2020-10-17 10:53:28 AM melissabarrett yes
2020-10-17 10:53:44 AM judithdevin section F is ours and sometimes they make me do section V
2020-10-17 10:53:48 AM kellyryan I apologize again this is all completely new to me
2020-10-17 10:54:04 AM judithdevin no worries kelly !!
2020-10-17 10:54:12 AM anavillicana What is section F?
2020-10-17 10:54:13 AM melissabarrett its new to me too thats why we are here
2020-10-17 10:54:45 AM tinacognato many of the terminologies confuse me as if they overlap sometimes. for example, i am confused about what RAI >>Resident assesment instrument. is that not what an MDS is?
2020-10-17 10:54:46 AM anavillicana This is new to me too. I don't work in the medical field, so i'm like so lost.
2020-10-17 10:54:46 AM judithdevin i may be activily working as the activities director but i dodn't get any real training i learn as i go
2020-10-17 10:55:27 AM kellyryan Section F preferances for customary routine and activity ?
2020-10-17 10:55:49 AM dianes left the chat room
2020-10-17 10:55:56 AM tinacognato I was hoping while on chat i could use another window for reference but i it kicked me out.
2020-10-17 10:56:04 AM judithdevin yes its the one that ask " how important is it to you that you do _______
2020-10-17 10:56:11 AM tinacognato yes that is F Kelly but im not sure what V is
2020-10-17 10:56:24 AM judithdevin i ahve been trying to look things up but not user friendly
2020-10-17 10:56:28 AM melissabarrett and then can that bring up a caa
2020-10-17 10:56:29 AM tinacognato OHH.. yes. thank you Judith
2020-10-17 10:56:38 AM judithdevin V is the CAA setion
2020-10-17 10:56:47 AM melissabarrett ok
2020-10-17 10:57:00 AM tinacognato Caa is due 14 days
2020-10-17 10:57:06 AM judithdevin like i had said i never feel qualifies to do this but on ocassion they make me
2020-10-17 10:57:06 AM melissabarrett ok
2020-10-17 10:57:18 AM anavillicana I don't think I see that section in the link that was provided.
2020-10-17 10:57:54 AM melissabarrett how about social services do they over lap with activities
2020-10-17 10:57:56 AM tinacognato CAA,this is to help focus on key factors. after the CAA is the CAT
2020-10-17 10:58:09 AM judithdevin i htought it was mentioned in the CE chat the other night like
2020-10-17 10:58:37 AM kellyryan I feel like most places lack training and its all learn as you go
2020-10-17 10:58:42 AM judithdevin i dont think it is our resposabilty to do them my MDS lady now does any of mine that section F triggers
2020-10-17 10:59:00 AM tinacognato all departments in this setting should over lap but the responsibilties (documention) should be done seperately..but shared i would believe
2020-10-17 10:59:10 AM melissabarrett yes i think its learn has you go too
2020-10-17 10:59:11 AM judithdevin true that kelly show us the bare minimum \
2020-10-17 10:59:17 AM kellyryan MDS is 14 day though corrrect?
2020-10-17 10:59:58 AM judithdevin i think so kelly
2020-10-17 11:00:25 AM judithdevin i know the inital assesment is due in 24hrs
2020-10-17 11:00:50 AM kellyryan from the chat the other night in my notes it says MDS should always be signed by AD
2020-10-17 11:01:11 AM melissabarrett don you guys have annuals, sig changes
2020-10-17 11:01:19 AM judithdevin yes i sgn section F
2020-10-17 11:01:23 AM kellyryan thinking we can do it as long as the AD signs?
2020-10-17 11:01:35 AM judithdevin yes all the time sig changes
2020-10-17 11:01:56 AM tinacognato Ive been in the situation (more than once in my two years) to have to take lead when we were without a director and people from many departments did bits and pieces of MDS's and im sure most were learning as they were doing it..and those were they people showing me. Im glad to be here learning and becoming familiar with things
2020-10-17 11:02:18 AM judithdevin agree tina
2020-10-17 11:02:43 AM melissabarrett yes it we make us more indentpented
2020-10-17 11:02:52 AM kellyryan I agree to but I also think it will be difficult to do eveything "by the books" now that we have taken the course
2020-10-17 11:02:57 AM judithdevin i myself on ocassion have done the socia workers section when we didnt have one
2020-10-17 11:03:29 AM melissabarrett they do life stories and i like that
2020-10-17 11:03:32 AM judithdevin your right many people do a certain section of the mds and the the person that does MDS put it all together
2020-10-17 11:05:37 AM judithdevin i think as society uses more and more computer programs that do alot for you that its harder to undertsand all of this because we dont have to create a care plan using our own words as much as before the computer for me i learn much better hands on doing it verses reading about it
2020-10-17 11:05:47 AM kellyryan so somehow does the diagnostic intervention grid must tie into all this?
