Have you checked the ER records? I often find many things documented there that will give me a better RUG score. Many residents are treated aggressively in the ER prior to admission to a unit where they are many observed etc.

If resident went out to the hospital, came back and upon review of the hospital record there is nothing to capture and no need for rehab, therefore not on the top 26 RUGs. We should not put them on PPS right?
