Describe the history and intent of the MDS Focused SurveyIdentify the findings of the 2014 pilot MDS Focused SurveyDiscuss the importance of ADL coding AccuracyIdentify ADL Tasks and DefinitionsApply ADL coding accurately

Objectives

Slide3

Purpose of the MDS 3.0 is to serve as the clinical basis for individualized care planning and Delivery of person-centered care.The MDS is used for many different areas of quality reporting2013- OIG report found 47% of claims reviewed had at least one MDS coding error.

History and Intent

Slide4

2014- MDS Focused Survey pilotFive States- (MD, PA, VA, IL and MN)24 of 25 had deficienciesDeficient AreasADLs 15.4%One in every 7 cases2015- Expanded MDS Focused survey

History and Intent

ADL CODING

Slide6

Coding for my 8 hour shift

Coding on the MDS

2 Ways to Educate ADL Coding

Slide7

Coding For My 8 hr. Shift

7

Slide8

Self PerformanceColumn 1 Coding Definitions

8

Slide9

0- Independent

Resident completed activity with no help or staff oversight any time

9

Slide10

1- Supervision

Oversight, encouragement, or cueing was provided

10

Slide11

2- Limited Assistance

Resident was highly involved in activity and received physical help in guided maneuvering of limb(s) or other non-weight bearing assistance

11

Slide12

3-Extensive Assistance

Resident performed part of activity, help of following type provided:Weight-bearing supportFull staff performance during part of activity but not all

12

Slide13

4- Total Dependence

Full staff performance of an activity with no participation by resident for any aspect of the task the entire shift.The resident was unwilling or unable to perform any part of the activity.

13

Slide14

8- Activity Did Not Occur

Over the entire shift, the ADL activity was not performed by the resident or staff at all.

14

Slide15

When to Code (8)Activity Did Not Occur

Transfer- When resident never got out of bedToileting- Only if elimination did not occur during the entire shiftLocomotion- Resident was on bed-rest and did not get out of bed, and there was no locomotion via bed, w/c or other meansEating- Only if the resident received no nourishment by any route the entire shift

15

Slide16

Residents With Feeding Tube

Code Extensive (3)- resident received tube feeding by staff but feed self orally at least one time during the shiftCode Total Dependence (4)- resident received tube feeding by staff and/or was fed by staff orally every time during the shiftResident did not participate in any aspect of eatingDid not pick up finger foods or drink

16

Slide17

Staff Support ProvidedColumn 2Coding

17

Slide18

Code (0) No Setup or Physical Help from Staff

Resident completed activity with no help or oversight

18

Slide19

Code 1- Setup Help Only

Resident is provided with material or devices necessary to perform the ADL independently. This can include giving or holding out an item that the resident takes from the caregiver.

19

Slide20

Code 2- One Person Physical Assist

Resident was physically assisted by one staff person

20

Slide21

Code 3 -Two+ Person Assist

Resident was physically assisted by two or more staff persons

21

Slide22

Code 8-Activity Did Not Occur

The ADL activity did not occur the entire shift

22

Slide23

ADL Education

How often is staff educated on ADL coding?

What is your facility policy?

Does the facility provided competencies?

Do you give pre and post ADL scenario testing?

Slide24

RNAC ADL Coding of the MDS

24

Slide25

G0110 Column 1 ADL Self-Performance

Determine which ADLs the resident performed across all shifts during the past 7 days. (ARD + back 6 days)Assess the resident’s self-performance (what the resident actually did).

25

Slide26

G0110 Column 2ADL Support Provided

Measure the most support provided by staff to complete each ADL activity.Document the most support provided even if it occurred only once.Code Column 1 and Column 2 separately.

26

Slide27

G0110 Coding Column 1 ADL Self-Performance

27

Slide28

G0110 Column 1Conduct the Assessment

Review the medical record.Talk with direct care staff from each shift that has cared for the resident.Determine the type and level of facility staff assistance provided for each ADL activity. Staff assistance includes oversight, verbal cueing or encouragement, physical assistance, or full staff performance

28

Slide29

ADLs Performed by Facility Staff

For completing Section G, "facility staff" pertains to: direct employees and facility-contracted employees (e.g. rehabilitation staff, nursing agency staff.Does not include individuals hired, compensated or not, by individuals outside of the facility's management and administration. families, hospice staff, nursing/CNA students, etc. Not including these individuals allows the facility to retain the primary responsibility for the care of the resident.

29

Slide30

ADLs Performed by Facility Staff

If family or hospice do all the care for the resident then you code “8” activity did not occur and document it in the clinical record who gave the care.Example: Wife feeds husband all meals. Staff would code “8/8” for all meals feed by wife. Staff should document in clinical record that the wife feeds her husband all meals.

30

Slide31

G0110 Column 1Guidelines

Assess the resident’s functional status for each ADL.Document the level of assistance the resident required to complete the activity.Consider each episode of the activity that occurred during the look-back period.

31

Slide32

G0110 ADL Self-PerformanceCoding Guidelines

Determine if each ADL or activity occurred three or more times if it did code the highest code. If not,Apply the Rule of 3 to determine the resident’s level of self-performance. If this doesn’t apply then,Use the ADL Self-Performance Algorithm to facilitate accurate coding.

