WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
The MDS is undergoing changes again effective October 1, 2024. Although this year is not as significant as 2023, nursing facilities still need to prepare for the newest updates. The MDS data elements can affect multiple quality measures in a facility and provide a snapshot of quality of care provided in a SNF. Join us as we review the MDS changes coming this October. Attendees of this seminar will:
- Identify the MDS 3.0 data element updates effective October 1, 2024
- Discuss effects of the MDS 3.0 data elements on facility reporting for the MDS 3.0 changes
- Describe a process of preparation for the MDS updates
