Hi all,
I have a new admission that goes to the hospital before the 14 day assessment. The
appropriate discharge tracking form is completed.When they return a reentry form is
done and the MDS is scheduled.The background info was gotten and completed by
admissions on the initial MDS.When the MDS is completed it will have the initial date
of completion for the background info. This comes up as an error stating that the
assessment is late according to the AB1 date.I have gotten 2 different answers for
this and would like your opinion as to how to avoid getting these errors.
