Re: RNAC's, do you do mds documentation?

[Holly Sox, RN, RAC-C]

The Resident Data Set (iirc) is available as a Briggs form.   When Mariner instituted their corporate-wide documentation system, Briggs supplied the forms.  I am a big fan of the RDS as well, and it is one of the things I am going to suggest in my 4 week stint as interim top dog.  ;-)   I also like the Functional Performance Record that came out at the same time.   HS Holly F.

I work for Mariner and they use something called an RDS done quarterly and we schedule that to be done during the ADR so that we can use it as part of supportive documentation.  It is Mariner policy and I love it.  I was prior IHS and Nexion and have to say that this is the best tool so far.