2020-10-17 11:06:21 AM melissabarrett i have nooo idea what that is!!
2020-10-17 11:06:34 AM tinacognato im really going to have to look into that more. Super confused trying to process all of what i saw there
2020-10-17 11:06:35 AM kellyryan haha same! Ive been looking all week
2020-10-17 11:07:04 AM tinacognato the word intervention itself should be our clue?
2020-10-17 11:08:00 AM anavillicana how does MDS assessment pretain to activities coordinator/directors? Like I get that we should know/learn about resident's diagnoses but I don't get the whole coding and rationale
2020-10-17 11:08:41 AM judithdevin getting more confused every minute
2020-10-17 11:08:57 AM judithdevin i dont get the coding since i dont think we do that
2020-10-17 11:09:07 AM kellyryan is the coding just to see the residents functioning ststus
2020-10-17 11:09:20 AM melissabarrett maybe knowing what the diagnoses is will helpn make the activiey easier for them or how we do the 1 on 1's with them
2020-10-17 11:09:24 AM judithdevin mds gives information for our careplan that i get
2020-10-17 11:10:05 AM judithdevin code 1 stroke
2020-10-17 11:10:06 AM anavillicana The coding is really just for the doctors and nurses, right?
2020-10-17 11:10:10 AM tinacognato im going on the thought process that this is a tool that takes all the data..intial, progress and results and lays it out in a format .....that confuses us all apperantly
2020-10-17 11:10:52 AM judithdevin that tells me could have weakness loss of speak etc so that way i can careplan for that resident
2020-10-17 11:10:57 AM melissabarrett if the resident doesn't want to do anything want's do things on thier own does that trigger anything?
2020-10-17 11:12:05 AM judithdevin no it shouldn't for us if this is teir want to do things themsleves and not in group i worry and it triggers if they dont do anything
2020-10-17 11:12:22 AM kellyryan and that why I think its important for the resident to have a say in goals beacsue they should be motivated
2020-10-17 11:12:23 AM melissabarrett ok
2020-10-17 11:12:34 AM melissabarrett yes
2020-10-17 11:12:54 AM judithdevin i lik ewhat someone said the other night
2020-10-17 11:13:06 AM judithdevin residents voice is residents choice
2020-10-17 11:13:11 AM tinacognato resideints voice.... the Most important part of our assesmen
2020-10-17 11:13:18 AM judithdevin omh i am sorry i type awful
2020-10-17 11:13:23 AM tinacognato ughh..typing
2020-10-17 11:13:32 AM tinacognato lol.
2020-10-17 11:13:53 AM judithdevin it all boils down to residents rights it is there right to do what they want not what we want them to do
2020-10-17 11:13:56 AM melissabarrett yes cause when they come from home they don't always do all the things that we have plan.
2020-10-17 11:14:26 AM judithdevin i find it hard to get the skilled patients involved
2020-10-17 11:14:37 AM anavillicana off topic question: do the speciality live chats go over the weeks agenda?
