Laura Ginett, JD, and Elizabeth Neidig, both of Hall, Prangle and Schoonveld
In this session using case studies, we will explore the common themes in litigation regarding care plans and the MDS. For care plans, that includes failure to create initial care plans, update care plans, communicate the contents of the plan to staff, and document the plan’s components in the medical record. Regarding the MDS, that includes lack of consistency in the MDS, PT, Nursing and CNA notes concerning ADL function, and failure to accurately document the number of wounds and stages. Following this session, you’ll be able to:
Understand the standard of care required for care plans and the MDS
Understand the importance of timing with care plans, care plan updates after changes in condition
Learn how care plans and MDS assessments are used by plaintiffs in litigation against facilities and nursing staff
