You would be doing a discharge
assessment which would discharge them from the system then readmit them when
they returned. Then decide what type of assessment you would do. I agree that
you can not do the assessment if they are not there.

I totally disagree. Since you have an ARD, it appears you
have started the assessment. The ARD was prior to her leaving for the hospital
so what may happen during that hospital stay is irrelevant. Do the
assessment as you normally would. Get that R2b date on time to avoid
complaince issues.

NO you can not do the assessment when she is not in the
building. I realize you know her very well, but she may have
something else going on that you can't tell about while she is in the
hospital. What you need to do is first, make a note in the chart
that her assessment was due on (put in date) but she is in the
hospital. When your res. returns then make a note that she was
re-admited to the facility, and that you will be monitoring for 14
days. Then due the assessment at the end of the 14 days. Does
that make sense? But you can not do an assessment on a person who is
not in the building. It would be like your doctor telling the
insurance company that he done a pap smear on you, but on the day it was
to be done, you were in the Carribean on a cruise.
Subject: Resident out to Hospital!
Need ASAP Please!
Hello Everyone,
I need some clarity please! I have a resident who was admitted
to the hospital on 03/14. 03/15 was day 92 for a quarterly
assessment(Medicaid). I am sure she will return in a couple of days
therefore I d/ced her with return anticipated. My question is now what
do I do when she comes back to the facility. Her ARD was 03/08 so
technically I have 7 days of look back info. Can I do this assessment
without her here? I know this resident very well and have contact
almost daily. Thanks!
