We are a 19 bed facility. I am the DON and MDS coordinator. Three of us do the MDS. I monitor and do the Care Plan with the annuals. All the charge nurses do monthly summaries and check the care plan quarterly to make sure it is updated. I also do day charge nurse twice a week which helps me stay in the loop. the secretary puts out our forms for the CNAs to catch the documentation for the 7 day look back. I've always been a DON for large facilities and never got to the grassroots of it. Always spent my time looking for staff to fill a position. So this has been a dream job. Training more staff about all the tasks and holding them accountable for it has been part of the success in doing away with the MDS position here and the patient care outcomes have been more successful. More needs met. Our dietician does section K, SS their section and Activites their section.
We set care conferences up for Annuals only and hold those the second and 4th Wed. of the month. If the family and docs can make it even better. Hope you can glean some idea from this. good luck
I've written before requesting your input about the various additional job responsibilities (aside from assessment) that MDS Coordinators are performing across this nation. I had an AOL mail problem during that time and therefore little response, so I'm going to try again! I appreciate your response.
Could you tell me about your facility and how the MDS/RAPS/Care Planning responsibilities are broken down? Specifically, IDT input--their responsibility for MDS/RAPS/CP (from pre-admission to discharge), Medicare A utilization, daily/weekly/monthly meetings you attend, etc.
