Suppose You Have 5 Computer Assessments Due, 3 New Admissions, 2 Disc

1.	Suppose You Have 5 Computer Assessments Due, 3 New Admissions, 2 Discharges And Care Plans Today. How Do You Prioritize Your Day?
Answer» Organize day into related activities to increase efficiency. Do all related tasks at once, i.e. gather all charts to complete MDS assessments at one time. Determine what time the residents will be DISCHARGING and ensure all services are arranged to facilitate a safe d/c plan (all this should have already been arranged prior to the day of d/c but now it's just making SURE it all falls into place). Since care plans are at scheduled TIMES, all other activities must take place around those. Save the new admissions for the end of the day unless INTERVENTION is needed sooner. Remain focused on the task at HAND. Minimize interruptions.
