4 Assessment Requirement Comprehensive assessment MDS + CAAs Required at least every 366 days Quarterly assessment Subset of comprehensive assessment Required at least every 92 days Unscheduled comprehensive assessments Significant Change in Status Assessment Significant Correction of Prior Assessment Assessment Requirement OBRA required clinical assessments Required for all residents of nursing home facilities and units in facilities that are Medicare and/or Medicaid certified regardless of payer (RAI) User s Manual CHAPTER 1 Overview Components of the MDS Layout of the RAI Manual Protecting the Privacy of the MDS Data CHAPTER 1: Excerpt (1 7) Monitoring the Quality of Care. MDS assessment data are also used to monitor the quality of care in the nation s nursing homes. MDS based quality measures (QMs) were developed by researchers to assist: (1) State Survey and Certification staff in identifying potential care problems in a nursing home; (2) nursing home providers with quality improvement activities/efforts; (3) nursing home consumers in understanding the quality of care provided by a nursing home; and (4) CMS with long term quality monitoring and program planning. CMS continuously evaluates the usefulness of the QMs, which may be modified in the future to enhance their effectiveness. 23 CHAPTER 2 RAI Requirements Responsibility for Completing Assessments Assessment Types and Definitions Required OBRA Assessments Skilled Nursing Facility Medicare Prospective Payment System Assessments Combining Assessments Determining Item Set for an MDS Record 24 4

5 Chapter 2 Excerpt ( ) Federal regulatory requirement [42 CFR (d)] requires nursing homes to maintain all assessments completed within previous 15 months in the active clinical record. Applies to all MDS assessment types regardless of the form of storage (i.e., electronic or hard copy). The 15 month period for maintaining assessment data may not restart with each readmission to the facility: When a resident is discharged return anticipated and the resident returns to the facility within 30 days, the facility must copy the previous RAI and transfer that copy to the new record. The15 month requirement for maintenance of the RAI data must be adhered to. When a resident is discharged return anticipated and does not return within 30 days or discharged return not anticipated, facilities may develop their own specific policies regarding how to handle return situations, whether or not to copy the previous RAI to the new record 25 Chapter 2 Excerpt (2 22) SIGNIFICANT CHANGE = decline or improvement in resident s status 1. Will not normally resolve itself without intervention by staff or by implementing standard disease related clinical interventions, is not self limiting (for declines only); 2. Impacts more than one area of the resident s health status; and 3. Requires interdisciplinary review and/or revision of care plan A significant change differs from a significant error because it reflects an actual significant change in the resident s health status and NOT incorrect coding of the MDS A significant change may require referral for a Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) evaluation if mental illness, intellectual disability (ID), or related condition is present or is suspected to be present 26 CHAPTER 3 Item By Item Guide to MDS 3.0 Sections A Z Intent Rationale Coding instructions Examples Tips and special population CHAPTER 3: Excerpt (L 1) CHAPTER 4 Care Area Assessments Background and rationale Other considerations regarding the use of CAAs When is the RAI not enough? The RAI and Care Planning The Twenty Care Areas 29 CHAPTER 4: Excerpt (4 4) CATs provide a flag for the IDT members, indicating that the triggered care area needs to be assessed more completely prior to making care planning decisions. Further assessment of a triggered care area may identify causes, risk factors, and complications associated with the care area condition. The plan of care then addresses these factors with the goal of promoting the resident s highest practicable level of functioning: (1) improvement where possible or (2) maintenance and prevention of avoidable declines. 30 5

6 CHAPTER 5 Submission and Correction of the MDS Assessment Transmitting MDS Data Validation Edits MDS Correction Policy Correcting MDS records that have not yet been accepted into the QIES ASAP system Correcting MDS records that have been accepted into the QIES ASAP System 31 CHAPTER 5: Excerpt (5 7) It is important to remember that the electronic record submitted to and accepted into the QIES ASAP system is the legal assessment. Corrections made to the electronic record after QIES ASAP acceptance or to the paper copy maintained in the medical record are not recognized as proper corrections. It is the responsibility of the provider to ensure that any corrections made to a record are submitted to the QIES ASAP system in accordance with the MDS Correction Policy. 32 CHAPTER 6: Excerpt (6-25) CHAPTER 6 Medicare Skilled Nursing Facility Prospective Payment System Resource Utilization Groups (RUGS IV) Relationship between assessment and claim RUGS IV 66 Group Model Calculation worksheet SNF PPS Policies Non compliance with the SNF PPS Schedule Chapter 6 excerpt (6 39) APPENDIX A Glossary Common Acronyms

