RE: Admission Care Plan

[Faye Jones]

I am in New York and I am not sure if it is a regulation in writing or not but our policy is that there will be a basic care plan within 24 hours of admission and I do know it is our survey teams expectation.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Corey Ali Sent: Monday, February 09, 2004 6:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Admission Care Plan   In Michigan, and perhaps as a standard of care?, I was taught that we had to have at least one care plan in place addressing the primary problem within 24 hours.  This is in both hospitals and in nursing facilities.  I have a preliminary admission care plan which is quick, simple and dirty, (and if memory serves me right, I think I sent it to you months ago), which you just date and check off, and it covers almost all the problems we need.  It's good for 21 days, or until you get your "real care plans" in the chart.  ----- Original Message ----- From: Holly Sox, RN, RAC-C To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 09, 2004 10:43 AM Subject: Admission Care Plan   Hi Y'all,   I was asked a question today that I really should know the answer to, but discover I do not.  What is the regulation addressing the initial plan of care;  ie. after admission, how long does the facility have to get the initial care plan on the chart. I found the reg on comprehensive care plan, but cannot find anything specific to an admission care plan.   Is there an actual time frame, or is it one of those things that's open to interpretation?   Thank you in advance.   Holly Holly F.
