Re: New supervisor

[Bee Baillargeon]

Our facility just this last fall added a new MDS Coordinator position and then I was moved to a department head position with the title of Director of Resident Assessment and the other 2 coordinators are titled RAI Coordinators.  As the Director of Resident Assessment, I am primarily responsible to schedule all MDS Assessment (OBRA and PPS), do all the discharge and reentry tracking forms, check for completion, print assessments, get signatures, submit, and do audits of assessments.  The RAI Coordinators are primarily responsible for the completion of the assigned nursing portion of the MDS Assessments.  We are a 238 bed facility and it is a full time job for all 3 of us.  We average 25-30 Medicare residents daily. ----- Original Message ----- From: Joyce Nicholson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2004 11:25 AM 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.
