Per the RAI manual a sig change is with 2 or more declines or
improvements.With wt loss there is often another area that has changed. Some
facilities will have a policy that a sig change has to be done with wt
loss.

Subject: significant change assessment
If a resident had a significant weight loss and no other areas of decline would you schedule a significant change assessment(or do you need 2 areas of decline)?
Thanks
