I have an ER visit from July 26 where the nursing staff did not document the mode and means of arrival for the patient. We have always sent it back to the nurse as that is a facility requirement to have it documented. The nurse is no longer here. Normally they are able to look in the dashboard and get the information from there but this nurse is gone so we can't do that. Can I leave those items blank in data entry and sent it through? Or is this a requirement for payment. I thought it was mandatory but now I am questioning myself on it.
