O.K. all you experts out there. I've gone totally brain dead this afternoon
and I need help. My Don wants to know how the percentile rank is figured on
a QI. Here' s the scoop: Cognitive patterns: # in numerator =2; # in
denominator =7; facility percent is 28.6, comparison group percent is 9.7
%. percentile rank is 92%( it was flagged, of course). Now, I need to know
how they arrived at the 92% number. I can get all the other numbers, but
can't figure that one out.
Now, another problem. I have a resident who had a cva yesterday, 4/4/04.
She is comatose and I am starting a change of condition MDS on her. I have
skipped the areas it said to skip if the resident was comatose and now I am
at section G, physical functioning. This area has a 7 day look back, but
she has been comatose only 48 hours, so I can't mark her as an 8 because it
hasn't been 7 days. Prior to that she was fairly independent in adl's,
usually needing only supervision. So, how do I code that? No one here has
any idea of how to proceed.
Thanks for all your help and support when ever I need it.
