A NEW 2 - Day Program! Join us!

MDS 3.0 and P.D.P.M. for Long Term Care Facilities
NEW MDS 3.0 UPDATE AND P.D.P.M. CHANGES!

Come for a complete review of the new MDS and payment items!
Course Description:

Operational professionals and members of the Interdisciplinary team must all be aware of the many data items and coding instructions that are part of the MDS 3.0 data base changes that took effect October 1, 2019. The size of this update is significant and impacts many parts of the assessment process and must be managed by the operational process in the facility, organization or company. This session will not only identify the item changes but the impact of the data on P.D.P.M. payment and current quality measures, overall care planning processes and internal policy development.  The New Long Term Care Survey Process has its foundation in the facility data base, identification of potential problem areas from the Quality Measures and other demographic data.  Surveyors will be looking at the data on the MDS as it identifies the elder’s issues and tracking MDS Discrepancies.  As one of the most active consultants and trainers Leah will bring her best ideas and strategies to deal with the new items, retired items, coding changes and policy changes that are necessary to implement their directives.  The program will provide the participants with documents, strategies and tools to collect data on the new items to maintain compliance.  The new regulations related to the assessment process, care planning specialized rehab services and quality of care have significant new narrative and will be discussed.  Many facilities are not ready for all the new requirements and need to discuss the impact they will have on operations and payment.  This program is an interactive, positive, fast moving focused on operational and clinical professionals as well as the MDS nurses.  This will be a unique opportunity  to get the latest accurate information  on Section GG, functional outcome scoring, Section I admission diagnosis, Section M coding of pressure ulcers/ injuries, Section N drug regimen review as well as new guidance for interviews.  Join us for this comprehensive review and excellent guidance on compliance and competence programs.

This will be a two day session with credits from the National Administrators Board – total of 12 hours.  This will be a unique opportunity to get the latest accurate information in a positive and interactive environment.  We encourage all facility administrators, clinical, therapy and MDS managers to attend.  No partial CEU credits can be given – you must attend both days to receive CEU credit.   Operational professionals and members of the IDT must be aware of the data items and coding instructions that are part of the changes that took effect October 1, 2019.
