Question: Do you have to complete an RFA 6/7 (Transfer to the Inpatient Facility) each time the patient goes into the hospital for these planned admissions?

B) No, because this is a routine planned admission, not an unexpected or emergent care admission.
Do you know the answer? Quiz your clinicians before you turn to page 68 for the answer.
