If
the activity happened only once 8/8 is no longer appropriate. Like coding a 4,
it is an all or nothing code.

Subject: Re: section G coding???
For all 21 shifts in a 7 day period, there are only two areas that indicate "2/2" for walking. ALL OTHER shifts the entire week are "8/8" for activity did not occur. So this activity only occurred twice. How do I code this? "2/2" or "0/2" . And for those PA rnac's, there is one blank space! So we don't know what actually occurred then. Any thoughts?
Thanks! Nancy
I asked a similar question a couple of weeks ago and received many different responses. This does not seem like a situation that is covered by the instructions for coding. Rena perhaps you can shed some light as we are getting errors from our UMR team. They feel it should be 8/8 especially if the activity only occurred once. Clarification is appreciated. Thanks
