Record review of the Facility's Care plan policy undated revealed, PURPOSE: The facility IDT team utilizes the CMS requirements of RAI as policy for reviewing and revising care plans. Responsible Disciplines IDT members, resident, Resident Representative STEPS - Care Plan Completion: Care plan completion based on the CAA process is required for OBRA-required comprehensive assessments. It is not required for non- comprehensive assessments (Quarterly, SCQA), PPS assessments, Discharge assessments, or Tracking records. However, the resident's care plan must be reviewed after each assessment, as required by S483.20, except discharge assessments, and revised based on changing goals, preferences and needs of the resident and in response to current interventions. After completing the MDS and CAA portions of the comprehensive assessment, the next step is to evaluate the information gained through both assessment processes in order to identify problems, causes, contributing factors, and risk factors related to the problems. Subsequently, the IDT evaluates the information gained to develop a care plan that addresses those findings in the context of the resident's goals, preferences, strengths, problems, and needs (additional information is described in detail in Chapter 4 of the CMS RAI manual). The care plan completion date (item V0200C2) must be either later than or the same date as the CAA completion date (item V0200B2), but no later than 7 calendar days after the CAA completion date. The MDS completion date (item Z0500B) must be earlier than or the same date as the care plan completion date. In no event should either date be later than the established time frames as described in Section 2.6 in the CM RAI Manual. For Annual assessments, SCSAs, and SCPAs, the process is basically the same as that described with an admission assessment. NOTE, In these cases, however, the care plan will already be in place. Review of the CAA(s) when the MDS is complete for these assessment types should raise questions about the need to modify or continue services and result in either the continuance or revision of the existing care plan. A new care plan does not need to be developed after each Annual assessment, SCSA, or SCPA type of assessment. Residents' preferences and goals may change throughout their stay, therefore the IDT should have ongoing discussions with the resident and resident representative, and staff member, so that changes can be reflected in the comprehensive care plan.
