Ultra/ Very High RUGS Patient Profile

[Guest guest]

For those of you who have already started PPS: I am interested in knowing the

" profiles " of the patients who have been classified in the highest two RUGS

categories in terms of the diagnoses and average minutes provided at the end

of the first assessment reference date. I am also interested in knowing how

many percent of your total patient caseload to date have been placed under

these two categories.

Also, are there certain " guidelines " on the " types " of patients and diagnoses

that get classified on Ultra and Verry High categories? Any Red flags that we

should know of to avoid a focussed review? I

Thank you.
