RUG-III Classification Model Version 5.20, 34-Group Extensive Services Category I Effective For Assessments With an ARD on or After 10/1/2013 Extensive Services Clinical Groups and Services 4-5 2-3 SE3 SE2 SE1 EXTENSIVE SERVICES (3 Categories) The resident must be receiving at least one of the following services and have an score of 7 or more: parenteral/iv, IV medication, suctioning, tracheostomy care, ventilator or respirator care. To determine the classification for the Extensive Services Category, an Extensive Service Count must be determined by the evaluation of the criteria for the Extensive Services category and by evaluating the criteria for Special Care, Clinically Complex and Impaired Cognition. The third character in the RUG-III classification (SE3) represents the designation for the Extensive Services count. SE3 Extensive Services (4 or 5 count) 7 18 SE2 Extensive Services (2 or 3 count) 7 18 SE1 Extensive Services (0 or 1 count) 7 18 1
Category I Extensive Services The classification groups in this category are based on various services provided. Use the following instructions to begin the calculation: STEP 1 Determine if the assessment is coded for at least one of the following treatments: MDS 3.0 Items K0510A 1 or 2 O0100D 1 or 2 O0100E 1 or 2 O0100F 1 or 2 O0100H 1 or 2 MDS Descriptions Parenteral / IV Suctioning Tracheostomy care Ventilator/respirator IV Medication A. If the assessment does not reflect receiving one of the above treatments, go to Category II, Rehabilitation. B. If at least one of the above treatments is coded but the Score is 6 or less, this assessment classifies as SSA. C. If at least one of the above treatments is coded and the score is 7 or greater, proceed to the Extensive Services Count. Go to Step #2. STEP 2 Extensive Services Count Determination: If Parenteral / IV is checked, include a count of 1 to the Extensive Services Count. If IV Medication is checked, include a count of 1 to the Extensive Services Count. Suctioning, Tracheostomy Care, and Ventilator/respirator contribute a count of 0 to the Extensive Services Count. Parenteral / IV is checked IV Medication is checked Suctioning is checked Tracheostomy care is checked Ventilator/respirator is checked = 1 count = 1 count = 0 count = 0 count = 0 count Extensive Services Count Possible range at this step is 0-2 STEP 3 To complete the Extensive Services Count: An Extensive Services Count is completed by evaluating the criteria for Special Care, Clinically Complex and Impaired Cognition. The final classification into SE1, SE2, or SE3 will be completed after all criteria have been evaluated. A. Go to Category III, Special Care. If the assessment meets one* or more of the Special Care criteria, assign a count of 1; (assign a count of 0, if no criteria are met in this category). B. Go to Category IV, Clinically Complex. If the assessment meets one* or more of the Clinically Complex criteria, assign a count of 1; (assign a count of 0, if no criteria are met in this category). C. Go to Category V, Impaired Cognition. If assessment meets one* or more of the Impaired Cognition criteria, assign a count of 1; (assign a count of 0, if no criteria are met in this category). *In STEP 3 even if the assessment meets more than one criterion in a category, it only receives an Extensive Services count of 1. 2
Category I Extensive Services STEP 4 To complete the Extensive Services Count evaluate the criteria in all four categories below and sum the count(s): Category I. Extensive Services Count - Extensive Service (0, 1, 2) Category III. Extensive Services Count - Special Care (0, 1) Category IV. Extensive Services Count - Clinically Complex (0, 1) Category V.

