From MDS 2.0 Competency
to MDS 3.0 Mastery
Manage the Database,
Magnify Operational
Performance & Maximize
Reimbursements
Metro-Tech Conference
Center, Oklahoma City,
OK 73111
MDS 3.0 marks a new era
whereby long-term care
providers will be
identified, judged and
paid based on the
quality, accuracy and
management of its data
throughout its entire
operations.
But until its official
launch, facilities will
still be working with
MDS 2.0. This session
will begin to prepare
facilities for the
transition to MDS 3.0,
which is not “just a
form” for
one-dimensional
input; it’s a complex,
integrated system of
processes that begin
even before a resident
is admitted, that
continues to play a
crucial role in every
part of the residents’
clinical and financial
journey, even beyond
discharge. That means
every position and
process that the
transition from MDS 2.0
to 3.0 touches is
pivotal to a much larger
operational process
within your facility.
From nurse aides, RNs,
and DONs, to activity
directors, therapists,
dietary, care planning,
billing, and admissions
– all the way through
administrators and
owners – everyone will
be impacted.
Do Not Delay – this
two day seminar is going
to fill up quickly!
Approved by NAB for 10
hours CEU credit.

Regulatory Compliance and
Culture Change will

culture change practices; 2)
Quality of Life: Delineating
between Deficient Practice,
Common Practice and Culture
Change Practice will take
you on a journey in thinking
what we consider deficient
practice, what we accept as
common practice and what is
better, or culture change
practice, for each of the
Quality of Life federal
regulations; and 3) Artifacts
of Culture Change will not
only walk you through the
measurement tool co-developed by
Karen Schoeneman of CMS and our
speaker to document how “culture
changed” a home has become but,
better yet, give you the
opportunity to develop your own
action plan on implementing some
of the items identified as
giving witness to a changed
culture. This program has been
