RE: readmission time frames

[Ann Schoeny]

That is how I do it. I usually do "not anticipated" if they are going home, and then "return anticipated" if they are hospitalized. Also I usually wait to transmit so that I can change if I need to.   ann m schoeny crnac sem haven nursing and rehab 225 cleveland ave. milford, ohio 45150 (513) 248-1270 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2004 7:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: readmission time frames In a message dated 4/22/2004 7:09:23 AM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I appreciate the clarification on the Med A/OBRA assessments.  Quite good news.  But this brought up another question from my MDS nurses.  What is the time frame for doing return/readmission assessments rather than starting over with admission assessments?  Is it weeks, months?  Thanks Suzanne   My understanding is you don't ever do another admission assessment unless the resident was discharged "return not anticipated," and then returns later.
