This fast moving interactive program will discuss the changes to the RAI process that will be implemented April 1, 2012.  The changes are significant and require the MDS managers and the members of the Interdisciplinary Team to be aware of their individual roles in facilitating the changes at the facility level.  The definitions for many terms and items have been changed.  Some of the changes are clarifications and assist the team to document issues and items with more clarity.  Changes to the content and coding of the RAI documents have been made and some of the tracking assessments have been shortened.  The program will target the steps that teams in the facilities should take to adapt to the new form and formats as well as the definitions that  will change how documentation will be completed.  A must-do session for operational, clinical, financial and management professionals.

  • Identify the key coding and definitional changes in the RAI Manual – April 2012
