Our dietitian is only in the facility once a week so if the ARD is after she is done for the week, she will do as much as she can on the assessment and then I will fill in the rest i.e. Consumption<75% if it happens that way and any other changes that may have occurred from the time she did her part to the ARD.  I then co sign section K and the raps when I have had to review them after the ARD.  That is how we work around this problem where I am at.  At least she has done as much as she can with the MDS/RAPS/Careplan as she can and I finish them up and cosign.

 I have this problem with the dietician. I have spoken to her on more than one occasion . At times I will not have the MDS available in the computer until after the ard so she has to wait. I have tried educating but all she sees is getting as much done as possible when she is here.She is only here 3 days a week.

Are any of your dietary, activities or social services RAI teammates completing their MDS sections ON or BEFORE the ARD?  I find this to be a problem for part-time or consulting staff.
