Understanding the Significance of Coding Infections on the Minimum Data Set (MDS)
Thursday, Jan. 18 | Noon CT
Register online.
The accuracy of the MDS plays a pivotal role in shaping resident care, reimbursement processes and quality measures. With so many issues demanding attention, it is easy to think of the MDS as a task to complete but not consider the story the data tells about your facility. Coding an infection in Section I: Diagnoses, Section M: Skin Conditions and Section O: Treatments has implications beyond a checkmark in a box. It is part of the data profile for stakeholders, including residents, consumers, state/federal quality initiatives and surveyors. This webinar aims to equip the long-term care clinical team with the essential knowledge and strategies to navigate the complexities of coding infections.
