Accuracy Matters: Navigating the MDS and CAA’s
3-Day Virtual Workshop
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 a 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 process and its relationship to care planning.
