We have about 80 res long term and 25-3o Medicare res. I do all Medicare res and another NAC does long term. I do the submissions for the whole building. For Medicare res only I set the ARD date, do the MDS, DO the RAPS and care plans and continued tracking while on Medicare .I attend the family meetings, admission meeting daily, I run the weekly Medicare meeting and document why res continues to remain skilled, I meet with Rehab 3 mornings a week to discuss rug issues. I do the re entry's and discharges. When I have time I attend a weekly pt care committee. I do have another NAC that helps me 2 days a week. We do about 15-20 comprehensive assessments a week along with several 5 day assesmnets.Depends on what problems are happening that day.
Hope this helps CAR -----Original Message----- From: June Brunelle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2004 5:00 PM To: aanac Subject: number of mds's... 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.
