This workshop will look at the RAI process from beginning to end at each item of the MDS. The MDS is used for both a clinical and financial assessment and will discuss the rules on scheduling these assessments and meeting the clinical and financial requirements. This includes a basic understanding of the PDPM and how it correlates within the RAI process. This virtual workshop reviews how to gain access to and read the MDS reports from CASPER to self-audit your RAI process and look at your QMs. This workshop is designed for the MDS Coordinator and Care Plan Coordinator, or for the DON or ADM who needs a better understanding of the complexity of the RAI Process.
Objectives:
- Describe the RAI process
- Describe the required forms and schedule completion of the RAI process.
- Review MDS items that are reflected in PPS reimbursement.
- Complete the RAI, including MDS, CAA and care plans
- Identify mechanisms for effective communications, as well as remaining current with the RAI process.
