MDS 3.0 was mandated by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The goal of MDS 3.0 is to introduce advances in assessment measures, increase relevance of items, improve accuracy of the tool, and include resident's voice by having resident interview items.
Every department in every long-term care facility will be affected - for better or worse, depending on their preparedness.
