Pre-Screens, DMEs, and RASPs for Senior Living Communities

The following Pre-Screens, DMEs, and RASPs for Senior Living Communities is designed to educate healthcare providers (HCPs) on using pre-screening, Documentation of Medical Evaluation (DME) forms, and Resident Assessment-Support Plans (RASPs) to support admission readiness, resident-centered planning, and appropriate escalation when additional review is needed.

What you will learn:

• The purpose of pre-screening before admission or placement

• How to review pre-screen information for current needs, risks, supports, and service considerations

• How the DME supports review of health-related and functional information

• How screening, medical evaluation, and assessment information connect to the RASP

• How to write clear, resident-centered support-plan language that identifies the need, planned support, frequency, and responsible person or role

• How to recognize vague, incomplete, inconsistent, outdated, or concerning information

• When safety concerns, significant changes, service-capacity concerns, or PASRR-related questions require follow-up

• Role boundaries for documentation, communication, review, and escalation

Once completed, you will receive a certificate of completion to verify you have finished the training. Course Length: 1 hour and 15 minutes; CME 1.25.
