DESCRIPTION
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), has revised the “Long-Term Care (LTC) Facility Resident Assessment Instrument 3.0 User’s (RAI MDS 3.0) Manual to Version 1.17, effective October 2019. These revisions require nursing home clinicians who code the MDS 3.0 to incorporate new means to collect data, assess, plan, implement and evaluate new requirements into the day-to-day workflow to accurately code the MDS 3.0. that represents the resident’s clinical and functional status. Within the revision of the RAI manual, a new resident classification system will require the coder of the MDS 3.0 to accurately record the resident’s clinical and functional status, medical diseases and conditions that impact the resident overall needs, strengths, care and services that supports the quality of life of each resident within the LTC facility.  This presentation will provide the nurses and additional IDT clinicians and professionals basic instructions on how to interpret the intent, assessment, and coding requires of each section of chapter 3 in the RAI MDS 3.0 manual. LTC facilities are tasked to educate the interdisciplinary team (IDT) to these changes and assure each coder has a fundamental understanding on how to code the MDS 3.0 that impacts the CMS quality measure program, regulatory requirements, reimbursement, survey and certification compliance.

Our live 6-hour webinar series will be offered in one-hour increments, completed over three weeks, and will provide an introduction to coding chapter three of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 for the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) which includes: MDS Nurse, Social Service, Dietary, Recreational Therapist, Occupational Therapist, Physical Therapist, Speech and Language Pathologist. The participant can expect to obtain a fundamental understanding of the requirements to complete the MDS 3.0., interpret the regulatory requirements of the RAI manual and enhance the on-boarding/training process for IDT members who code the MDS 3.0.
