Ready, set, assess! MDS 3.0 goes into effect today

The much anticipated (or dreaded, depending on your point of view) MDS 3.0 resident assessment tool begins today. Months of meetings, planning, and practice will be put to real time use as administrators and their teams work to manage compliance without suffering revenue losses. We’d like your feedback (if you have time!) on your MDS 3.0 experience—your successes, frustrations, tips for industry colleagues, and general observations. Drop us a line in the comments below, or contact me at psheehan@iadvanceseniorcare.com.
