In this situation you can do a modification to change the ARD since the assessment was completed using 3/23 however the date was data entered incorrectly.
Ron -----Original Message----- From: Stacee Kunse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 16, 2004 11:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MDS correction... Have an ARD that was set for 3/24. We moved the ARD to 3/23 and completed the assessment with that data. One problem. The nurse responsible for that assessment did not change the reference date, only the information. So, we have erroneous data that effects the RUG score. This assessment was submitted to state long ago. It was a 14 day Admission assessment. We just discovered the problem with an internal audit. I would prefer to correct the date of the assessment to get the RHC rug, rather than just change the data which would drop us to a RMC, but I do not see an option to change the ARD in the correction manual. I know that it is inappropriate to set the ARD after the 'window' for the assessment, but it was already set, just not carried over into the computer. Any ideas??? Please???
