You assess each resident in a long-term care agency receiving funding from Medicare and Medicaid programs using the Resident Assessment Instrument/Minimum Data Set (RAI/MDS).This documentation provides standardized protocols for assessment and care planning and a minimum data set to promote quality improvement within and across facilities.A focused assessment is limited to a specific body system.An admission assessment and acuity level is performed in the hospital.An intake assessment is for home health.There is no such thing as an auditing phase.
