RE: New supervisor

[Jane Holmer]

I am the MDS Coordinator at my facility.  I do the scheduling, transmitting and monitoring.  The other 2 nurses who work in this departments are MDS Associates as they complete assignments as scheduled, they do not coordinate the MDS process.  I sign all assessments as the MDS coordinator, they sign the attestation for the sections they complete.  I am considered a department head and a direct report to the LNHA.         Jane -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Joyce Nicholson Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2004 12:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: New supervisor If the new position is head of the department, how about Director of Resident Assessment? >From: "Holly Sox, RN, RAC-C" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: New supervisor >Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2004 22:00:32 -0500 > >I had a position similar to this at my previous facility, and was titled "Lead MDS Coordinator". > > >Holly F.
