Re: completing quarterly assessment

[Holly Sox, RN, RAC-C]

Not necessarily.  I set my OBRA ARDs on Monday each week.  The other disciplines enter their information on Tuesday. I may not complete the assessments until Thursday or Friday (or even into the next week, if things are crazy)   As long as your R2b date is in compliance, it's not a problem. And I would not complete the assessment if the res. was discharged. The portion of the assessment that had been completed should be maintained, along with a note that the resident was discharged prior to completing the assessment.   Holly   Holly F.

Thanks Unless I missed something, it should already be done, right?
