CAU Core
This is needed for CAU Core 8 when there is a family/friend caregiver along with a person's name
What is contact information
This is the number of IADL's that need to be assessed
What is 4. Remember: If a blanket statement is used, such as "Member needs assistance with IADL's" we can accept that as compliant without the components being individually listed.
For CPU Core 9, this also needs to be documented along with the member signature
What is the date it was signed
RAC is a reassessment of what 2 measures
What is CAU Core and CPU Core
True or False: For SCP, it is valid to use evidence that a transmission of the care plan was sent to a facility.
What is False: Transmission to a facility and not a provider is never valid and should not be abstracted
True or False: For CAU Core 3, Current Medications, we need dosage and frequency.
What is False: The documentation of medication names only, meets the element.
True or False: A statement that the member quit drinking over 10 years ago can be used for CAU Supplemental 11.
What is False: CAU Supplemental 11 needs to be reported using a standardized tool. Free text is not valid for abstraction
This is the number of CPU Supplemental elements that are required to be compliant
What is 4
This is the timeframe that a re-assessment needs to be completed post hospital discharge
What is within 30 days
How many failed attempts to contact the member has to be documented to have a valid exclusion
What is 3
CAU Core 4 and 5 must be done on one of these unless there is documentation that the member is too cognitively impaired to self-report
What is a standardized tool
This element is used to screen for risk of falls, including whether the member has a history of falls or a problem with gait or balance.
What is CAU Supplemental 10.
This can be used if you don't have an Emergency Plan to meet CPU Core 7
At a minimum, include the name of LTSS organization staff or a contracted provider to contact in an emergency.
True or False: While Abstracting/Overreading an RAC assessment, "No Change" is acceptable
What is False. The documentation of "No Change" alone is not acceptable and can not be used.
True or False: For SCP, the entire care plan must be transmitted for it to be valid
What is False. It is not necessary to transmit the entire care plan to meet numerator criteria.
True or False: CAU core 7, Living Arrangements, a stand alone address meets the element
What is False: An address by itself is not sufficient
This is the number of CAU supplemental elements that are required to be compliant
What is 12
True or False: For Member Goals, CPU Core 1, it is valid to abstract documentation that is auto generated based on the patient's conditions.
What is False: Goals that are automatically generated based on the patient's conditions or risk factors do not count.
How many supplemental elements are needed for RAC to be compliant?
What is zero. RAC is the reassessment of CAU Core and CPU Core only. There are no supplemental elements.
This is what you would do if you have documentation that states "Member declines to share services plan with any other parties at this visit" and you have a COMPLIANT CPU core
What is propose the Exclusion in RateLift
When meeting with an established member, this is the timeframe that an assessment needs to be done in.
What is any time during the measurement year.
True or False: Member wears glasses due to impaired vision can be used for CAU Supplemental 2, current use of assistive device.
What is False: For CAU Supplemental 2, the use of assistive device is specific to devices used to maintain or improve mobility such as a cane or walker.
This can be used as evidence that the member does not have a cognitive impairment and that no plan is needed for CPU Core 4?
What is the Standardized Tool
If a member remains in an acute or non-acute facility through this date, we would exclude the member from RAC
What is December 1st
This is the time frame that transmission must occur in for SCP to be compliant
What is within 30 days of agreement to the care plan
