23 Section C CAM language & definitions have changed 45 Copyright 2016 C1310: Signs and Symptoms of Delirium Coding Instructions for C1310A, Acute Mental Status Change Code 0, no: if there is no evidence of acute mental status change from the resident s baseline Code 1, yes: if resident has an alteration in mental status observed in the past 7 days or in the BIMS that represents a change from baseline 46 Copyright

24 C1310. Definition DELIRIUM A mental disturbance characterized by new or acutely worsening confusion, disordered expression of thoughts, change in level of consciousness or hallucinations INATTENTION Reduced ability to maintain attention to external stimuli and to appropriately shift attention to new external stimuli. Resident seems unaware or out of touch with environment (e.g., dazed, fixated or darting attention) FLUCTUATION The behavior tends to come and go and/or increase or decrease in severity. The behavior may fluctuate over the course of the interview or during the 7- day look- back period. Fluctuating behavior may be noted by the interviewer, reported by staff or family or documented in the medical record DISORGANIZED THINKING Evidenced by rambling, irrelevant, or incoherent speech 47 Copyright 2016 Coding Instructions for C1310C, Disorganized Thinking Code 0, behavior not present: If all sources agree that the resident s thinking was organized and coherent, even if answers were inaccurate or wrong Code 1, behavior continuously present, did not fluctuate: If, during the interview and according to other sources, the resident s responses were consistently disorganized or incoherent, conversation was rambling or irrelevant, ideas were unclear or flowed illogically, or the resident unpredictably switched from subject to subject 48 Copyright 2016 Code 2, behavior present, fluctuates: If, during the interview or according to other data sources, the resident s responses fluctuated between disorganized/incoherent and organized/clear. Also code as fluctuating if information sources disagree 24

25 C1310.D Definitions of ALTERED LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS VIGILANT Startles easily to any sound or touch LETHARGIC Repeatedly dozes off when you are asking questions, but responds to voice or touch STUPOR Very difficult to arouse and keep aroused for the interview COMATOSE Cannot be aroused despite shaking and shouting 49 Copyright 2016 Coding Instructions for C1310D, Altered Level of Consciousness Code 0, behavior not present: If all sources agree that the resident was alert and maintained wakefulness during conversation, interview(s), and activities. Code 1, behavior continuously present, did not fluctuate: If, during the interview and according to other sources, the resident was consistently lethargic (difficult to keep awake), stuporous (very difficult to arouse and keep aroused), vigilant (startles easily to any sound or touch), or comatose. 50 Copyright 2016 Code 2, behavior present, fluctuates: If, during the interview or according to other sources, the resident varied in levels of consciousness. For example, was at times alert and responsive, while at other times resident was lethargic, stuporous, or vigilant. Also code as fluctuating if information sources disagree. 25

26 CAM Assessment Scoring Methodology BOTH Item A = 1 or Item B, C or D = 2 The indication of delirium by the CAM requires the presence of: Item B = 1 or 2 Item C = 1 or 2 EITHER Item D = 1 or 2 51 Copyright 2016 Section J New coding rules with falls 52 Copyright

27 J1900 Planning for Care A fall should stimulate evaluation of the resident s need for rehabilitation or ambulation aids and of the need for monitoring or modification of the physical environment It is important to ensure the accuracy of the level of injury resulting from a fall Since injuries can present themselves later than the time of the fall, the assessor may need to look beyond the ARD to obtain the accurate information for the complete picture of the fall that occurs in the look back of the MDS (J-31) 53 Copyright 2016 J1900 Steps for Assessment Ask the resident, staff, and family about falls during the look-back period. Resident and family reports of falls should be captured here, whether or not these incidents are documented in the medical record (J-32) Review any follow-up medical information received pertaining to the fall, even if this information is received after the ARD (e.g., emergency room x-ray, MRI, CT scan results), and ensure that this information is used to code the assessment (J-32) 54 Copyright

