monthly summaries time is over

[Tjfrnac59]

hello everyone,
             last few years we've been discussing getting rid of the burden of monthly summaries. nobody has followed thru yet but i really can't see continuing the practice. they usually don't coincide with the look back period and they can screw up flow of documentation when done by agency or unfamiliar nurses on the floor. does anyone out there know if we're obligated in the state of PA. can we d/c this practice all together if we chose to do so. Any replies appreciated.
