If you're unsure whether someone else on your team has already submitted a screen for an individual, you are able to look that up in AssessmentPro. Save time and prevent duplication by taking the following steps before beginning a new screen:
Step 1: Search for the individual in AssessmentPro
Step 2: Check in Assessment History for existing recordsFAQs: Tackling Your AssessmentPro Questions
Over the next several emails you receive from us, we'll be sharing some of the most commonly asked questions we're hearing from Delaware AssessmentPro system users. Below are a few important ones to keep in mind. To review more, be sure to download the latest version of the FAQs resource guide here.
Q: Can multiple staff work on the same submission?
A: Yes, multiple people can work on a PASRR draft to prepare it for submission. However, only one person from a facility can edit the screen at a time. On the provider's landing page in AssessmentPro, there is a tab for Draft screens. Within that tab, there will be two sub-tabs: My Screens and Facility Screens. If the provider opens the Facility Screens sub tab, they will be able to access the draft screens within their facility. Once they open a draft screen, they can complete and submit it to Maximus.Q: If the hospital does not know which NF a patient is discharging to, is there another way to get the PASRR determination to the NF?
A: You can print the outcome and send it to the nursing facility that is chosen. The NF should read and review the PASRR before accepting the person to ensure they can meet their needs there (if this is a full Level II).RESOURCE: AssessmentPro Guides

As of 7/15, the DHSS/DMMA decision to employ various telehealth solutions for completion of assessments is now in effect. As an interim solution for the Delaware PASRR program, PASRR assessments will be completed by independent contractor assessors via secured Zoom and telephone.
Ahead of any potential lifting of face-to-face assessment restrictions, the Governor has mandated required weekly COVID-19 testing for any vendors entering a state nursing facility. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and strict usage guidelines will also be supplied to assessors, once in-person assessments resume. Updates on process changes ahead will continue to be shared as they arise.
