The MDS 3.0: An Introduction course is designed to cover everything from the basics of the Resident Assessment Instrument, to the complexities of the coding, as well as an overview of the scheduling and Care Area Assessment process. While this course is appropriate for all experience levels, if you have little or no experience working with the MDS we strongly recommend viewing CMS’s archived webcast, “MDS 3.0- An Introduction” at this link:

Advanced MDS 3.0: Beyond the Basics is designed to help you learn the knowledge and skills needed to accurately and efficiently identify, understand and schedule various MDS 3.0 assessments. It will also help you understand the CAA process, including triggers, options for researching a trigger, and the care plan requirements. Ensure that you are completing each part of the larger RAI process according to policy by attending this training. It is designed for participants who have either completed the MDS 3.0: An Introduction course, or have sufficient experience working with the MDS 3.0 to prepare them for an advanced course addressing the more complex issues of scheduling and the CAA process.
Currently, there are no MDS workshops scheduled. Please check regularly for more information.
