Every time they re-admit you put that date in section A4a
and that should take care of any problems with original admit date and the 14
day time frame.

This creates another question.......since, per the RAI, you use the
original admit date in AB1 (date of entry) on all these
multiple discharge 08's...what happens when the admit date is more than
14 days from the discharge date? Can you still use the 08? Do you still use
the original admit date?
There is no limit to the number of Discharge Tracking
Forms you can file with the code 8, Discharged Prior to Completing Initial
Assessment. See page 2-24 of the RAI User's
Manual.

I have a medicare A resident who was
admitted, then discharged after only a few days. I did a 5day PPS
mds for payment, then did a "discharge prior to" for OBRA. She
returned and we started over with another 5day, then back she went
to the hospital! So my question is, how many 08 - discharge
prior to completing initial assessments can I do? We haven't done an
admission mds yet. Should I do another 08 and 5day PPS only mds and
try again when she returns?
Thanks,
Nancy
