ACCURACY MATTERS – NAVIGATING THE NEW MDS LANDSCAPE
Partnering with LeadingAge Oregon
OVERVIEW
The MDS is a critical nursing facility assessment tool that can directly impact resident quality of care, reimbursement, survey outcomes and your publicly posted quality measures. During this three-day virtual workshop, attendees will take a tour of all MDS sections, including review of the steps for assessment of each section, common coding errors and review of systems and processes to better provide for MDS completion accuracy. The final day of the workshop will include the care area assessment (CAA) process and its relationship to care planning, and an overview of the Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM).
OBJECTIVES:
- Review the standards for completion of the MDS, including the MDS assessment schedule.
- Understand the specific sections of the MDS critical to facility performance and the provision of person-centered quality care.
- Review the Care Area Assessment Process and how it relates to the development of a care plan.
- Inspect the Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM) and how facility reimbursement is established.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Any staff member responsible for completion of any part of the MDS, including nursing, dietary, activities, social services, and medical records.
