Hello, MDS 3.0!

MDS 3.0 - touted as the largest operational change in nursing homes since the dawn of the prospective payment system - goes into effect today!

Revamping the MDS meant that nursing homes have had to update their computer hardware and software, change policies and train employees on what to expect.

Among the biggest changes from MDS 2.0 to 3.0 are:

• The introduction of the resident interview
• Changes to Medicare Part A therapy's payment system
• Resident Assesment Protcols (RAPs) are replaced by Care Area Assessments (CAAs)
