MDS 3.0 Orientation

[DavidKarl]

March 20, 2013 (I have trouble determining the posting dates for most of this site, some list the year, most do not);

Long term MDS Coordinator (2.0), out of the field for a few years. I'm teaching myself 3.0, as I did 2.0, like a million years ago- have some questions:

-Anybody have a list of sections indicating who (which discipline) completes which section?(It can be either directly onto the computer, or by a sample form you give each department, then you enter it into the computer)?

-Anyone have comments that relate to the perseverence of the your SNF administration to get the various departments to complete their work (and the assessements to back it up)?

-The new 'RAP thing they call the 'other name' has me baffled- any leads into how proceed from targeted items on an MDS, to follow that up on a care plan, etc? Even with 2.0, the RAPS were like diving down the rabbit hole= nonsensical, but they did end up with a comprehensive care plan.

Thanks. Email me, anyone.
