Yes this person can be skilled. Care must be r/t hospitalization or a condition that developed while being covered by MED A. Therefore, since the wound occurred while the resident was skilled/Med A it can be covered now as long as it meets the skilled criteria for wounds/pressure ulcers.

We are having a discussion about a resident who therapy just discharged. Was treating due to CVA (non-compliant). While skilled under therapy, obtained a shear? on his coccyx that is now slough covered, getting daily wound care with a debreding agent and has an appointment with wound clinic. Can this be stretched to cover him still due to impaired bed mobility secondary to CVA was the reason shearing occured? > > _________________________________________________________________ > Find high-speed 'net deals - comparison-shop your local providers here. > https://broadband.msn.com > > /---------------------------------------------------------- > The Case Mix Discussion Group is a free service of the > American Association of Nurse Assessment Coordinators > "Committed to the Assessment Professional" > Be sure to visit the AANAC website.
