Sounds as if you are lacking infrastructure!

This is a problem at our facility as well. No one in the facility
has access to the Common Working File and it is a real pain getting the
information on a timely basis. We have to wait for our Business Manager
to get the information from her boss at corporate and then have it sent to
us. We also don't have internet access at work either and this is a pain
when wanting to look something up on CMS or AANAC, ect. But getting the
correct Medicare information is really a problem at times.
Perhaps the Common Working File has the
information you are looking for.

Our Case Manager/Discharge Planner needs to know how to easily find
out if a pt that acute care wants to send to us has any remaining Medicare
days and how many they might have. Isn't there some way she can find
this out? Especially for pts who are also in and out of other
Skilled Nursing Facilities in addition to our Acute Care hospital and
attached Transitional Care Facility---and all of this may be part of the
same illness with no healthy period in
between.