2020-10-17 11:15:12 AM kellyryan I'm not sure I attended my first one thursday on documentation
2020-10-17 11:15:15 AM judithdevin they prefer independant activities verses group i get it they want to go home while the LTC residents it is their home
2020-10-17 11:15:18 AM anavillicana i haven't been able to attend any yet. so maybe that is why i'm like 8-|
2020-10-17 11:15:26 AM melissabarrett yes and we are told to get them involed cause they are bored but they don't what to do anything
2020-10-17 11:16:13 AM judithdevin this weeks was on documentation maybe goes along with what we are learing that week i have onoy been able to attend that one
2020-10-17 11:16:22 AM melissabarrett no i did the one one documentation and that didn't help me much
2020-10-17 11:16:51 AM anavillicana I feel like I only see the same resident's doing planned activites everytime theres' something planned for them
2020-10-17 11:16:52 AM kellyryan I took a little peak at next weeks work and it seems better then figuring out the grid lol
2020-10-17 11:17:12 AM judithdevin lol
2020-10-17 11:17:23 AM tinacognato skilleed patients are put off by the atmosphere... they do not want to see the person next to them leaning, drooling, having difficulties of any sort. they feel they dont belong. they are saddened by this and the question thier own mortality
2020-10-17 11:17:40 AM judithdevin true fact tina
2020-10-17 11:18:20 AM judithdevin i watched this as a cna and in activities
2020-10-17 11:18:21 AM tinacognato regardless of limitations and abilities its important to get similar sets of people together...small er the group the better most t imes
2020-10-17 11:18:42 AM judithdevin agree
2020-10-17 11:18:47 AM melissabarrett yes
2020-10-17 11:18:55 AM kellyryan correct. Its the same with the students I work with at a high school but they are all in that class for a reason
2020-10-17 11:19:08 AM judithdevin all we can do right now is small group activities anyway or 1:1
2020-10-17 11:19:32 AM melissabarrett yes the residents hate that
2020-10-17 11:19:36 AM tinacognato if thier is a silver lining in this crazy time. i am happy to lessen a rooms size. but it is hard to divide the time equally and staffing is always an issue
2020-10-17 11:19:54 AM judithdevin problem being some people have a way hardre time accepting their current situation
2020-10-17 11:20:45 AM tinacognato im happy to have had 1:1 time more available. it really allowed me to offer more to EVERYONE. but the lack of social interaction between thier peers has been devastating
2020-10-17 11:21:25 AM judithdevin when you have to do a staff assement because the resident is unable do you find that they take the time or just keeep the information general this is one reason why i prefer to interview the family beofre staff
2020-10-17 11:21:33 AM anavillicana One thing I would like to see more where i work is, is having them people resident's use their phone so they can connect with their families.
2020-10-17 11:21:35 AM melissabarrett yes and right now we have so much different paper work to do its hard
2020-10-17 11:21:39 AM kellyryan Social interaction is so impotant and thats lacking everywhere now for everyone
2020-10-17 11:22:22 AM judithdevin we use tablets and have been , outside viisits , i have been ucky enough to have live music outside this summer but its getting cold
2020-10-17 11:22:32 AM melissabarrett yes and that why there is so many sig changes to do
2020-10-17 11:22:43 AM tinacognato some people never except thier "new norm". its important by the same standards to give them something they can do and look forward to
2020-10-17 11:22:43 AM judithdevin weight loss is huge
2020-10-17 11:22:48 AM anavillicana I see residents on zoom sometimes and its so great
2020-10-17 11:24:10 AM tinacognato SOoo....the MDS
2020-10-17 11:25:24 AM anavillicana What i learned from the MDS; is that there are two steps for the assessment
2020-10-17 11:26:01 AM kellyryan 60 day look back period and active or inactive
2020-10-17 11:26:02 AM judithdevin ladies i would like to thank all of you for joining me today this assinmnet had me so confused . i will watch the forum and do my nest to attend yours . the mds in a whole is confusing for sure i just know that 100 % sure section f is ours lol and as for how it all comes together not sure but it does lol i am sorry i probably was not very helful
2020-10-17 11:26:30 AM anavillicana identify the diagnoses within the first 60 days, and then determine if the diagnoses is active during the 7 days look-back.
2020-10-17 11:26:38 AM tinacognato evrything is helpful on some level...except that damn GRID!
2020-10-17 11:26:46 AM melissabarrett thank you for your help everyone

2020-10-18 08:37:52 AM shedenaalexander Im not sure what happens if we dont have 5 people attending
2020-10-18 08:38:23 AM annettep Me either,I keep asking and nobody is responding
2020-10-18 08:38:40 AM shedenaalexander I know me too
2020-10-18 08:39:15 AM annettep Maybe we should just do it in hopes you get some credit
2020-10-18 08:39:33 AM shedenaalexander If no one else shows up I will stiill join your open discussion this evening
2020-10-18 08:39:45 AM shedenaalexander I agree
2020-10-18 08:39:53 AM annettep Thank you
2020-10-18 08:40:25 AM shedenaalexander This is all new to me but Im all in
2020-10-18 08:41:34 AM annettep Yes, my first and somewhat current career is physical therapist assistant, many years documenting on MDS in G codes, did about 5 F codes the other day as an activity director
2020-10-18 08:42:27 AM annettep The general question on F codes are how important daily activiites are to them
2020-10-18 08:42:27 AM shedenaalexander Oh great so you are somewhat familiar with MDS
2020-10-18 08:42:55 AM shedenaalexander There are so many F codes
2020-10-18 08:43:52 AM annettep I got lucky, most of the residents were aware enough to answer pretty good, 1 had some trouble but I found a way to get desent answers
2020-10-18 08:45:34 AM annettep There is a question on how important it is to pick his clothes, it was but when asking the next question he stayed on clothes, I then asked him, does he like music for instance, he says yes, then I asked him how important it was to listen to it, he was then abel to asnswer
2020-10-18 08:47:08 AM annettep Do you have any questions?
