-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2004 2:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Would you capture depression for this resident? Resident admitted from another facility, sketchy information accompanying. Had been on Paxil and ordered Paxil on admission here but had no depression diagnosis documented from former facility. Our Psychiatrist wrote the depression diagnosis 2 days after the ARD, when he first saw her. Do you think depression could be claimed on the admission MDS? There will definitely be a care plan for depression. /---------------------------------------------------------- The Case Mix Discussion Group is a free service of the American Association of Nurse Assessment Coordinators "Committed to the Assessment Professional" Be sure to visit the AANAC website.
