Subject: LPN's Role in MDS
|
What parts of the MDS process can be done
by an LPN? Can they initiate RAP's and Care Plans and have RN
co-signature? Currently working the state of Ohio. Is this a by state
issue? Please give some ideas on what LPN's do in your facility as far
as working in the MDS office.
In responseb to your question-What in the
world can a little LPN do? Well I have een doing MDS and care plans for
the past 10 years in a facility in New Jersey and in Maine. I also have
the initials RAC-C. The RN which has been the A DON signs for completion
and I sign for accuracy. In Maine my error rate is O% and in N.J that
was not done but my surveys were always good ones. So if that answers
your question. Don't be so down on LPN's you would be surprized what
they can do!
