In our building, our social worker schedules the care conferences. Our policy is to have them within 5-7 days of admission, which does not really make sense to us MDS Coordinators (Medicare and managed care) because we haven't had the chance to do the 5D assessment yet. Right now, MDS Coordinators and the nursing supervisor split the conferences (it used to be the nursing supervisor who does all of them). For our LTC patients, the MDS Coordinator for LTC schedules the patient's care conferences based on when she does her assessments.