8 APPENDIX D: Excerpt (D 1) Find a quiet, private area where you are not likely to be interrupted or overheard. This is important for several reasons: Background noise should be minimized. Some items are personal, and the resident will be more comfortable answering in private. The interviewer is in a better position to respond to issues that arise. Decrease available distractions. APPENDIX E PHQ 9 Scoring Rules Instructions for administering the BIMS in writing APPENDIX E: Excerpt APPENDIX F MDS item Matrix APPENDIX G References APPENDIX H MDS Forms Skilled Nursing Facility Prospective Payment System (SNF PPS) SNF Prospective Payment System Regulatory Mandate Federal law mandated switch from cost based to case mix reimbursement in 1998 Cost based = pay facility whatever it spends on the resident s care Case mix prospective reimbursement = predict cost of care using resident specific information from MDS and pay facility based on that

Intent (g) To assure that each resident receives an accurate assessment by staff that are qualified to assess relevant care areas and knowledgeable about the resident s status, needs, strengths, and areas of decline. Interpretive Guidelines (g) The accuracy of the assessment means that the appropriate, qualified health professional correctly documents the resident s medical, functional, and psychosocial problems and identifies resident strengths to maintain or improve medical status, functional abilities, and psychosocial status. The initial comprehensive assessment provides baseline data for ongoing assessment of resident progress

12 B0700. Makes Self Understood Item Rationale Health related Quality of Life Problems making self understood can be very frustrating for the resident and can contribute to social isolation and mood and behavior disorders. Unaddressed communication problems can be inappropriately mistaken for confusion or cognitive impairment 67 B0700. Makes Self Understood Planning for Care Ability to make self understood can be optimized by not rushing the resident, breaking longer questions into parts and waiting for reply, and maintaining eye contact (if appropriate) If a resident has difficulty making self understood: Identify the underlying cause or causes Identify the best methods to facilitate communication for that resident 68 B0700. Makes Self Understood Steps for Assessment 1. Assess using the resident s preferred language 2. Interact with resident. Be sure he/she can hear you or have access to his or her preferred method for communication. If the resident seems unable to communicate, offer alternatives such as writing, pointing or using cue cards. 3. Observe his/her interactions with others in different settings and circumstances. 4. Consult with the primary nurse assistant (over all shifts), if available, the resident s family, and speech language pathologist. 69 B0700. Makes Self Understood Coding Instructions Code 0, understood: if the resident expresses requests and ideas clearly Code 1, usually understood: if the resident has difficulty communicating some words or finishing thoughts but is able if prompted or given time. He or she may have delayed responses or may require some prompting to make self understood Code 2, sometimes understood: if the resident has limited ability but is able to express concrete requests regarding at least basic needs (e.g., food, drink, sleep, toilet) Code 3, rarely or never understood: if, at best, the resident s understanding is limited to staff interpretation of highly individual, resident specific sounds or body language (e.g., indicated presence of pain or need to toilet) 70 Timeframe for Data Collection Based on Assessment Reference Date (ARD), item A2300 (p. 5) Last date for collecting data for the particular MDS Most items look back 7 days: ARD plus the 6 days preceding it This is the observation period or look back period (these terms are synonymous) Using the wrong dates or not using every day in the look back is likely to result in accuracy problems 71 Who Takes Part in MDS Process? A registered nurse must conduct or coordinate each assessment with the appropriate participation of health professionals (42CFR483.20[h]) It must be an RN who signs item Z0500A certifying completion of all of the MDS items (483.20([I]) This is not verifying accuracy of the items 72 12

13 Who Takes Part in MDS Process? the physical, mental and psychosocial condition of the resident determines the appropriate level of involvement of physicians, nurses, rehabilitation therapists, activities professionals, medical social workers, dietitians, and other professionals, such as developmental disabilities specialists, in assessing the resident, and in correcting resident assessments. Involvement of other disciplines is dependent upon resident status and needs (interpretive guidelines, 42CFR483.20[h]) How is Accuracy Validated? Chart documentation that supports the MDS coding Any surveyor or auditor reading the chart should come up with the same coding decision that the person coding the MDS did MDS Essentials Please continue with MDS Essentials: Sections A, B, C, H and I Questions Please submit questions to: The New to MDS Community 77 13
