To make workload adjustments in Stage 2, FTagReport.pdf the original owner of the assignment should not remove the care area or task. The surveyor assuming No outlier rule responsibility of the assignment should initiate the care area or task. This will ensure that the reassigned area is actually completed when the surveyors synchronize their Stage 2 data. For example: Surveyor 1 surveyor 2 to complete the activity care area investigation for resident #3. Surveyor 1 leaves the activity care area incomplete on his/her tablet. Surveyor 2 initiates the activity care area for resident #3 on his/her tablet and completes the investigation. When surveyors 1 and 2 synchronize their Stage 2 data to the TC, the activity care area will display as complete provided surveyor 2 completed the investigation. 21. Rate of CE Responses of “No”
