  2. How many mds 3.0 assessments are you able to do in a day?

    rukiddingme replied to jessie26's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    I would have to say that 3 is probably my average also. But, it all depends on the job duties you have in your position. I assist in discharge plans, make family calls, set-up appointments, daily...

  6. Getting validations from Casper

    rukiddingme posted a topic in MDS Coordinator Information

  7. MDS 3.0 coding question

    rukiddingme replied to glm777's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    I have the same outlook - if the resident doesn't consider what he/she said in the interviews as a 'problem', don't care plan it. This is the resident's voice afterall, which is what the government...

    rukiddingme replied to katoline's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    We have had alert & oriented residents state "Didn't I just answer these questions for you 2 weeks ago? Why do I have to do them again?" Of course they're told it's rules from the government,...

  9. additional assessments

    rukiddingme replied to katoline's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

  13. mds 3.0 - what WERE they thinking??

    rukiddingme replied to glm777's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    We've been so busy trying to learn new software, how to read our MDS error check, trying to fix errors, and waiting on validation reports (when their actually being processed) that we've had LITTLE...

  14. LPN= MDS?

    rukiddingme replied to focusedvalpn's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    rukiddingme replied to rukiddingme's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    Once again we have a 'hold' on the processing of assessments by CMS. I have several that I am waiting for validation on, and their starting to 'stack up' in the office -- of course I don't want to do...
