Try Your Hand at this M1100 Scenario
Consider availability of assistance in the home.
Think you’ve got answering M1100 — Patient Living Situation down pat? See if you can select the correct response in this scenario.
Scenario: Our patient lives with her daughter, but goes to an adult day care center during the day while her daughter works. How would we score M1100 — Patient Living Situation for this patient?
Answer: Base your answer on the daughter’s availability to assist the patient. OASIS item M1100 records in-person assistance provided in the patient’s home, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services said in the January 2013 Quarterly OASIS Q&As.
If the patient’s daughter plans to be available all through the nighttime hours (with infrequent exceptions), you would select response “08 — Patient lives with another person; with regular nighttime assistance.” However, if the daughter is gone some of the nights or is not present all of the nighttime hours, the answer would be “9 — Lives with another person; occasional short-term assistance.”
