We had a person who had comprehensive assessment done 9/03. Then had
Quarterly done 12/03. Had next Quarterly done late in month of 2/04. Here
is the problem....the 12/03 quarterly showed ADL decline due to pain in two
areas. . The 2/04 Quarterly shows ADL improvement in those areas due to pain
control. The 2/04 Quarterly also reflects foley cath discontinued and
changes in continence. The care plan reflects all this in an accurate
manner.I know the ADL decline was not permanent. However none of the
assessments was ever done as a Significant Change Assessment. Any comments
or suggestions on what we should or should not do? Just discovered this
today. Thanks.
