Greetings,
Our facility is looking at making some changes. Would like to know from the
group what is considered a reasonable number of MDS's that one could do in a
weeks time. We are a dually certified facility. Is it realistic to be
resposible for 82 residents to which I would be responsible for coding a
good portion of the mds and overseeing that other departments do their part
in a timely manner? I would also be doing the submissions for the entire
facility plus the careplans and going to the careplan meetings. We have a
total cencus of 156 with another person who will do the other approx. half..
It seems that on some weeks this could be a heavy load for anyone person to
handle...especially when one could have several full or comprehensive
assessments. What are some pros and cons that I can bring back to our
follow up meeting this friday.
Thanks in advance. All thoughts appreciated.
June
