Re: AA9 signature date citation...HELP!

[Holly Sox, RN, RAC-C]

What about your R2b date?    I can't see a citation for the AA9 sig being 6 days after ARD, because you have 14 days after ARD to complete at R2b.  BUT, if a sig in AA9 was dated after R2b, then you have a problem.   HS   Holly F.

I need quick help please......we received a deficiency on a survey because one of the signatures at AA9  was 6 days after the ARD, the assessment was a SCSA and the ARD was set on day 5 after the resident returned from the hospital.......   I can't find a stipulation on the number of days from the ARD that the AA9 signatures must be entered.   FYI - our staff enter the date they are actually reviewing the printed assessment and signing it.....as this is when they know it is accurate.   Please include documentation.   Thx in advance!
