Would anyone be able to help me? I have a med A resident who had a temporary leave of absence to home for 3 days and then returned to the facility and I'm not understanding if I continue with the PPS schedule or need to start over. According to the manual and information from the AANAC program manual it is sounding like a temporary leave of absence can only be for a day. She was admitted 4-3-04 to a medicare bed. She felt she could make it at home and went home 4-9 on bedhold and returned 4-12 because things did not go well. We did the 5 day assessment as an admission - 5 day. We did raps. I understand our internal bedhold policy is separate from what we do regarding the MDS's and discharge and retracking. However, I still have these questions: 1. Can we just continue on with her original assessment and do a 14 day MDS with the original admission date? 2. Do we need discharge and reentry tracking forms? 3. Do we need a new MD cert form?
