CMS Posts Revised MDS 3.0 Subsets, Additional Info

After remaining quiet on the MDS 3.0 front since January, CMS has released several MDS-related documents in the past few days. Head over to http://www.cms.gov/ to check out the following:

• On April 8, CMS posted an updated version of the MDS 3.0 subsets. You can download the zip file of these subsets here. The file lists the changes that have been made to each of the individual item subsets since the previously posted version.
• On April 9, CMS released a Q&A document to address questions that were asked during the March 2010 Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) Training in Baltimore. You can find that document (it's a savable PDF) here.
• On April 10, an updated MDS 3.0 implementation timeline was posted. You can download the PDF here.
