Correct the original assessment, 2. Submit the corrected assessment, and 3. Perform a Significant Correction of a Prior assessment or Significant Change in Status assessment if the error was major, and update the care plan as necessary. The Correction Policy Manual states on page 1-4..... # 3 makes no sense in this scenario. The record hadn't been submitted. Fix the original and submit it. Why submit a Correction/Sig Change assessment for an assessment which was correctly submitted???
