  4. Let’s Address a Couple of Things Before We Get Started (cont.) • Yes, the new MDS 3.0 instrument will be challenging at first, but keep in mind that MDS 2.0 was challenging at first. Change is hard, but change is good! • “Perfect” doesn’t exist, we strive for perfection, but inevitably there will be hiccups. We all need to be patient as we work through the change together.

  5. Topics to be Covered • History of MDS • Why the Change to MDS 3.0? • MDS 3.0 Timeline • MDS 3.0 Training – Now and Beyond • Quality Measures and Public Reporting

  6. Why MDS? Simple answer: Because the law says so Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 is the Statutory & Regulatory Basis for the RAI To provide a comprehensive, accurate, standardized, reproducible assessment of each resident's functional capabilities To help staff identify health problems Balanced Budget Act (BBA) of 1997 Established the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) prospective payment system (PPS).

  7. History Lesson • October 1988 – Development of the RAI Began (HCFA established contracts with RTI, the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center for Aged, Brown University & the University of Michigan) • October 1990 – Effective date for the RAI • April 1995 – MDS 2.0 • April 1995 – Present – Instrument has remained relatively static

  8. Official Uses for MDS • Care Planning - December 1990 • Survey and Certification - December 1990 • Payment/Electronic Submission - June 22, 1998 • Nursing Home Quality Initiative/Public Reporting - November 2002 and the QIO Scope of Work

  9. The true intent of MDS is…. To make CMS happy? NO To give NH providers something to do? NO To give surveyors something to do? NO To make sure providers are paid properly? YES To make sure NH Residents are receiving appropriate care? ABSOLUTELY YES To provide NH providers with a tool to assess the status of their Residents in order to appropriately develop plans of care to optimize quality of life? ABSOLUTELY YES

  10. Why MDS 3.0? • Why not? • MDS 2.0 is outdated • MDS 2.0 isn’t consistent with current clinical practices • MDS 2.0 has limited value to NH’s outside of it being a required assessment
