How many hours do you work a week? They got rid of my assistant! So this has been my first week doing it all myself. 99 bed, usually run 8-10-12-14 medicare at any given time ( and admissions LOVES to admit them all the same week!). I verify all entries on the mds (might as well be doing it myself!), scheduling, submission, careplans, meetings, reports, and filing. Probably missed something. Rarely have I been pulled to the floor, but as of now, I will NOT be. I also used to be the wound team. I am trying to refuse that as well, but so far..... we'll see

How about I do all the above for a 120 bed facility that has currently 30 Med A's, and do NOT have anyone to help me? One of these days I am going to change my address to the facility......

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

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.
June
