2020-07-20 06:42:30 PM reneewhite it also helps when a doctor or family memeber ask about a residents social ,cognitive behaviors
2020-07-20 06:42:46 PM gwenbess Steph we need your full name to add to the list.
2020-07-20 06:42:51 PM conniecrisp gwenbess, it does!
2020-07-20 06:43:05 PM stephberry98 Not a problem it is Stephanie Berry
2020-07-20 06:43:08 PM gwenbess Yes Renee
2020-07-20 06:43:24 PM sandishell19 I go to MDS and our socia services department for extra insight when I am not sure what else to do with a resident
2020-07-20 06:44:06 PM flossie The MDS also helps our residents to open up. A lot of times a simple question will trigger a memory or a desire...
2020-07-20 06:44:20 PM gwenbess We have to realize that some of the residents have lived in our facilities for many years. They are also a good resource for what they like to do as far as activities.
2020-07-20 06:44:31 PM stephberry98 I have found that social services can be a big help if you need to get more insight to something
2020-07-20 06:44:34 PM reneewhite thanks gwen
2020-07-20 06:44:51 PM flossie gwenbess True
2020-07-20 06:44:56 PM aherrera left the chat room
2020-07-20 06:45:14 PM conniecrisp You are right, flossie. it can start a convo with a withdrawn resident.
2020-07-20 06:45:34 PM flossie Yes
2020-07-20 06:45:51 PM michelled yeah they will open up if it is something you want to know about them
2020-07-20 06:46:02 PM flossie Sometimes they will tell you they don't like to read but they will go in to how much they love a certain movie or something like that..
2020-07-20 06:46:10 PM flossie it is a great way to help them open up
2020-07-20 06:46:10 PM gwenbess The F section has helped me to determine what to incorporate in an upcoming activity as well.
2020-07-20 06:47:29 PM gwenbess How many of your residents would rather participate in small groups.
2020-07-20 06:47:33 PM sandishell19 The F section seems like a quick over view of the activities assesment
2020-07-20 06:47:38 PM conniecrisp Covid has greatly limited what we can do. It has become an exercise in extreme creativity. Rarely have so few been tasked with doing so much for so many.
2020-07-20 06:47:54 PM stephberry98 I agree flossie it can also help so when you meet a new resident who has a shared interest with someone else it might allow them to bond as well and meet more people
2020-07-20 06:48:05 PM conniecrisp Are any of your facilities allowing visitors?
2020-07-20 06:48:19 PM flossie stephberry98 Right!
2020-07-20 06:48:24 PM gwenbess We opened up a few weeks back.
2020-07-20 06:48:52 PM stephberry98 We are only doing outside visits right now and residents are still restricted to their rooms/doorways
2020-07-20 06:48:55 PM gwenbess with restricitons
2020-07-20 06:49:01 PM michelled Not yet but in the works. we will have to take visitors by appoinment and only 15 min at a time and stay 6 feet apart and only allow one visitor a day
2020-07-20 06:49:02 PM reneewhite still no visters
2020-07-20 06:49:32 PM sandishell19 I really enjoy the one on one time that I have had with the residents. I have had the time to get to know them better. But I really miss group activities and so do they
2020-07-20 06:49:33 PM reneewhite yes were also doing outside visits
2020-07-20 06:50:06 PM conniecrisp We are currently doing "window visits". They are on the phone with their family. The family member is on the otherside of the glass. It has helped with morale
2020-07-20 06:50:59 PM sandishell19 We are, as of today, COVID-19 free in our facility
2020-07-20 06:51:26 PM gwenbess there have been days that ive walked away with them helping me more than i could ever hellp them. Its a privilege to get to know them and allow them to share thier past.
2020-07-20 06:51:45 PM stephberry98 The big question I get from my residents alot is why they can't leave their rooms when they don't leave the building only staff does and I have not found a good answer yet
2020-07-20 06:51:46 PM sandishell19 IF it stays this way maybe we can start opening up some of the programs again.
2020-07-20 06:51:47 PM michelled isn't that the truth
2020-07-20 06:52:21 PM conniecrisp We have remained covid free but it is a challenge
2020-07-20 06:52:35 PM erittenhouse1683 enter the chat room
2020-07-20 06:52:41 PM gwenbess I have to remind mine daily why we can onlly have two to a table and sit six feet apart.
2020-07-20 06:53:22 PM gwenbess looks like we have about 5 minutes left, any closing remarks.
2020-07-20 06:53:30 PM sherryllincoln enter the chat room
2020-07-20 06:53:37 PM michelled i hope we did this right
2020-07-20 06:53:39 PM stephberry98 we have been Covid free this whole time thankfully but it is still hard on the residents
2020-07-20 06:53:52 PM conniecrisp Anyone else deal with community negativity?
2020-07-20 06:54:09 PM sandishell19 YES!

