OVERVIEW (click
for printable Overview document)
In keeping with the
success of their previous highly-rated distance learning
education offerings, AOPHA and Plante & Moran have
teamed to offer a series of affordable, up-to-date
distance learning educational sessions about the process
of completing the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 – the new
tool that was implemented October 1, 2010. The MDS
drives everything in long-term care (survey, quality
indicators/quality measures, data for Nursing Home
Compare, reimbursement) and with the new process,
accuracy of the MDS will be a challenge for the
interdisciplinary team. We will break down the MDS 3.0
section by section, plus, we are offering a session
designed for the senior leadership of your organization.
Successful surveys demand accurate MDSs. To provide the
best information to consumers the facility must generate
accurate MDSs. Rightful reimbursement for Medicare and
Medicaid requires an accurate MDS. Each of these 11, 90
minute sessions is designed to build on one another and
fit the needs of all disciplines involved in the
assessment process. Each session will have time for
questions and answers. The team can hear and see the
same information at the same time via audio format; no
travel expenses for the facility and continuing
education certificates will be sent to your door.
