RE: completing quarterly assessment

Title: Message

What was the R2b date on the previous assessment.  I usually set my ARD 10-14 days ahead of when it's due to give us time to complete it as you have up to 14 days to complete an MDS.  So depending on when your last assessment was done, you might not have to do one.     Pat Whitcomb, RN MDS Coordinator Madonna Towers 507-288-3911, Ext. 3050 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Debbie Nichols Sent: Friday, April 02, 2004 4:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: completing quarterly assessment If the ARD is 3/23 then I am just wondering why by 3/25 it should be done.  That's only 2 days after the ARD. We are allowed more time than that to complete a quarterly assessment.  I am just curious, maybe I am missing something? Thanks, Debbie ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 02, 2004 6:02 AM Subject: Re: completing quarterly assessment In our facility we run a tickler list from the computer and move up the ARD 1 week for the actual due date to be sure we are in compliance.  With an ARD of 3/23 it depends when the last assessment was done if it was done less than 92 days ago from 3/25 than no it does not have to be done.  I do agree that with an ARD of 3/23 by 3/25 it should have been done, but each facility and MDS Coordinator does things in their own way.
