Oh, it was said, all right. But the responses were
immediate, and there was still no consistency in what M Pratt and E Gay were
saying, so they said it would be considered further.
Obviously, they decided against including that
language in the updates that were released.

Subject: Sec M...please clarify
Can someone please help me, my brain is mush at
this time of the day. At the conference in AC one of the speakers, Mary Pratt,
spoke about the updates on the MDS. One of the things she mentioned was to not
code ulcers on the feet in section M 6 anymore as we always had been. In
reviewing the updates to the RAI manual that just came out, I can't find any
reference to this change. Am I going crazy... did anyone else hear her say
this? Has there been a change or not? I hope someone can clarify this as I
have to inservice the staff on the changes on Thursday and want to be as up to
date as possible. Thanks.
