but my understanding is you can only do that if you discovered the error
within 7 days of locking it, so I don't think I can do it that way,
because it is over 7 days

Karen,
Since you have not yet transmitted the record, I would correct the
record before it is transmitted. The flow chart on page 5-10 of the
manual asks "record already accepted in Stete DB valid?" Your answer
would be "NO". so then the next question is "is the record valid" your
answer is yes. Then you correct the record in the facility and submit
the record."
I would enter a note detailing when you found the error and how you
corrected it, but would not submit an assessment that you know is in
error and then have to go through a big paper and electronic trail to
fix.

Subject: help with sig correction
Hi, I am not sure how to proceed with doing this correction.. so I need
some advice from you.
I just noted that the dietician entered the weight of the 14 day mds
at 298 when it should have been 198. In her notes, she does have 198
written. the care plan etc are accurate regarless of the wrong data
entry. I have not yet submitted this, but it is over the 7 day
period---so I am confused on what exactly I need to do?? This is what
I am thinking...
1. I need to submit the 14 day locked assmt with the wrong weight
2. I need to do a correction--- but is this a major error--since the
chart indicates 198 lbs???
3. if this is a major error, I correct the 14 day assmt , by doing a
modification, then I must do another MDS as a significant correction of
a prior assmt. do I use a new ard??? *--do I need to do raps again??
Please set me staight on this
Thanks
karen