This is the final category used to determine the Extensive Services count for any resident who classifies in the Extensive Services Category with an of 7 or more. The second character of the RUG-III classification (IB2) indicates the level, and the third character (IB2) indicates the number of Services received. IB2 Impaired Cognition / Services (2 or more services) 6-10 IB1 Impaired Cognition / Services (0 or 1 service) 6-10 IA2 Impaired Cognition / Services (2 or more services) 4-5 IA1 Impaired Cognition / Services (0 or 1 service) 4-5 13
Category V Impaired Cognition The classification groups in this category are based on certain resident conditions. Note that certain conditions require special considerations. Use the following instructions: STEP 1 The assessment s total score must be 10 or less. If the score is greater than 10, go to Category VII, Reduced Physical Function: STEP 2 All residents capable of any communication should be asked (interviewed) to provide information regarding what they consider to be the most important facets of their lives. Begin with criteria #1: Criteria #1 Resident interview for mental status If all BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) items are completed, then a BIMS score is calculated: If one or more BIMS items are missing, then a BIMS score is not calculated. Proceed to Criteria 2. A resident with a BIMS score less than or equal to 9 is considered cognitively impaired for the RUG system. A resident with a BIMS score of 10 or greater is not considered to be cognitively impaired for the RUG system. MDS 3.0 Items MDS Descriptions C0200 Repetition of three words C0300A-C Temporal Orientation C0400A-C Recall C0500 BIMS score 5 Score <=9 is cognitively impaired for the RUG system Score >=10 is cognitively intact for the RUG system Criteria #2 Staff assessment for mental status Determine if the assessment meets at least one of the Impaired Cognition conditions: MDS 3.0 Items MDS Descriptions B0100 Comatose B0700 Makes self understood C0700 Short term memory problem C1000 Cognitive skills for daily decision making A. B0100 Coma and completely dependent for Self-Performance, if not then; B. C1000 Severely impaired daily decision making (C1000 = 3) If not then; C. B0700, C0700, C1000 These three items are assessed with none being blank or unknown: Two or more of the following impairment indicators are present: B0700 > 0 Problem making self understood C0700 = 1 Short term memory problem C1000 > 0 Cognitive skills for daily decision making and One or more of the following severe impairment indicators are present: B0700 >= 2 Severe problem making self understood C1000 >= 2 Severely impaired decision making skills 14
Category V Impaired Cognition STEP 3 Completion of the Extensive Services classification, if applicable, or the Impaired Cognition classification, if applicable: A. To complete the count for the Extensive Services Category, continue the Extensive Services Count by evaluating the criteria for Impaired Cognition by adding a count of 0 for no criteria match or a count of 1 for one or more criteria matches: Extensive Services Count - Impaired Cognition (0,1) This concludes the Extensive Services Count evaluation. Score Extensive Count Extensive Services Case Mix Index 7-18 4-5 SE3 2.08 7-18 2-3 SE2 1.70 7-18 SE1 1.45 B. If the assessment does not meet one of the above Impaired Cognition criteria, go to Category VI, Behavior Problems. C. If there is a BIMS score <=9 in criteria 1 or a match in criteria 2, proceed to Step # 4. STEP 4 Count the number of Services* received each for at least 15 minutes, each administered for 6 or more days and including any current urinary toileting or bowel toileting program. Record the total count below: Services: MDS 3.0 Items MDS Descriptions H0200C ** Urinary toileting program H0500** Bowel toileting program O0500A** Passive ROM O0500B** Active ROM O0500C Splint or brace assistance O0500D** Bed mobility O0500E Transfer O0500F** Walking O0500G Dressing and/or grooming O0500H Eating and/or swallowing O0500I Amputation/prostheses care O0500J Communication **(Count as one service (H0200C & H0500; O0500A & B; O0500D & F) even if both are provided) Total Services Provided Restorative nursing program criteria: Measurable objectives and interventions must be documented in the care plan and in the clinical record. Evidence of evaluation by licensed nurse during the observation period must be present in the clinical record. Nurse assistants/aides must be trained in the techniques that promote resident involvement in the activity. These activities are carried out or supervised by members of the nursing staff. This category does not include groups with more than four residents per supervising helper or caregiver. 15

RUG-III Classification 34 Group Model Behavior Problems Category VI Behavior Problems 6-10 4-5 BB2 BA2 BB1 BA1 A resident must have an score of 10 or lower. BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS (4 Categories) This classification is determined by resident exhibiting behavioral problems, such as wandering, verbal behavioral symptoms, physical behavioral symptoms, other behavioral symptoms, rejection of care, and/or potential indicators of psychosis i.e., delusions or hallucinations. Services and urinary toileting or bowel toileting programs are the secondary level elements measured to further classify a resident. The second letter of the RUG-III classification (BB2) identifies the level of the resident; the third character (BB2) identifies the number of Services provided. BB2 Behavior Problems / Services (2 or more services) 6-10 BB1 Behavior Problems / Services (0 or 1 service) 6-10 BA2 Behavior Problems / Services (2 or more services) 4-5 BA1 Behavior Problems / Services (0 or 1 service) 4-5 17
Category VI Behavior Problems The classification groups in this category are based on certain resident conditions. Note that certain conditions require specific frequency levels.
