Title: Resident Assessment in Long-Term Care Facilities (HSQ-180-F) 
Abstract: Sections 1819(b)(3) and 1919(b)(3) of the Social Security Act, as amended by PL 100-203, require skilled nursing facilities in the Medicare program and before October 1, 1990, as nursing facilities in the Medicaid program, to conduct a comprehensive, standardized assessment of each resident's capability to perform daily life functions. The assessment must also describe significant impairments in the resident's functional capacity and be based on a uniform minimum data set specified by the Secretary. Sections 1819(f)(6)(A) and 1919 (f)(6)(A) of the Act require the Secretary to specify a minimum data set of core elements and common definitions for use by nursing facilities in conducting the assessments. This rule would specify this minimum data set and establish guidelines for using it.
