Guest guest Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Hi Pamela, You have to do a new evaluation and POC anytime a resident is admitted to the hospital or is out of the building for more than 24 hours unless on a leave of absence. The eval is still focused on the initial admit Dx, not the new one from the hospital. If you are ever unsure of whether a new eval/POC is required, find out if the MDS coordinator did a D/C MDS with anticipated return, if they did then you must do a new eval & POC. Hope this helps, ine From: PTManager [mailto:PTManager ] On Behalf Of Pam Harbert Sent: Monday, May 21, 2012 4:16 PM To: PTManager Subject: " readmossions " ... Group: I am at a SNF in Alabama. I have a question about a Resident who is on part A short term rehab s/p THA. She went out to the hospital and was admitted for bladder stuff on Saturday. She was readmitted to the SNF on Sunday. Question: Do we need to do a full eval even though what she went out for was not related to the THA and furthermore has had no change in function. Will a reeval suffice? Thank you for your assistance. Pamela J.
