each resident at least once every three months, and as appropriate, revise the
resident's assessment to assure the continued accuracy of the assessment.
(d) Changes in a resident's
condition which are self-limiting and which will not affect the functional
capacity of the resident over the long term do not in themselves require a

subsection (h).
(f) The nursing
facility shall conduct or coordinate each assessment with the participation of

and timetables to meet a resident's physical, mental, and psychosocial needs
that are identified in the comprehensive assessment.
(2) The comprehensive care plan shall be:
(A) Developed within seven days after
completion of the comprehensive assessment; and
(B) prepared by an interdisciplinary team
including the attending physician, a registered nurse with responsibility for
the care of the resident, and other appropriate staff in other disciplines as
determined by the resident's needs, and with the participation of the resident,
the resident's legal representative, and the resident's family to the extent
practicable.
(i) The services provided or arranged by the
facility shall:
(1) Meet professional
standards of quality; and

assessment, K.A.R. 28-39-151(a). This summary shall be available for release
at the time of discharge to authorized persons and agencies, with the consent
of the resident or the resident's legal representative; and
(3) a post-discharge plan to assist the
resident in the adjustment to a new environment. The resident, and when
appropriate, the resident's family, shall participate in the development of the
plan.