2020-07-20 06:55:53 PM conniecrisp We work so hard to keep our residents safe but there is little understanding in our community. Our families are grateful (usually) but I have negative calls and feedback at large

2020-07-20 07:05:13 PM erittenhouse1683 Section F has to do with Preferences

2020-07-20 07:08:03 PM reneewhite rehab,nursing senior living center
2020-07-20 07:08:06 PM michr Do you feel the active diagnosis section would be helpful in planning?
2020-07-20 07:08:10 PM erittenhouse1683 So i've been doing some googling about it- says there is to look back periods- 1 is 60 days for the Diagnosis Identification
2020-07-20 07:08:10 PM gailgilberto NO
2020-07-20 07:08:13 PM smagana I use PCC at my work place
2020-07-20 07:08:26 PM erittenhouse1683 and 7 days for Diagnosis Status
2020-07-20 07:08:30 PM gailgilberto What is PCC
2020-07-20 07:08:35 PM erittenhouse1683 I use PCC as well
2020-07-20 07:08:38 PM flossie michr I personally feel like it's more beneficial for nursing. What about the rest of you?
2020-07-20 07:08:57 PM flossie gailgilberto point click care. Its a website where we do all of our charting... nurses included
2020-07-20 07:09:03 PM sherryllincoln I do if you get to see it b4 you plan for a new resident
2020-07-20 07:09:20 PM smagana PCC is a medical software used by care facilities that has the MDS 3.0 built into it
2020-07-20 07:09:21 PM erittenhouse1683 From what I'm seeing I kind of agree, though some Diagnosis' could affect how a person may participate or their ability to
2020-07-20 07:09:22 PM reneewhite i have experience with section f

2020-07-20 07:09:55 PM flossie erittenhouse1683 True
2020-07-20 07:09:59 PM gailgilberto WE need more communicaton

2020-07-20 07:13:14 PM smagana flossie I was a little worried that I was behind because people were posting for this forum assignment as early as the 9th
2020-07-20 07:13:26 PM flossie Oh goodness!
2020-07-20 07:13:41 PM flossie I'm trying to stay motivated

