OVERVIEW

In keeping with the success of their previous highly-rated distance learning education offerings, LeadingAge state affiliates and Plante Moran have teamed to offer a series of affordable, up-to-date distance learning educational sessions about the process of completing the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0, and the impact of its accuracy. The MDS is the focal point of everything in long-term care (survey, quality measures, Five-Star, corporate compliance, Nursing Home Compare data, and reimbursement).

Successful surveys (Traditional or QIS) demand accuracy. The information to consumers must accurately reflect the level of care and services the facility provides. Rightful reimbursement for Medicare and Medicaid requires an accurate MDS. Mandatory corporate compliance began in March 2013 and all systems are part of the scrutiny. Nineteen basic and intermediate sessions designed to meet each member of your team involved in the assessment process at their point of need. Each session has time for questions and answers. The team can access the same information at the same time via audio format, and sessions are specialized for particular disciplines to help you maximize your time; no travel expenses for the facility and continuing education certificates are conveniently accessed via our website.
