--- Begin Message --- I don't think 5 days mds is necessary because it is for pps which is for payment. resident admitted and discharged to hospitap at the same day and your facility can't send bill anyways. why 5days mds is needed? And it is not for resident's quality of care neither because resident is not there anymore. But discharge tracking is needed to be completed.

Nursing assessment was completed at 5pm and orders were verified and sent to the pharmacy. To make a long story short she fell 3 hours later and hit her head. She was readmitted to the hospital with traumatic head injury. I proceeded as follows: re-entry assessment, 5 day PPS (as she met the presumption of care falling into the upper 26 RUG's) a discharge return anticipated, all reflecting the same date of event (ARD). My Administrator did not want these assessments done stating it would "mess up" the Medicaid bedhold. I contacted the corporate office and was told that these assessments needed to be done. I proceeded as instructed by the corporate office. Today these assessments were deleted from the database (by Administration)
Am I the only one who sees something unethical about Administraion "deleting" these assessments?
This is WORK that someone took the time to do!!
I'd be out the door.
and it now looks like she still has not returned from the original hospitalization. Was I right in doing these assessments? Regardless of pay status, aren't the re-entry and discharge federal requirements at least?
