Okay, first off is this a Medicare A admission? Next, what type of an assessment and discharge did you complete? If it was not an admission then your d/c should be d/c prior to completion. Then when they came back you would not need to do a re-entry. You would put the date of re-entry at A4a. If they are Medicare then it would be re-admission assessment and start your clock again with the re-entry date. Hope this makes sense. Michelle

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. > > > > NOTICE: This confidential message/attachment contains information intended > for a specific individual(s) purpose.
