I don't think that you can do an OMRA to capture a rehab RUG.  You would
just complete the next scheduled assessment, if you think you can get a
rehab RUG by using the earliest date for that type of assessment then you
can do that but I would think that when therapy D/C's again, you would have
to complete another OMRA at that point to drop back out of the rehab RUG.

Subject: question for all- help


If a resident with a tube feeding goes back on therapy (previously an OMRA
was done to deternine non therapy RUG) then do you do an OMRA 8-10 days
after back on therapy???  And what if the therapy is only for a few days.
The manual pages I'm looking at talk about the OMRA as determining a non
therapy RUG.  Any help I could get by 4pm today would be appreciated as I
will be away for the next month.   Thank you ahead of time.