2020-07-20 07:14:03 PM smagana flossie I feel that I am doing fine. I am finishing one paper for week 2 and I am done tell tomorrow. Then it all starts again
2020-07-20 07:14:06 PM gailgilberto Do all uyou work full time?
2020-07-20 07:14:09 PM erittenhouse1683 That was supposed to be a link to the Active Diagnosis in the MDS
2020-07-20 07:14:13 PM flossie Sounds good.
2020-07-20 07:14:29 PM flossie ACTIVE DIAGNOSESDiagnoses that have adirect relationship to theresident’s functional status,cognitive status, mood orbehavior, medicaltreatments, nursingmonitoring, or risk of deathduring the 7-day look-backperiod.
2020-07-20 07:14:44 PM flossie FUNCTIONALLIMITATIONSLoss of range of motion,contractures, muscleweakness, fatigue,decreased ability toperform ADLs, paresis, orparalysis
2020-07-20 07:14:45 PM sherryllincoln I did, my facility has been closed
2020-07-20 07:14:45 PM smagana I currently work full time. However I am on quarantine tell tomorrow because I was potentially exposed to covid-19
2020-07-20 07:15:22 PM gailgilberto Working and keeping up on assignments is hard
2020-07-20 07:15:43 PM flossie gailgilberto yes it is. At least this isn't as much work as MEPAP
2020-07-20 07:16:01 PM flossie Anyone else have any other input on the active diagnosis
2020-07-20 07:16:27 PM flossie It does seem like it can help us with planning activities since it helps us understand a residents functional status
2020-07-20 07:16:29 PM sherryllincoln I think it's useful if you have access to it
2020-07-20 07:16:41 PM erittenhouse1683 At the top of it, it pretty much lists a bunch of Diagnosis' to check off that the resident has
2020-07-20 07:16:58 PM flossie Right. In which you must use codes
2020-07-20 07:17:30 PM clarissam left the chat room
2020-07-20 07:17:54 PM flossie Document active diagnoses on the MDS as follows:— Diagnoses are listed by major disease category: Cancer; Heart/Circulation;Gastrointestinal; Genitourinary; Infections; Metabolic; Musculoskeletal;Neurological; Nutritional; Psychiatric/Mood Disorder; Pulmonary; and Vision.
2020-07-20 07:18:16 PM reneewhite so when a resident is admitted to a facility an active diagnos has to start which is the 7 day look back period
2020-07-20 07:18:22 PM smagana flossie I believe that the impact of knowing active diagnosis is vital to the activities department. We are responsible for creating activity programs that cater to the physical, cognitive, and emotional abilities of the people we provide the services too.
2020-07-20 07:18:44 PM flossie True! Very good point!
2020-07-20 07:19:10 PM erittenhouse1683 Active Diagnoses are a diagnosis that has a direct relationship to the residen't functional, cognitive, or mood.........
2020-07-20 07:19:18 PM reneewhite smagana im so sorry ,i wish u luck
2020-07-20 07:19:23 PM gailgilberto Knowing that Diagnosis is good, but I feel I can learn so much more just talking to the resident
2020-07-20 07:19:48 PM sherryllincoln At my place the participants wear color coded lanyards and nametags with symbols so the direct care staff can tell what their status is
2020-07-20 07:19:56 PM erittenhouse1683 Agreed but it can come in handy when writing the care plan
2020-07-20 07:20:05 PM smagana Knowing that some people are working at dementia units vs some people working at skilled nursing facilities gives us a good indication that the activities planned in these two types of facilities will be very different on execution
2020-07-20 07:20:06 PM flossie gailgilberto Our Relationships with the Resident's are so important!
2020-07-20 07:20:18 PM flossie sherryllincoln So cool!
2020-07-20 07:20:46 PM erittenhouse1683 Status as in Cognitive ability?
2020-07-20 07:21:16 PM sherryllincoln Everything, we have a symbol for everything lol
2020-07-20 07:21:23 PM erittenhouse1683 Cool cool

2020-07-20 07:21:53 PM gailgilberto Do your residents know what the signs mean
2020-07-20 07:21:58 PM flossie I have often thought it would be a cool idea to color code near a residents name on the door for their dietary needs...
2020-07-20 07:22:10 PM flossie You know so it would be easier to pass snacks ... lol
2020-07-20 07:22:21 PM smagana reneewhite Thank you renee. I am going back to work tomorrow. It is only a financial burden at best but I have done all the paperwork to get compensated. I will be fine. The hardest part is knowing that I have a build up of work to do.
2020-07-20 07:22:42 PM kwalton that would good doing colors.
2020-07-20 07:22:52 PM erittenhouse1683 That's actually a pretty good idea
2020-07-20 07:22:55 PM gailgilberto I guess it is truly different in AL
2020-07-20 07:23:13 PM smagana At my work we have color coded stickers on the door tags for snacks. It does help tremendously
2020-07-20 07:23:19 PM sherryllincoln Some do, if someone comes in shaky on a day the nurse will make them wear a red laynard, for hands on when up. They will get upset too, and not want to be a "red"
2020-07-20 07:23:35 PM flossie smagana Dang so i'm not that smart! LOL Someone thought of it first! HAHA
2020-07-20 07:23:55 PM gailgilberto Sherry - what type of facility do you work in?
2020-07-20 07:24:04 PM smagana red is a color that has been associated as a negative color or settings from health care to kindergarten!
2020-07-20 07:24:13 PM smagana of course the residents dont want to be red!

