April 10, 2011
9 am-4:30 pm
Marriott Wardman Park
Washington, DC

 




You are invited to attend a National Learning Session for nursing home leaders, state stakeholders, and representatives of national networks and organizations. It is a core component of the National Nursing Home Learning Collaborative. This session will provide "the 360 on MDS 3.0" -- a comprehensive approach to implementation of the MDS 3.0. We are very pleased to welcome keynote speaker, the new Director of the CMS Division of Nursing Homes, Alice Bonner, DPH, who will share her perspective and insights.

Participants will explore the workforce interventions and organizational practices needed to operationalize MDS 3.0 in a way that facilitates clinical improvement through individualized care. Focus will be on ways to foster staff engagement in the MDS 3.0 process and on the interdisciplinary and interdepartmental collaboration needed so that MDS 3.0 can be a tool for individualized care and services.

Throughout the day, the emphasis will be on how to put the MDS 3.0 to use in daily care, quality improvement, and organizational change. It will explore how to use MDS 3.0 as a pathway to individualized quality care. Better clinical results and more individualized daily life for residents contribute to increased resident, family and employee satisfaction. These are directly correlated with improvements in nursing home census and in staff stability. Representatives from the CMS MDS 3.0 Development Team will be on hand to present information about experiences from the first 6 months of MDS 3.0 and discuss CMS' plans for future QM development and public reporting.

Learning Objectives:
  • Explore the impact of quality of life factors on quality of care outcomes
  • Share organizational practices that utilize MDS 3.0 to facilitate clinical improvement through individualized care
  • Identify key processes for staff engagement in the MDS 3.0 and in subsequent interdisciplinary and interdepartmental collaboration to accommodate residents' customary routines.
  • Integrate MDS 3.0 and QI into daily practice among staff who work most closely with each resident.
