The time is upon us once more! Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 training will be held
in Denver on July 17th and 18th at the First Plymouth Church at Hampden and
Colorado Blvd. We will again review the MDS 3.0 with emphasis on the Resident,
and also delve deeper into the intricacies of the tool. We will also be talking
more in-depth about quality measures, evacuations and Care Plans along with any
new directives from CMS. Training will be provided to the MDS coordinators all
day Wednesday and Thursday. Training for the IDT members will be included on
Thursday. This change in format should allow us more time to discuss the finer
points and to answer questions.
The room will be open 7:30AM to 4:30PM
both days. NHAs and DONs are welcome at any time.
Training for CNAs and SDCs
will be provided at LTC Facilities at their convenience and by their invitation.
Food and beverages will not be provided. Please bring your
own.
Registration is now open on our website. You can view the website by clicking here.When registering
please use an e-mail address that you have easy access to as I will be sending
you the Power Points for you to copy and bring to the training.
I am also
providing a MDS 3.0 Training for those that are brand new to the tool and
process. The first offering will be on August 20th and 21st at The Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment in building C, room C1D. You may
sign up for this training at the same place as above. Again, no food or drinks
will be provided, but you may certainly bring your own.
Remember,
EVACUATIONS are real! Do not discharge your residents from the MDS system if you
are the evacuating facility. Also, do not enter the new residents if you are the
receiving facility.
