MDS Charting Emphasis for Staff

Hi there:

I am new to the MDS Title and really need some help with organizing charting for Nursing Staff. I got a great flow sheet from the AANAC for CNA's and would love to share this if anyone wants it. The flowchart is on Adobe Acrobat and I think I can download it for anyone here if you would like.

I am hoping to get some help with assisting staff with charting savy We all need help with support documentation for residents tht matches MDS and Staff/Nurse Charting.

Any and all help is appreciated.

We developed a PPS charting form. It is two sided and has room for documentation for all three shifts. It has blanks to fill in for vital signs, objective data, subjective data, new MD orders, meal and fluid consumption, elimination, therapies and progress in therapy, etc. It also has blanks for filling in diagnosis at the top and then a space to comment on assessments/symptoms related to diagnosis. This seems the best way to get all the info we need! After it is filled out it is placed in the resident record and substitutes for the nurses note. Fattens up the charts quickly, but gets us the info!
