MDS 3.0 Delay?

by lisalake Premium Member

Seems the word is out?..... there is speculation circulating around the scheduled date of the October 1, 2009 MDS 3.0 launch. And, if you visit the CMS 3.0 website, you will note that the published Time Line document has been removed. This occured on or about January 16th.
It is further speculated that an announcement will (might?) be made during the January 29th SNF Open Door Forum. SNF Open Door

Guess we SHOULD BELIEVE WHAT WE READ... at least what is on the CMS 3.0 website...
"The information listed below under the "Downloads" section is subject to change. CMS will communicate any changes to these materials on this page as well as through Open Door Forums hosted by CMS."

I am in indiana and asked my state coordinator this week when we could expect the training for 3.0.....she said she had tentatively scheduled training sessions thru out the state and then was notified that the "train the trainer"session she was to attend in baltimore had been postponed and she is waiting to see when it will be rescheduled. she said officially she has not been notified of a change in the launch date of oct 1.....so i guess it is anyone's guess. those of you who are working with the 3.0 now...how is it going? i have looked at the new 3.0 and frankly i am curious as to how it is all coming together.

I am also in Indiana and have spoke with the state mds coordinator and a few of my other consultant contacts and the impression that I have got is there is a few things that CMS wants to tweak before they train the trainer. Most of the coordinators can start looking at training mid May and it sounds as if the the implementation date will be 10/1/09.
