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.
