RE: Raps

[Debbie Davis]

I look at potentials also - many times I will c/p for skin issues, vision, even cognitive loss on a patient with a HISTORY of confusion that was not in the correct window in the mds (say, acute confusion in hospital that resolved before admission - so we can keep watch for at least 30 days) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Mary Wright Sent: Friday, April 30, 2004 7:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Raps Lisa,   I once had a surveyor to say "why" in the rap summary and not "what" since the mds tells the what. So I look at every trigger and try to identify why. I sometimes c/p areas that do not trigger that I feel are potentials, such as pressure ulcers and falls. Hope this will be helpful.  Mary ----- Original Message ----- From: Lisa Pippin To: AANAC ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Sent: Friday, April 30, 2004 1:07 PM Subject: Raps I am learning how to work the Raps and looking for some guidance. I would like any cheat sheets or worksheets anybody may have? And I am trying to figure the best way to set my ARD date. We have been using our 14 day as the initial assessment that means it has to be complete on the 14 day. Can I set the ARD for the 13 day so I have time to work the raps on the 14 day so I won't be late? Any pointers would help.