2020-10-18 08:47:14 AM shedenaalexander here in MDS 3.0 Active Diagnosis it Identifies Diagnosis -diease conditions
2020-10-18 08:47:52 AM shedenaalexander And determines is it active or not
2020-10-18 08:48:27 AM shedenaalexander Oh I have lots of questions8-)
2020-10-18 08:48:52 AM annettep so, let us work todgether for answers!
2020-10-18 08:49:09 AM shedenaalexander Absolutely
2020-10-18 08:51:52 AM shedenaalexander F-Tag 758
2020-10-18 08:54:41 AM annettep freedom from unecesary drugs
2020-10-18 09:01:51 AM shedenaalexander Activity Department is the best Medecine for Mental Health I assume you dont need a presricption for that
2020-10-18 09:03:22 AM annettep I never heard of the prescription idea, I am going to so a big NO! The reports I have been writing on here have always shown a great need for activiites
2020-10-18 09:05:03 AM annettep Spending a long times with them creates a bond and gives us what normal looks like. We ususally can spot a problems bruing before anybody else
2020-10-18 09:05:41 AM shedenaalexander I agree Activities Department helps keep them free from some unnecessary drugs
2020-10-18 09:06:36 AM annettep My non normal aging report was on insomnia, We have a big intervention componet by keeping them busy during the day,
2020-10-18 09:06:48 AM shedenaalexander Yes we are more hands on and develope a different kind of relationship with the residents
2020-10-18 09:08:13 AM shedenaalexander Good deal my Normal aging report is on Depression

2020-10-18 04:03:52 PM kellyryan This is a career change for me I currently work in the special ed department at a high school
2020-10-18 04:04:16 PM annettep I am from Chicago suburb, Villa Park, I have been in health care for 33 years and working with MDS for several years but as a Physical therapist assistant

2020-10-18 04:05:22 PM paigea annette before we get started.. didnt u ask earlier about has anyone located the diagnostic intervention grid? bc im struggling on that as well and being able to write the assignment.. so i was wondering if anyone help u out with ur question
2020-10-18 04:06:05 PM annettep I have the grid here with me now. It talks about active diagnosis and inactive. After reading it I find both are important. Let us talk about how we can plan with both in mind
2020-10-18 04:06:23 PM paigea ok
2020-10-18 04:06:26 PM kellyryan I have also been struggling with the grid and the 4 other people I met with yesterday were also having a difficult time with it
2020-10-18 04:07:22 PM annettep Sorry, I did ask Celeste via email and she sent me a link. it was pretty much the MDS from PCC, hold on I have it on my phone
2020-10-18 04:08:21 PM lhalfacre I just typed diagnostic intervention grid in the search box and it came up.
2020-10-18 04:08:47 PM annettep The link she sent me is https://www2.pointclickcare.com/help/clinical/section_pdf
2020-10-18 04:09:26 PM paigea yeah thats the same link i got too.. but thats mainly the mds stuff right? or in the diagnostic grid the same thing?
2020-10-18 04:09:35 PM annettep I tried the search also, maybe in wrong spot
2020-10-18 04:10:24 PM lhalfacre I am sorry, I typed it in the internet search bar
2020-10-18 04:12:19 PM annettep So this link she sent me was on diagnotic and about catagories of dianosis being treated for; is that different from what opopped up the F is more directly about patients imprtance of activities
2020-10-18 04:13:05 PM paigea no i jjst looked at it more.. it is on the active diagnosis
2020-10-18 04:13:12 PM annettep More confusion, ya!
2020-10-18 04:14:03 PM annettep We just have to have confidence that we won't flunk because of one assignment, right!
2020-10-18 04:14:05 PM paigea yes thos forum assignmment and the written assignment #2 has been very confusing for me this week haha
2020-10-18 04:14:23 PM paigea and yes hopefully!!
2020-10-18 04:14:56 PM annettep Shalll we move forward then and talk about the MDS diagnosis grid?
2020-10-18 04:15:12 PM paigea yes
2020-10-18 04:15:18 PM lhalfacre To tell you the truth, it seems like everything I have done is confussing until you do it over and over.
2020-10-18 04:15:44 PM paigea i feel the same way
