Help!! Guam Needs SNF/Acute/Wound Care Forms/Documents

[Guest guest]

Hello/Hafa Adai,

This is my second attempt to request some assistance. I work out here in

the Western Pacific on the island of Guam. We are the only civilian

hospital on the island and pretty isolated. The new PT supervisor and I are

trying to streamline our paperwork in regard to the new PPS, but also to

revamp for quality sake all our forms, we are hoping to have the eval

function as our 700(preferably with some MDS boxs and/or wording) can any

share theirs, then we would need a weekly and a two week summary to

function as our 701. A flow sheet for MDS minutes, A " Nursing Rehab "

referral form, maybe a checkoff for the minutes the aides perform the

nursing rehab, a supervisory form for the nurses supervising the nursing

rehab, I suppose we could go to briggs and i realize the some of these

forms may be copyrighted, but we are trying not to re-invent the wheel and

don't have time or support to create the forms we would like, Please email

me directly @paix@... and let me know if you can help.

I sure this is something i should know but was it the BBA of 1997 that

revised SNF regulations, or have SNF regulations be revised where for SNF

patients reviewers are going to start denying payment for patients that

don't have 700s signed and completed.

Further, we are using 700s for ALL patients on SNF because the theory goes

that they may end up as Medicaid patients and therefore need to have

certification, then we are doing 701s after two weeks, then monthly, not at

the end of the month. Do other people do it this way?

Oh, and we are you outpatient rehab 700 and 701 forms because we have no

inpatients ones, does anyone have a copy of the inpatient 700s, my guess

and hope is that they are the same.

THANK YOU MUCH IN ADVANCE

or as they say here si y'usse maase.

Mike PT
