WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

The MDS 3.0 v1.18.11 goes live on October 1, 2023. To prepare for all the changes and updates to the MDS sections, facilities should work together to successfully achieve this outcome. The RAI process is complex, and involves many processes that influence the care for our elders. It takes a coordinated team to deliver the highest quality of care to residents while assisting them with achieving their goals and outcomes. Attendees of this seminar will:

  1. Identify 2-3 processes involved in the RAI system where the IDT is essential
  2. Understand functions of the IDT related to the RAI system
  3. Gain tips for successful management of the MDS 3.0 updates and changes