2020-07-20 07:25:13 PM smagana flossie Don't say that about yourself (F) you have a great idea and should share it at your work
2020-07-20 07:25:15 PM gailgilberto We do not have any cases and hope to keep it that way

2020-07-20 07:26:09 PM sherryllincoln It is so fun!! Happy places if you have good staff
2020-07-20 07:26:15 PM kwalton I never stop working
2020-07-20 07:26:19 PM flossie Am I the only one who never really paid attention to all of the sections?
2020-07-20 07:26:48 PM erittenhouse1683 No, I had no clue what section B was till I started the MEPAP
2020-07-20 07:26:53 PM gailgilberto Great residents
2020-07-20 07:27:12 PM sherryllincoln I read them, but have never used any of it.
2020-07-20 07:27:13 PM smagana flossie I also know that the active diagnosis protion can trigger interventions for all departments depending on the diagnosis.
2020-07-20 07:27:21 PM erittenhouse1683 And I still don't know what the rest of them are
2020-07-20 07:27:42 PM flossie I was familiar with section B, C and D because I worked as a social worker assistant in the beginning
2020-07-20 07:27:52 PM kwalton it could be confusing at time

2020-07-20 07:28:24 PM flossie If anyone would like to look over the MDS
2020-07-20 07:28:27 PM erittenhouse1683 Does this section have to be filled out Quarterly?
2020-07-20 07:28:30 PM smagana flossie For instance if a person has the symptom of dementia related to Alzheimers, the activities department will create a careplan that is personalized to help reduce behaviors in the individual by catering their activities to meet their current ability and interests
2020-07-20 07:28:33 PM flossie I used this link at work to print section f
2020-07-20 07:28:52 PM smagana flossie Activities careplanning is vital for behavioral management
2020-07-20 07:28:53 PM flossie smagana Good! :)

2020-07-20 07:30:19 PM michr I'm learning so much here tonight. Thank you everyone.
2020-07-20 07:30:26 PM smagana Coding is used to help fill out the MDS
2020-07-20 07:30:44 PM flossie michr Yay! :)
2020-07-20 07:30:44 PM gailgilberto Is that coding done by the MD or nurse
2020-07-20 07:30:54 PM flossie All different departments
2020-07-20 07:30:55 PM erittenhouse1683 Looks like it is- the codes are listed with the diagnosis on the form
2020-07-20 07:31:12 PM flossie I work at a skilled nursing facility as the AD and I am responsible for section F
2020-07-20 07:31:28 PM flossie Social services does some sections... and so on and so forth
2020-07-20 07:31:29 PM smagana MDS is set of questions that need to be asked and answered by all departments so that their is accurate descritption of the individual receiveing care.

2020-07-20 07:32:35 PM flossie Nice!
2020-07-20 07:32:53 PM flossie So the active diagnosis is actually section I
2020-07-20 07:33:00 PM gailgilberto I feel like in AL I must have it pretty easy
2020-07-20 07:33:20 PM reneewhite thanks i was gonna ask what secton
2020-07-20 07:33:23 PM flossie gailgilberto Yeah?
2020-07-20 07:33:31 PM flossie reneewhite You're welcome :)
2020-07-20 07:35:10 PM flossie So in section A It says the provider is only nursing home or swing bed... As stated before, it looks like these are the only facilities that use the MDS
2020-07-20 07:35:11 PM michr So it seems like most of you use section F on a daily basis?
2020-07-20 07:35:33 PM flossie So some of you may not have to use it but it is good information to know incase you get a job at a SNF or swing bed...
2020-07-20 07:35:52 PM smagana left the chat room
2020-07-20 07:35:59 PM flossie michr for admissions, quarterly reviews... that type of thing.
