RNAC/MDS Coordinator

CMS has online MDS training at http://www.mdstraining.org/ . You have to register but it's free. IPro, which is New York State's quality improvement organization had Andrea Platt (one of the big MDS gurus) to do a workshop a couple of years ago and they put the audio files online at http://www.providers.ipro.org/index/...onferences-mds . It's actually on the enhanced quality measures but she actually makes it more of a MDS boot camp. There are 6 files, each about 45 minutes long. Burn each file to a cd or ipod and listen at your leisure. The MDS can be a tricky document but will become much easier with time. It is really just a collection of x number of questions with crazy rules about the timing of filling it out. Thats really understated, but anyway, good luck with things.
