SECTION AB GENERAL NOTES:

Facesheet information is required on each admission assessment record. If the resident is discharged prior to the admission assessment, then 2 facesheet items are required (AB1 and AB2) and the remaining items (AB3 through AC1y) can be submitted at facility option. For records following the admission assessment for a stay, the entire Facesheet (AB1 through AC1y) may be updated at facility option.

FACESHEET (SECTIONS AB AND AC) SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

1. RECTYPEs A,AM, and AO. All Facesheet items, AB1 through AC1y, are required. If a fatal error occurs for any of these items, then the record will be rejected.

2. RECTYPE D with AA8a = 08. Items AB1 and AB2 are required and the remaining items (AB3 through AC1y) are optional by facility option (see Optional Submission Provision #1a below). If a fatal error occurs for either of the required items (AB1 and AB2), then the record will be rejected.

3. RECTYPE D with AA8a = 06 or 07 or RECTYPEs Y,YM,YO,Q,QM,QO, OM, and R. All Facesheet items, AB1 through AC1y are optional by facility option (See Optional Submission Provision #1b below).

4. RECTYPE O and OO. Facesheet items should not be submitted.

OPTIONAL SUBMISSION PROVISION:

through AC1y, must be submitted according to one of three patterns:

through AC1y are present, or (3) a SPECIAL AB5 pattern where all of the
AB5a through AB5f items (facesheet items included on the MPAF form)
are present and with none of the other AB3 through AC1y items present.
With the exception of the SPECIAL AB5 pattern, either all of the AB3
through AC1y items must be skipped or all must be completed. If some are
skipped and some are completed, then the record will be rejected. If
completed, each optional item must conform to the Format Info, Range and
Consistency specifications and fatal errors will lead to record rejection.

or (3) a SPECIAL AB5 pattern where all of the AB5a through AB5f items
(facesheet items included on the MPAF form) are present and with none of
the other AB3 through AC1y items present. With the exception of the
SPECIAL AB5 pattern, either all of the AB1 through AC1y items must be
skipped or all must be completed. If some are skipped and some are
completed, then the record will be rejected. If completed, each optional
item must conform to the Format Info, Range and Consistency
