From Alternative Medicine:
Results are in from a national survey of long-term care administrators
and MDS coordinators fielded by HCPro, Inc. (http://www.hcpro.com), a
Halyard portfolio company. While many are waiting for the MDS 3.0
implementation date to begin the transition, the concerns over
educating themselves and their staff members is starting now.
Twenty-four percent of those surveyed reported that they have already
started training staff, despite few facilities (only 16%) having
budgets designated for this effort. Most organizations plan to wait
until the final MDS (http://www.MDSCentralonline.com) 3.0 assessment is
released in March, 2009, before training will begin in earnest.
Getting staff up to speed on how to code the new assessment correctly
was discovered to be the single biggest concern among responding
facilities. But when asked about worries over the nuts and bolts of
implementing the change, a substantial 62% of facilities indicated the
amount of time necessary to train staff members on MDS 3.0 was the key
problem area troubling them...
