RE: 15 months on the chart?

[donna lorenz]

Can they be copies of the originals or must they be the originals themselves?  I would think you would want to keep the MDSs for the first admission with the first chart.    Donna Lorenz, BAN, RNC, RAC-C MDS/Medicare Coordinator Bethesda Heritage Center Willmar, MN [EMAIL PROTECTED]   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 13, 2004 9:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: 15 months on the chart?   I don't know what state you are in, but I am in Florida in a CCRC with lots of repeat admissions. Last year we were cited for not pulling forward previous MDS that were from admissions in the previous 15 monthes even though the resident had been discharged in between.     Jerri Skinner, RN, C-RNAC Mayflower Health Center Winter Park, Florida   /---------------------------------------------------------- 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.