28 J1900 Coding Tip If the level of injury directly related to a fall that occurred during the look-back period is identified after the ARD and is at a different injury level than what was originally coded on an assessment that was submitted to QIES ASAP, the assessment must be modified to update the level of injury that occurred with that fall (J-33) 55 Copyright 2016 J1900: Example of the injury that did not present itself right after the fall Mr. R. fell on his right hip in the facility on the ARD of his Quarterly MDS and complained of mild right hip pain. The initial x-ray of the hip did not show any injury. The nurse completed Mr. R s Quarterly assessment and coded the assessment to reflect this information. The assessment was submitted to QIES ASAP. Three days later, Mr. R. complained of increasing pain and had difficulty ambulating, so a follow-up x-ray was done. The follow-up x-ray showed a hairline fracture of the right hip. This injury is noted by the physician to be attributed to the recent fall that occurred during the look-back period of the Quarterly assessment. (J-34) 56 Copyright 2016 Original Coding: J1900B, Injury (except major) was coded 1, one. Rationale: Mr. R. had a fall-related injury that caused him to complain of pain. Modification of Quarterly assessment: J1900B, Injury (except major) is coded 0, none and J1900C, Major Injury, is coded 1, one. 28

29 Section M Clarification on Present on Admission 57 Copyright 2016 M0300 Numbering and content revised for Step 3: Determine Present on Admission Should not be coded as present on admission If the pressure ulcer was present on admission/entry or reentry and subsequently increased in numerical stage during the resident s stay, the pressure ulcer is coded at that higher stage, and that higher stage should not be considered as present on admission Should not be coded as present on admission If the pressure ulcer was unstageable on admission/entry or reentry, but becomes numerically stageable later, it should be considered as present on admission at the stage at which it first becomes numerically stageable. If it subsequently increases in numerical stage, that higher stage should not be considered present on admission Should not be coded as present on admission 58 Copyright 2016 If a resident who has a pressure ulcer that was originally acquired in the facility is hospitalized and returns with that pressure ulcer at the same numerical stage, the pressure ulcer should not be coded as present on admission because it was present and acquired at the facility prior to the hospitalization 29

30 M0300 Numbering and content revised for Step 3: Determine Present on Admission Code present on admission If a resident who has a pressure ulcer that was present on admission (not acquired in the facility) is hospitalized and returns with that pressure ulcer at the same numerical stage, the pressure ulcer is still coded as present on admission because it was originally acquired outside the facility and has not changed in stage Code present on admission If a resident who has a pressure ulcer is hospitalized and the ulcer increases in numerical stage during the hospitalization, it should be coded as present on admission at that higher stage upon reentry 59 Copyright 2016 Example of M0300 Numbering and content revised for Step 3: Determine Present on Admission Ms. K is admitted to the facility without a pressure ulcer. During the stay, she develops a stage 2 pressure ulcer. This is a facility acquired pressure ulcer and was not present on admission. Ms. K is hospitalized and returns to the facility with the same stage 2 pressure ulcer. This pressure ulcer was originally acquired in the nursing home and should not be considered as present on admission when she returns from the hospital. (M-7) Admitted to the nursing home WITHOUT a pressure ulcer Develops a pressure ulcer in the nursing home (facility acquired) Discharged to hospital for acute change in condition Readmitted to nursing home with same pressure ulcer that was facility acquired 60 Copyright 2016 NOT Present on Admission 30

31 Example of M0300 Numbering and content revised for Step 3: Determine Present on Admission Mr. J is a new admission to the facility and is admitted with a stage 2 pressure ulcer. This pressure ulcer is considered as present on admission as it was not acquired in the facility. Mr. J is hospitalized and returns with the same stage 2 pressure ulcer, unchanged from the prior admission/entry. This pressure ulcer is still considered present on admission because it was originally acquired outside the facility and has not changed. (M-8) 61 Copyright 2016 Admitted to the nursing home WITH a pressure ulcer (Not facility acquired Discharged to hospital for acute change in condition Readmitted to nursing home with the same pressure ulcer that was not facility acquired Present on Admission Section N Updated Resources and Tool links 62 Copyright

36 Team Meeting to Review the Following Ask your team: Is there paper versions for Section C, and the Delirium CAA need to be changed due to C1310? How does the coding clarification rule on fall with injury change the process within the facility? Who will be the expert coder of GG and who will be the back-up? Who will help when rehab is not treating the resident? When should we start practicing? Usual Performance team discussion? o Not Worst or Best o Compare prior to the event o Which documents do you need? Would a Questionnaire be helpful? When will the software have your new item set available to practice?
