RSS FeedRequest from CMS during the 3.0 TTT Conference
During the Train the Trainer MDS 3.0 conference, CMS representatives requested that resident scenarios be submitted to CMS. These scenarios will be used as examples of the coding in the revision to the draft manual. It was also requested that the \'answer\' be provided as to how the information should be coded. This will not only provide them with 'real life' examples of the difficult coding decisions you may have to make but also gives them insight into your thought process in making the decision. You can submit these scenarios to CMS directly at MDS30Comments@cms.hhs.gov or you can email them to Mary Ann Leonard at malhip@yahoo.com where they will be assembled into one document and submitted to CMS. In order to increase their likelihood in being used in the next version of the manual, likely to be published late May or early June, the submission should occur within the next 2 weeks or so. This does not mean that you should not submit anything if you cannot make such a deadline, submit whenever you wish and it may be used in subsequent versions of the Manual. This is your opportunity to participate in a meaningful way in the development of the Manual.
