Kentucky Association of Health Care Facilities

Comprehensive MDS 3.0 Training Program

6 locations (2 in Louisville)

The Minimum Data Set Version 3.0 (MDS 3.0) is scheduled for implementation by CMS for certified skilled nursing facilities across the nation on October 1, 2010. Because this version is drastically different than the MDS 2.0, facilities need to train their entire disciplinary team in order to assure that they are prepared. The MDS plays a huge roll in facility reimbursement, survey outcomes, and quality measures available to the public - you cannot afford not to be prepared.

The programs have been scheduled early and often to allow facilities to send multiple staff to a variety of locations. Because of the complexities of the MDS 3.0, a comprehensive two and one-half day training program has been developed. Facilities should consider sending multiple staff to one of the first available training programs to be on the cutting edge of how to react and what proactive steps to take to stay on top of these new assessment changes.
