I am struggling to find an answer to a question and I would like to know what other social workers are doing in regards to a significant change on the MDS and the PASRR. Ascend says that a new PASRR is required every time a significant change occurs regardless of cause, i,e, physical decline or improvement. Barb Brown, RN, at Medicaid says “no, only when the change is related to mental health.” She suggested I call IME. I did and they gave me a contact person but did not hear back. What are others doing? Any suggestions?
