Linda K. Sartore MHA, BSN, RN Director, Resident Care System Interactive Health Network Atlanta, GA [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Doyle, Renee Sent: Monday, April 19, 2004 2:48 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: MPAF I work in a 24 bed hospital-based SNF w/15-20 admissions/discharges per week. We are totally computerized and print the forms for signing/filing purposes only. We have not had the option of using the MPAF so far due to software issues. We recently had a software upgrade and now have the option available to do these on the computer. However, we can't print the MPAF form. From what I read on the form requirements, it doesn't appear it is allowed to print the MPAF answers on the MDS "long" form. We were told that the vendor our software company uses for the form printing (ELF) has not yet developed the form for the MPAF. Is anyone out there printing the MPAF from their computer software, or is everyone doing this by hand on paper forms? If anyone could give me some info on this, I would greatly appreciate it. I would love to use the MPAF, but I want to do it right. Thanks in advance for any assistance. /---------------------------------------------------------- The Case Mix Discussion Group is a free service of the American Association of Nurse Assessment Coordinators "Committed to the Assessment Professional" Be sure to visit the AANAC website.
