The items in this section indicate the possible reasons for the modification request of the record in iQIES. Check all that apply. These items should only be completed when A0050 = 2, indicating a modification request. If A0050 = 3, indicating an inactivation request, these items should be skipped. Coding Instructions for X0900A, Transcription Error Check the box if any errors in the prior record accepted into iQIES were caused by data transcription errors. A transcription error includes any error made recording MDS assessment or tracking form information from other sources. An example is transposing the digits for the resident’s weight (e.g., recording “191” rather than the correct weight of “119” that appears in the medical record).
Coding Instructions for X0900B, Data Entry Error
Check the box if any errors in the prior record accepted into iQIES were caused by data entry errors. A data entry error includes any error made while encoding MDS assessment or tracking form information into the facility's computer system. An example is an error where the response to the individual minutes of physical therapy O0425C1 is incorrectly encoded as “3000” minutes rather than the correct number of “0030” minutes. Coding Instructions for X0900C, Software Product Error Check the box if any errors in the prior record accepted into iQIES were caused by software product errors. A software product error includes any error created by the encoding software, such as storing an item in the wrong format (e.g., storing weight as “020” instead of “200”). Coding Instructions for X0900D, Item Coding Error Check the box if any errors in the prior record accepted into iQIES were caused by item coding errors. An item coding error includes any error made coding an MDS item (for exceptions when certain items may not be modified see Chapter 5), such as choosing an incorrect code for the Functional Abilities – Mobility item GG0170A, Roll left and right (e.g., choosing a code of “02” for a resident who requires supervision and should be coded as “04”). Item coding errors may result when an assessor makes an incorrect judgment or misunderstands the RAI coding instructions. Coding Instructions for X0900Z, Other Error Requiring Modification Check the box if any errors in the prior record accepted into iQIES were caused by other types of errors not included in Items X0900A through X0900D. Such an error includes any other type of error that causes a record accepted into iQIES to require modification under the Correction Policy. An example would be when a record is prematurely submitted prior to final completion of editing and review. Facility staff should describe the “other error” in the space provided with the item.
