An initial Admission Assessment is not required when a resident is discharged before the end of day 14.  The only requirement is the discharge tracking form with the code 8, discharged prior to completing initial assessment.

HELP!!!
 

If there is a Commercially insured resident (not Medicare) that stays less than 14 days, do I need to do an admission MDS or can I just do a discharge prior to completion??
Thanks in advance!
