37 Focused MDS Surveys 37 CMS Piloted a short-term focused MDS Survey Piloted in 5 states 5 nursing homes in each of the five states (25 total facilities) Citations were issued in 24 of the 25 nursing homes 2014 pilot citation results included; inaccurate staging & documentation of PU, lack of knowledge regarding classification of

38 Focused MDS Surveys 38 Driving force behind FMS OIG Study (37% stays - care plan, 31% stays - discharge plan. req., 47% med record didn t match MDS) Nursing Home Compare Media Scrutiny Currently expanding nationwide A minimum of 2 surveyors per FMS survey, one must be an RN. Estimated 2 days in facility, depending on size

39 Focused MDS Surveys 39

40 Focused MDS Surveys Surveyors will be required to complete a new post FMS survey questionnaire about the process and findings CMS staff to determine internally which facilities are to be surveyed in each state 40

41 Focused MDS Surveys Goal of the FMS: Assess MDS coding practices and its relationship to resident care Enhance surveyors ability to identify errors and citations related to MDS coding practices & resident care Assessment of the staffing levels and determine data that is self-reported on the CMS Form 671 Identify changes in the staffing levels throughout the year 41

42 Focused MDS Surveys Goal of the FMS: Compliance with the regulatory requirements for nurse assessment coordination Timeliness of assessments, and compliance with regards to initiating a Significant Change in Status Assessment Matching information found in the MDS 3.0 and the resident s medical record, using a series of worksheets and, in some cases, resident and staff interviews (CMS, 2015) 42

43 Focused MDS Surveys Focused MDS Survey Process Review records, supplemented by resident observations Staff & resident interviews, related to staff levels, care or other areas used to validate MDS coding consistency & staffing levels. Will conduct staff level interviews in regards to MDS coding practices and staffing. Be aware of what MDS tools you are using and know what they are looking for 43

44 Focused MDS Surveys Provide to Surveyors Staffing related to MDS, Quality Assurance Layout of Facility Policies and procedures related to MDS and Quality Assurance 10 most recently completed MDSs Correction requests Medical records to support the coding 44
