according to the RAI, it is permissable to count orders written in ANY setting AFTER admisison, provided they are in the appropriate look back period. Since outside facility visits CAN be counted, orders in that setting are counted also.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Chris Pokorny Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2004 3:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Physician Orders Once a resident is in our facility as Part A, can we count orders that are written in an outpatient setting. In other words the resident went to the doctors' office and the doctor wrote an order for an IV procedure..that was done in the office. I thought "no", but having trouble researching it.
