Our MDS Suite of Services
QUALITY MEASURE & FIVE STAR REVIEW
We provide comprehensive reviews bi-quarterly to ensure that the quality of care provided by the facility is accurately reported on the MDS and the five star reports. The first review occurs mid quarter, enabling real-time scheduling adjustments to ensure accurate reflection of the resident’s status and to avoid unnecessary triggers. The second review takes place before the quarter’s modification deadline, verifying accuracy and addressing any coding errors or discrepancies. We also provide initial onboarding education and ongoing support and guidance, addressing questions and concerns as they arise.
STAFFING/TRAINING
Short-term staffing and ongoing MDS services are available. We provide training to new staff and
potential coordinators to keep each facility running smoothly and up to date in the event of a change in any department related to MDS.
EDUCATION
We provide education on topics, including MDS coding, PDPM, CMI, ADL scoring, Quality Measures, HMO Case Management, etc.
PDPM
Hospital Record Review
We lighten the load of your coordinators by manually reviewing your records in their current form within 24-48 hours of admission on all PDPM-related items. Our findings are delivered concisely to your coordinators and our consultants remain available for questions and clarifications as needed.
Chart Review
We interact with your clinical team to identify patient-related trends and systems to help strengthen your facilities’ documentation and services
to the residents. We cover multiple areas for Med A patients on a weekly basis to identify changes/findings and education on the various parts of PDPM. At the end of each month, we review the UB-04s prior to billing to ensure that each claim is accurately billed to Medicare.
CMI SUPPORT
We review clinical records to coordinate services with the therapy department and nursing staff to assess changes in resident function, status, and mentation. We communicate with the interdisciplinary team to ensure we capture the clinical fluctuations that normally occur in the SNF to ensure optimal ARD selection and accurate reimbursement that properly reflects the care provided.
