[quote=Anonymous]Nurse here. 1. Is her DPOA activated? If not, the case worker who had her sign the form likely just looked at the chart, saw it wasnt activated, and had her sign. Likely had no idea about her change in mentation. 2. If it is activated, the DPOA needs to talk to the social worker 3. The DPOA or whoever is helping manage care if its not activated should talk to the social worker about the inpatient status. Its an easy thing to fix if it needs to be coded differently for insurance. There is an "observation" level of admissions even when on a unit, so you definitely want to make sure things are coded right. 4. If DPOA isnt active, definitely talk to the doctor about activating it [/quote]
