RE: Sig change assessments

[Patricia Whitcomb]

Title: Message

We use Achieve Datacare Plus & there is 1 # that will allow you to change the date or reason but this is only if the assessment has not been closed.  Once it has been closed it must be deleted & then a new assessment, with the same ARD but different reason put in in.     Pat Whitcomb, RN MDS Coordinator Madonna Towers 507-288-3911, Ext. 3050 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nathan Lake Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 3:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Sig change assessments Does your software allow you to change AA8b from a 5 to a 3? Do that, put in the additional data and you should be done.   Nathan ----- Original Message ----- From: Michelle Witges To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 1:09 PM Subject: Sig change assessments This is probably a dumb question but what the heck.  While doing a quarterly MDS it is noted that resident has had improvement in several area's.  It is it necessary to do an entire new assessment or can I use info from quarterly open a sig change assessment and use that information?  Keeping the same ARD or do I need to use a new ARD?    Of course RAPs and careplan changes will occur.  Thanks, Michelle   This message is confidential, intended only for the named recipient(s) and may contain information that is privileged or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
