5 ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING (ADLS) Calculation of ADL score: Late loss ADLs: Bed Mobility Transfer Toileting Eating 9 STEP #1 - CALCULATION OF ADL SCORE Calculate the ADL score for bed mobility (G0110A), transfer (G0110B) and toilet use (G0110I) referring to the chart below The eating ADL score will be calculated in Step #2 Self Performance Column 1 = Support Provided Column 2 = ADL Score = Record Score Below -, 0, 1, 7 or 8 And -, 0, 1, 2, 3 or 8 0 Bed Mobility = 2 And -, 0, 1, 2, 3 or 8 1 Transfer = 3 And -, 0, 1 or 2 2 Toilet Use = 4 And -, 0, 1 or or 4 And

6 STEP #2 - CALCULATION OF ADL SCORE Calculate the ADL score for eating (G0110H) referring to the chart below Self Performance Column 1 = Support Provided Column 2 = ADL Score = Record Score Below -, 0, 1, 2, 7 or 8 And -, 0, 1 or 8 0 Eating = -, 0, 1, 2, 7 or 8 And 2 or or 4 And -, 0, or And 2 or And 2 or STEP #3 - CALCULATION OF ADL SCORE Sum the scores for Bed Mobility, Transfer, Toilet Use and Eating to determine the total ADL score The total ADL score ranges from 0 through 16 A score of 0 represents independence whereas a score of 16 represents total dependence TOTAL ADL SCORE 12 6

7 EXAMPLE ONE: SECTION G G0110 Column 1 2 A BED MOBILITY How resident moves to and from lying position, turns side to side, and positions body while in bed 0 0 B TRANSFER How resident moves between surfaces to/from: bed, chair, wheelchair, standing position (EXCLUDE to/from bath/toilet) 2 2 I TOILET USE How resident uses the toilet room (or commode, bedpan, urinal); transfer on/off toilet, cleanses, changes pad, manages ostomy or catheter, adjusts clothes 2 3 H EATING How resident eats and drinks (regardless of skill). Includes intake of nourishment by other means (e.g., tube feeding, total parenteral nutrition) EXAMPLE ONE: ADL SCORE CALCULATION ADL Score Calculation Transmitted Values Column 1 Column 2 ADL Score (G0110A) Bed Mobility 0-0 = (G0110B) Transfer 2-2 = (G0110I) Toilet Use 2-3 = (G0110H) Eating 1-1 = TOTAL SCORE =

8 EXAMPLE TWO: SECTION G G0110 Column 1 2 A BED MOBILITY How resident moves to and from lying position, turns side to side, and positions body while in bed 3 3 B TRANSFER How resident moves between surfaces to/from: bed, chair, wheelchair, standing position (EXCLUDE to/from bath/toilet) 4 2 I TOILET USE How resident uses the toilet room (or commode, bedpan, urinal); transfer on/off toilet, cleanses, changes pad, manages ostomy or catheter, adjusts clothes 4 3 H EATING How resident eats and drinks (regardless of skill). Includes intake of nourishment by other means (e.g., tube feeding, total parenteral nutrition) EXAMPLE TWO: ADL SCORE CALCULATION ADL Score Calculation Transmitted Values Column 1 Column 2 (G0110A) Bed Mobility 3-3 = (G0110B) Transfer 4-2 = (G0110I) Toilet Use 4-3 = (G0110H) Eating 3-2 = TOTAL SCORE = ADL Score

9 ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING (ADL) ADL Self-Performance Measures what the resident actually did (not what he/she might be capable of doing) according to a performance-based scale ADL Support Provided Measures the most support provided, even if that level only occurred on Since each section uses its own scale, it is recommended that Self-Performance column be completed first then the Support Provided column 17 ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING (ADL) ASSISTANCE (G0110) Code based on level of assistance when using special adaptive devices Do not include assistance provided by individuals hired (compensated or not) outside of the facility s management/administration Hospice staff Nursing/CNA students Family members Self-performance and support provided may vary day to day, shift to shift, within shifts, 24 hours a day 18 9

