The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has posted the final Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) User’s Manual version (v)1.19.1 to the Downloads section on CMS’
MDS 3.0 RAI Manual webpage.
The manual is effective beginning October 01, 2024.
Changes in this version of the MDS 3.0 RAI User’s Manual includes:
- Guidance for new MDS items, including the following:
- N0415K: Anticonvulsant and
- O0350: Resident’s COVID-19 vaccination is up to date
- The Discharge Goals column in Section GG (items GG0130: Self-Care and GG0170: Mobility) has been removed; the guidance and examples in Section GG have been revised to reflect the change
- Expanded guidance has been added regarding Manual Assessment Correction/Deletion Requests in Chapter 3, Section X, and Chapter 5 regarding situations where an erroneous PPS assessment is combined with an OBRA-required assessment (e.g., for a Medicare Advantage stay)
Specifics regarding all of the changes can be found in the included chapter/section change tables at the end of the draft Manual.
