Breaking the ADL Code: A Team Approach to MDS 3.0 Documentation

Don't let inaccurate ADL scoring hinder your reimbursement under MDS 3.0

ADL documentation made easy for CNAs, RNs, and MDS coordinators
Use this comprehensive, 20-minute video to train your entire nursing team - CNAs, RNs, and MDS coordinators - on the new ADL documentation requirements under the MDS 3.0, effective October 1, 2010.

Familiar scenarios illustrate the ADL coding changes, provide concrete examples of each level of scoring, and walk CNAs and RNs through the correct ways to code the four late-loss ADLs. In addition, MDS coordinators will discover how to tabulate the ADL scores of each resident to come up with the final ADL codes, which ultimately determine reimbursement.
