RE: missing MDS report

[Carol O'Brien]

Our experience was with people who had been discharged.  Check the day of 
discharge against the ARD of the prior assessment. We had a coordinator who 
was setting the ARD after discharge and thus the system siad there should be 
another assessment.  Also, we had some that for some reason or another had 
been split into two separate residents that we had to merge back together. 
We started out with 198 and now are totally cleared but it took several 
months of work and phone calls.  The MDS help desk can give you suggestions. 
Feel free to E-mail us privately if you have any other questions.

The state surveyer who comes in to do the quarterly visits asked me to pull 
up the missing MDS report, and that since we have a large facility (180 
beds) there should be no more than 12 names on it.  Well, there are 25 on 
it.  Dating back to 2001.  She wants them cleared off, but HOW?  The risk 
manager and I don't know how.  We can't figure out why most of the people 
are on it because our records show the MDSs were submitted/accepted.  Can 
anyone help me?
