MDS 3.0 implementation will be upon us before we know it. As difficult as change can be, it doesn’t have to
be traumatic. With a good understanding of the requirements, effective advanced planning, and a facilitywide
team spirit, rather than a dreaded challenge, this transition can take on a process improvement focus
with better resident care and quality of life as the payoff. This session will explore changes in operational
and clinical systems and processes that can help to pave the way to successful implementation. It also will
highlight some of the key MDS 3.0 items that will require a new approach to completion.
Topics include:
- Getting organized for change
- Developing a transition plan: a phased-in approach
- Practice can make perfect
- The challenges of being a change agent
- The role of leadership in successful implementation
- A look at some of the key MDS 3.0 items
and the MDS 3.0 approach to completing them
