MDS 3.0: Beyond the Form:
Maximizing MDS 3.0 to Catalyze High Quality Individualized CareThe MDS process has the single biggest impact on every nursing home's quality care, reimbursement, survey results and public ratings, yet in most nursing homes, very few staff are even familiar with the elements of the MDS and most don't use it as a tool in their daily care-giving. This disconnect makes the MDS an empty burdensome paperwork exercise rather than the driver of high quality individualized care as intended by OBRA '87. MDS 3.0 provides an opportunity to hit the reset button on how assessment and care planning happens by introducing organizational practices that achieve high quality individualized care and maximize reimbursement for care provided. More than just a new form, the MDS 3.0 has the potential to drive providers toward resident-centered care.
Every home has to use MDS 3.0, but not all homes are using it to it's full potential. Implementing organizational practices that harness the impact of the MDS can make the MDS the engine of organizational performance. Integrating the MDS 3.0 into daily practice in a way that engages staff can reinvigorate unit-based quality improvement and care planning processes, advance person-centered care, and contribute to staff stability, morale, and performance. Homes that have these practices in place have seen improvements in workforce stability, quality of care, census, reimbursement for services, and other organizational performance measures.
Learn from practitioners who are using the MDS 3.0 to catalyze high performance and accelerate transformation from institutional to individualized care. Presenters will share organizational practices that integrate the MDS 3.0, care planning, and quality improvement into daily care among hands-on care-giving staff. Learn processes for high staff engagement that result in better care outcomes, increased satisfaction among residents, families, and staff, and better reimbursement for services provided.
Audience:
Organizational decision-makers, including: Administrators, Directors of Nursing, MDS Coordinators, Quality Improvement and Culture Change Leaders, Staff Development, Nurse Managers, hands-on care staff and others who shape organizational practices.

State groups will then discuss strategies that build on their respective strengths and integrate the MDS 3.0 Collaborative into their current and future initiatives. There is no fee for this session.

Both the Sage Conversations and Think Tank Talks were so popular last year that we have decided to bring them back. Come join us and come with an open mind.
Sage ConversationsSage (seyj) – noun1. a profoundly wise person; a person famed for wisdom. 2. wise through reflection and experience.During the first 30-45 minutes, our Sages will present a topic of their choosing. For the remaining time, participants will have the opportunity to engage with them in active, compelling, and thought-provoking conversations.
Think Tank TalksThis is how they work:
• Each Think Tank Talk will have a set topic and a facilitator.
• The facilitator will set the stage for the discussion.
• We discuss. • We will not want to end our discussion.
• We will walk away with new insight, inspiration and fuel for our next discussion.

Concurrent Session F: Exploring FurtherWe recognize that some sessions need more than 90 minutes…and we are receptive to the comments from many attendees who have indicated on their feedback forms that they want more sessions. With this in mind, we are ending our Luncheon Plenary a little earlier and have added this 3-hour session to keep the conversation going.
