Hi-Three: Hi-Tech Accommodates New MDS COT Regulation
|
Effective October 1, 2014, SNFs are allowed to do a COT for a resident who qualifies for a rehab RUG, and did not qualify as a rehab RUG on the prior assessment in certain circumstances. Please review the CMS Memo for details.
If the ARD is on or after 10/01/2014, Hi-Tech MDS error checking will not give an error that the last MDS did not qualify for a rehab score when you do a COT; however, the following warnings will be displayed:
- At MDS COT creation, the New MDS Information Confirmation screen will display:
Based on current information:

You must verify that the resident meets the requirements for a COT.
