[Orth, Ron A]

Title: Message

Hi Paul

 

Why have they set it up this way?  I would think there would be times when certain aspects of the MDS are unknown for a variety of reasons?

Canada does not have a dash, and we do not allow unknown unless the assessment is the initial assessment.

You can put the dash for no information.

Hi,

 

If you have a patient that is  palliative and you don't want to test their ROM to preserve their dignity, how would you code this on the assessment?
