One of the first things you need to ask is, when was the ARD? Was it
3-14 or before? If it was before you should be able to complete the
assessment as the patient was in the building during the look back period.
I look at it like a PPS assessment that is done and patient d/c'd after the ARD
but not before you completed and signed at R2b.

I agree with Nathan,The
assessment periods is before the res was admitted to hospital so why couldn't
you do it?

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.

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!
