Unless the assessment was a Medicare 14 day comprehensive assessment, signing it 6
days after the ARD is not a deficiency.

I need quick help please......we received a deficiency on a survey because one of the
signatures at AA9 was 6 days after the ARD, the assessment was a SCSA and the ARD was
set on day 5 after the resident returned from the hospital.......
I can't find a stipulation on the number of days from the ARD that the AA9 signatures
must be entered.
FYI - our staff enter the date they are actually reviewing the printed assessment and
signing it.....as this is when they know it is accurate.
Please include documentation.
Thx in advance!
