Now that we've all had a chance to get used to the 3.0 what do ya'll think? I hate the bulk of the whole thing and our corporation's software program is sooooo slow it's painful most days, but.. surprisingly I think I like the 3.0.

For the most part, our interviews are going fairly well. We've had several residents that I didn't think would even be able to participate with interviews do surprisingly well at at least making an attempt to follow along and answer questions (even if their answers were off the wall).

For the most part the questions themselves are more relevant and we've lost some of the "dumb" questions...I mean who really cares if someone took 14 vs 15 meds in a 7 day period.

What do you all think?

I'm familiar with the RAI requirements. My questions were of the "what recommendations could we make to CMS to improve the process?" variety. It is possibly a good meta-analysis topic for a grad student, if any of you have connections to a university.

Sorry, no. the questions MUST be asked verbatim. Not what I would want but somebody smarter than I am oredered this.

This came from the government. You only assume the people who created this are smarter than you are...:rolleyes:
