why are you doing an obra, just do the dicharge tracking sheet and code it dicharge prior to completing initial
assessment.Upon return start over with your 5-day assessment, if she continues to have this trend,then do your
next 5-day assessment as your initial and care plan if she's still in your facility,if not the cycle will continue to
repeat itself until you can do an initial assessment.

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
That's what I would do!
