do Sig. Correction on the assessment you did previously"
"SEVERAL MONTH AGO"? Which means that prior quaterly was assessed incorrectly
Please read manual for Sig. Correction Good luck!
