Q: Where do I document all my results from the interviews I complete?
A: The MDS 3.0 is now a source document. If the resident is interviewable, the answers that they give are directly documented on the MDS tool for each interview completed. The scores or answers may result in a CAT (Care Area Trigger) on specific types of MDS’s (OBRA Admission assessment, Significant Change in Status assessment, Annual Assessment or Significant Correction of a prior Comprehensive assessment) and a CAA (Care Area Assessment) can be completed to determine the cause of the triggered area. Also, your resident’s clinical record is a source document and you can site the location of information that may support the triggered area.
MDS 3.0 and RUGS IV are bringing many changes to facility operations including many that specifically impact financial viability. We’re here to help you navigate these changes and provide advice from industry experts.
