the 15 months of mds does not need to be copied that just generates more paper work, we have our mds in a notebook that's easily accessible on the unit and not in the chart, when the resident is discharged then that goes to medical records, its in the RAI book, also the RNAC position is not well understood by most coordinators and not at all be the director of nursing and that is causing many errors and headaches, this position should be a department head and the nurse assessor allowed to run it, I spent many years training myself for this position and will not work under anyone who does not understand it

I know of the MDS and RAPs within 15 months. What else?