32

Slide33

ACTIVITY OCCURRED 3 OR MORE TIMES

33

Slide34

EXTENSIVE ASSISTANCE ( CODE 3)

Use code 3, Extensive Assistance, if a resident performed part of the activity over the last 7 days and help of the following type(s) was provided 3 or more times:Weight-Bearing support provided 3 or more times ORFull staff performance of activity 3 or more times during part but not all of the last 7 daysFull staff performance 3 times but not every time

34

Slide35

EXTENSIVE ASSISTANCE EXAMPLE

A resident received weight-bearing assistance 3 times during the 7 day look back period.THIS MEETS THE ADL SELF-PERFORMANCE DEFINITION FOR EXTENSIVE ASSISTANCE SINCE IT SATISFIES ONE OF THE CRITERIA.Weight-Bearing support provided 3 or more times

35

Slide36

EXTENSIVE ASSISTANCE ( CODE 3)

Two Criteria for Extensive AssistWeight-Bearing support provided 3 or more times ORFull staff performance of activity 3 or more times during part but not all of the last 7 daysThe only time episodes can be combined is when the activity occurs 3 or more times and at multiple levels, but not 3 times at anyone level.

36

Slide37

TOTAL DEPENDENCE (CODE 4)

Total Dependence applies only if the resident requires full staff performance every time the ADL occurred and the activity itself occurred 3 or more times during the 7 day look back period.If unable to meet this rule, Code 4 (Total Dependence) can not be entered on the MDS!

37

Slide38

EXTENSIVE ASSISTANCE (CODE 3)

If Total Dependence occurs at least 3 times but not every time during the 7 day look back period it can be counted under the second criteria for Extensive assistanceFull staff performance of activity 3 or more times during part but not all of the last 7 days

38

Slide39

ADL SELF-PERFORMANCE EXCEPTION CODES

Four ADL Self-Performance coding level definitions that are exceptions to the Rule of 3:Code (0) IndependentCode (4) Total DependentCode (8) Activity Did Not OccurCode (7) Occurred 1-2 times

39

Slide40

ADL SELF-PERFORMANCE EXCEPTION CODES

They must occur every time to code on the MDS and have at least 3 occurrences :Code (0) IndependentCode (4) Total DependentCode (8) Activity Did Not OccurIf any other code was coded with the above codes during the 7 day look back period you can not use the above codes

40

Slide41

Code 0 Independent

Must be coded at least 3 timesCode 0 if the resident did not need ANY assistance or oversight to complete the ADL every time.

11-708080807-300000003-110000000

41

Slide42

Code 4 Total Dependence

Must be coded at least 3 timesCode 4 if the resident is unwilling or unable to perform any part of the ADL for the entire look-back period every time.

11-744444447-344484843-118844844

42

Slide43

Code 8 Activity Did Not Occur

Code 8 if the resident or staff did not perform the ADL at all during the look-back period ORFamily or non-facility staff provided care regarding the task 100% of the time during the 7 day look back period

11-788888887-388888883-118888888

43

Slide44

Code 7 Activity OccurredOnly Once or Twice

Determine if ADL occurred three or more times during the look-back period. If not,Code 7 if ADL occurred only once or twice

11-788888887-388848383-118888888

44

Slide45

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE RULE OF 3

Rule (1): When an activity occurs three or more times at any one level, code that level.ADL Coding Scenario #1MR. X two times required guided maneuvering of his arms to don his shirt. Four times, he had pain in his shoulders and he required the staff to assist him with his shirt by physically lifting each of his arms. This component of the dressing ADL occurred six times in the 7- day look back period

45

Slide46

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE RULE OF 3

ADL Coding Scenario #1Observations indicate the resident required the following assistance:2 times non-weight bearing (limited assist)4 times weight-bearing (extensive assist)Code Extensive Assistance (3), The episodes of care occurred 3 or more times at one level- weight bearing which is consistent with the rule 3.

46

Slide47

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE RULE OF 3

Rule (2): When an activity occurs 3 or more times at multiple levels, code the most dependent level that occurred 3 or more times:ADL scenario # 2Mrs. C. required verbal cueing 4 times for hand placement during stand-pivot transfers from her W/C. She required weight-bearing assistance 3 times to help her rise from the W/C and turn back to the bed. She completed this transfer without assistance in 14 other occurrences during the 7 day look back period.

47

Slide48

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE RULE OF 3

ADL Coding Scenario # 2Observations indicate the resident required the following assistance:4 times supervision (Supervision)3 times weight-bearing (Extensive)14 times no assistance (Independence)Code Extensive Assistance (3)Code the most dependent that occurred 3 or more times

48

Slide49

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE RULE OF 3

Rule (3): When an activity occurs 3 or more times and at multiple levels but not 3 times at any one level.Sub-items under 3rd Rule of 3(a)Convert episodes of full staff performance to weight-bearing assistance(b)When there is a combination of full staff performance and weight-bearing assistance that total 3 or more times, Code Extensive Assistance (3)(c) When there is a combination of full staff performance/weight-bearing assistance and/or non-weight-bearing assistance that total 3 or more times, code Limited Assistance (2)

49

Slide50

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE RULE OF 3
