Nursing Medicare Documentation

Event Phone: (954) MDS-3-ADL

What You’ll Learn

Is nursing your documentation enough to justify skilled care and Medicare reimbursement? Are your nursing staff members aware of the required assessments for each medical condition that may lead to skilled care? Lastly, do they know how often to assess and document? With PDPM, there has been a focus on nursing care based on primary and secondary diagnoses. We need an interdisciplinary approach that relies on good assessments and documentation from the nurse.

Attendees of this seminar will learn how to:

1) Plan appropriate assessments for skilled care
2) Understand what items need to be assessed and documented to support various diagnoses
3) Identify regulations surrounding skilled care and reimbursement
4) Anticipate how the documentation justifies care and contributes to accurate PDPM scores
