RAI Process Workshops - 2012
LeadingAge Missouri, in cooperation with several other associations, is co-sponsoring a series of RAI Workshops in 2012.
RAI Process from Start to Finish
This workshop will look at the RAI process from beginning to end. The MDS is used for both a clinical and financial assessment and this workshop will discuss the rules on scheduling these assessments and meeting the requirements individually and combined. Item-by-item coding will be reviewed. From coding the MDS the workshop will then look at the CAA to care plan process. An overview of the Medicare requirements that need to be followed for appropriate reimbursement will be discussed. Finally, the review will cover how to stay up-to-date in this ever-changing world of MDS 3.0.
This workshop is for individuals in long term care who coordinate and/or code the MDS and for the DON or administrator who needs a better understanding of the complexity of the RAI process.
This two-day workshop is approved for 12.5 administrative hours by the Board of Nursing Home Administrators and 12.5 contact hours for nurses.
Cost for this two-day workshop is $295 per person.
