Final response

Residents with PT Components Below Benchmark

Only one resident at CaraDay Demo currently has a PT component in the lower range (A–D):

Evelyn Strickland (ID: 21e38564…) — PT Component: B

  • Age: 88 | Payer: LTC Insurance | Admitted: 2026-01-30
  • Primary Dx: Displaced left femoral neck fracture (S72.002A), closed, initial encounter
  • Current HIPPS: BBADD (PT=B, OT=B, SLP=A, Nursing=D, NTA=D)
  • Risk Level: High

Why a "B" PT looks low for this case mix

A hip fracture admission for post-acute rehab typically benchmarks higher on the PT axis. The PT/OT components in PDPM are driven by clinical category + Section GG functional score. A "B" suggests either a high functional score (less dependency) or potential under-capture of GG self-care/mobility deficits at admission.

What the data actually shows

The HIPPS optimizer didn't flag the PT component itself — it flagged two adjacent documentation gaps that affect Nursing and NTA, both already supported by notes in her record:

  1. Depression not flagged — MD and MSW notes document "depressed mood, tearfulness, and decreased appetite" but no PHQ-9 (D0150) or staff assessment (D0500) was recorded. This impacts the Nursing component.
  2. Wound care not flagged on NTA — RN and MD notes describe a coccygeal pressure injury (1.8 × 1.5 cm) being actively monitored, but no NTA wound flag is set.

Recommended next step

Have the MDS coordinator (1) re-review Evelyn Strickland's Section GG scoring against the admission therapy eval to confirm the PT="B" is accurate for her hip fracture presentation, and (2) complete a PHQ-9 and add the NTA wound flag at the next assessment window — both are already supported by existing clinical documentation.

Would you like me to pull her full chart detail or review residents with low OT or Nursing components next?
