The MDS Coordinator holds one of the key positions in a long term care facility, and works closely with the entire interdisciplinary team. Looking at the broad picture and spectrum of care, she ensures and enhances the quality of care. The reimbursement of the facility depends on the accuracy and consistency of her documentation.

This handbook gives the basics of the position, and could be used as a training manual for new MDS Coordinators, but anyone working in the field has much to gain from the book.

There are clear guidelines here to help organize and manage this demanding position, and to make it easier and quicker. Throughout the book are forms that will help streamline the process, increase quality of care, make the facility more survey sound, and maximize reimbursement.

All of the text, forms, and care plans have been updated to reflect the changes made for MDS 3.0, including current information on Care Area Triggers and Rugs IV. Whether you are new at the position or have been working for some time, you’ll find much in the handbook to make the job easier and your work more productive.
