We have developed an admission assessment that addresses many of the MDS questions
,the admission nurse does it.Our rehab eval addresses
cognition,vision,hearing,etc,also our H&P is usually done by the RNPs who also address
vision,hearing,cog,and dentition,etc.I look at all this info when I do those MDS
sections.If there is any question of what is correct I redo the assessment myself and
write a note.It is really great to have all this documentation as I then can refer to
it on my rap summary.Our speech eval is also great for cognitive questions and
dental[chewing].
