MDS 3.0 Training Timeline
LTC Educator's Corner, March 1, 2010
Many providers are concerned about the various changes and education that must take place before MDS 3.0 implementation, but it is important that facility leaders do not take their anxiety out on their staff members. Nursing home leaders should motivate and coach their staff as best as they possibly can. Rather than punish staff when there is a problem or setback, facility leaders should reward accomplishments and progress. The road to MDS 3.0 implementation will not likely be a smooth one, but maintaining a positive environment and attitude among staff members will make navigating it a little easier.
There is a lot to be done between now and MDS 3.0 implementation. Providing staff members with the necessary training and addressing procedural and operational changes as soon as possible will be major factors in the success of a facility’s transition.
MDSCentral has an MDS 3.0 training timeline available for download.
