Answer to Question 1

A
Federal regulations require that a resident be evaluated using the Minimum Data Set (MDS) within 14 days of admission to a long-term care facility. SBAR is a technique used for communicating and organizing a handoff report. HCFA guidelines govern home healthcare documentation. Joint Commission guidelines do apply to long-term care facilities. However, only the MDS assessment is mandated by federal law.
