survey performance and provides the basis for care planning, outcomes
measurement and reimbursement accuracy. Properly executed and implemented, the

problems.

completion to actual application of the data. The instructor will focus on the
most complex and misunderstood aspects of MDS completion and will demonstrate
practical and useful techniques in managing the entire process. You can look
forward to an enlightening six hours of valuable instruction.
