Yes, they do in EVERY state. Page 1-27 of the manual discusses the need to have 15 months of MDS data in the active chart before it can be thinned to the medical records department. It then states, "The exception is that face sheet information (Sections AB,AC,and AD) must be maintained in the active record until the resident is permanently discharged."

In PA, do these face sheets done with the admission assessment always need to remain on the chart until it is permanently closed? Thanks
