  • Form 2 - Interview (participant or proxy)

Details

If DRS assessments cannot be completed within the 3 calendar day windows, they should still reflect the patients’ status within that time period. Every effort should be made to obtain the DRS assessments, however, if any items can not be assessed, use code 9. Do not leave blanks. If a patient has an intermittent acute care stay during inpatient rehabilitation, use the DRS scores from the first rehabilitation admission and the last definitive discharge. In addition, if a patient has an intermittent stay which is longer than 30 days, it is then considered a system discharge and the discharge date from rehabilitation is the system discharge date and the DRS scores should correspond to that date.

Total DRS score is calculated using a computer program. If DRS assessment was completed within the 3 calendar day window, enter the date the assessment was completed. If DRS assessment was not completed within the 3 calendar day window, but still reflects the patients’ status within that time period, enter the last date that the 3 calendar day window would have been open. If DRS assessment was not completed within the 3 calendar day window, and does not reflect the patients’ status within that time period, enter the date the assessment was completed.
