Does anybody know when there will be more training coming on MDS 3.0? I live in the Knoxville, TN area.

Can't do "final" training YET.

Although MOST of the items are finalized, the "lookback" time frames are still "under discussion", since the results from the STRIVE study still have to be considered. The new manual is still being completed, and there is still discussion going on about how ulcers will be recorded. And then there is the RAPS/no RAPS decision.

So stay posted...

If you want to watch aninformational powerpoint presentation with audio, it is still available at: http://www.ahcancal.org/events/calendar/NatlDevOfMDS/default.aspx?InstanceID=2
