bigchris 1 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 From the August 2004 issue of the Long Term Care Survey Alert-Vol. 6 No. 8 Survey Trends- CMS Upping the Ante for Activities: The most recent drafts of proposed changes to the MDS include revised guidelines for 2 F-Tags under activities/activity director ( F248 and 249). Surveyors will use the changes to assess the level of severity at any tag that has caused negative psychosocial outcomes. The draft for activities also includes a new survey protocol that would determine if "the facility has developed and provided each resident with an individual and ongoing program of activities that is designed to meet interests and attain the highest practible level for well being."

bigchris 1 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 As of right now, the new MDS is hard to find. I have seen bits and pieces, but I have not viewed the entire document. If anyone knows where to see the whole thing. Please let us know. Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacy 0 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 I just read that the MDS 3.0 probably won't be ready till at least 2007. If this is true or not, I don't know, but it was published in a monthly publication that is handed out to the departments.... PPS Alert.

flyingfree45 0 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 The draft can be viewed by going to the CMS website. http://www.cms.hhs.gov/quality/mds30/ On that page there's an area called Development. Click on Development, Draft version of MDS 3.0 and you'll go to a pdf file. I love the proposed changes in the Activity section which can be found of page 28. Enjoy!