10 ADL SELF-PERFORMANCE CODING (G0110 COLUMN 1) Activity Occurred 3 or More Times: Code 0 = Independent, no help or staff oversight at any time Code 1 = Supervision, oversight, encouragement, or cueing Code 2 = Limited assistance: Resident highly involved in activity Staff provide guided maneuvering of limbs or other nonweight-bearing assistance: Guided maneuvering vs. weight-bearing is determined by who is supporting the weight of the resident s extremity or body 19 ADL SELF-PERFORMANCE CODING (G0110 COLUMN 1) Activity Occurred 3 or More Times: Code 3 = Extensive assistance: Resident involved in part of activity Staff provide weight-bearing support, OR Full staff performance part but not all of the time Code 4 = Total dependence: Full staff performance every time during entire 7- day period No participation by resident for any aspect of ADL activity 20 10

11 ADL SELF-PERFORMANCE CODING (G0110 COLUMN 1) Activity Occurred 2 or Fewer Times: Code 7 = Activity occurred only once or twice Code 8 = Activity did not occur: Activity did not occur or family and/or non-facility staff provided care 100% of the time for that activity over the entire 7-day period For additional guidance please watch: CMS youtube video for Section G: 21 ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING RULE OF 3 11

12 INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE RULE OF 3 The Rule of 3 is a method to help determine the appropriate ADL Self-Performance code Staff must fully understand: ADL components Self-Performance coding level definitions The Rule of 3 To properly apply the Rule of 3: Note which activities occurred How many times What type of support was required What level of support was required Over the 7-day observation period 23 INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE RULE OF 3 The Rule of 3 steps must be used in sequential order Use the first instruction encountered that meets the coding scenario Exceptions for the Rule of 3: Code 0, Code 4, and Code 8 as the definition for these coding levels are finite and cannot be entered on the MDS unless it is the level that occurred every time the ADL occurred Code 7 as this code only applies if the activity occurred only 1 or 2 times 24 12

13 INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE RULE OF 3 Rule of 3: 1. When activity occurs 3 times at any one level, code that level. 2. When an activity occurs 3 or more times at multiple levels, code the most dependent level. 3. When an activity occurs 3 or more times and at multiple levels, but not 3 times at any one level, apply the following: a) Convert episodes of full staff performance to weightbearing assistance. b) When there are 3 or more episodes of a combination of full staff performance, and weight-bearing assistance code extensive assistance (3). NOTE: Do not proceed to c below if b applies. c) When there are 3 or more episodes of a combination of full staff performance, weight-bearing assistance, and/or nonweight-bearing assistance, code limited assistance (2). 25 INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE RULE OF 3 If none of the above are met, code Supervision (1): *This box in the algorithm corresponds to a, b, and c under the third Rule above The instruction in this box only applies when the third Rule applies, i.e., an activity occurs 3 times and at multiple levels, but not 3 times at any one level (e.g., 2 times non-weight bearing, 2 times weight bearing) If the coding scenario does not meet the third Rule, do not apply a, b, and c of the third Rule. Code (1) Supervision 26 13

20 RUG-IV CLASSIFICATION MODEL 48-GROUPER 39 RUG-IV, 48-Group Classification Model 20

21 Training - October 2015 RUG-IV CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM Index Maximizing Classification: Classifies in the group with the highest Case Mix Index (CMI) Even if RUG group is lower on the tree Used in Medicare PPS Used in Mississippi case mix Hierarchical Classification: Start at the top and work down First group for which the resident qualifies Primarily for training or research purposes Non-Therapy Classification: All the RUG items are used except the rehabilitation items (O0400A-C) 41 RUG-IV CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM Example of index maximizing: A resident meets criteria for both RAB and HB1 RAB = CMI HB1 = CMI Hierarchy RAB at Index Maximizing HB1 at

22 RUG-IV CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM Seven major resident classification group splits include: ADL split Depression Indicator split Restorative Nursing split 43 CATEGORY I: EXTENSIVE SERVICES ADL Score Range =
