2020-07-12 07:55:33 PM careyjeff Do some just need asistance and materials
2020-07-12 07:55:50 PM maninder yes
2020-07-12 07:55:51 PM webernicole Residents who do not actively participate in groups, isolate themselves and dont keep themself busy independently, some are based on diagnosis
2020-07-12 07:55:54 PM balvarez yes
2020-07-12 07:55:59 PM maninder the level of care is different based on their needs
2020-07-12 07:56:16 PM maninder some just require materials but others require your time and attention
2020-07-12 07:56:21 PM webernicole Yes some we can provide the materials and send them on their way
2020-07-12 07:56:23 PM careyjeff Math cant do 15 minute 1:1s with 85 people 7 days a week
2020-07-12 07:56:58 PM marisah4 thats very true
2020-07-12 07:57:08 PM webernicole Thats why carts are helpful because you can reach everyone.... if your facility allows it hallway bingo
2020-07-12 07:57:11 PM careyjeff Right web. Back to diagnosis. Knowing our residents
2020-07-12 07:57:17 PM yadi1 Isolation is lead to bordom, then it gradually goes to depression, my goal is to keep all of my residents busy and making sure I visit all of them, to swing their minds to something positive.
2020-07-12 07:57:31 PM careyjeff Good you uses carts.

2020-07-13 06:02:43 PM haleypettigrew Okay so I am in the right one, sorry.. I am very confused with this.
2020-07-13 06:02:53 PM haleypettigrew i am so sorry to hear about your resident's
2020-07-13 06:03:01 PM feliciasuominen i'm great this class is just a little confusing to me!
2020-07-13 06:03:19 PM lbaker1989 I am getting used to this too! I am so sorry to hear that you have that many cases :( that is just awful
2020-07-13 06:04:07 PM julielangenderfer It is. I was very disillusioned with having to start an entirely new class. On top of the stress with covid and everything falling apaprt I can barely keep my head on straight and I'm an inch away from quitting.
2020-07-13 06:04:10 PM gwenbess Im doing well. Starting over from the beginning was a little hectic but im goo now.
2020-07-13 06:04:47 PM julielangenderfer I just hope you all are handling everything well. You all rock

2020-07-13 06:08:58 PM lbaker1989 We use PCC
2020-07-13 06:09:01 PM haleypettigrew Great! Thanks!
2020-07-13 06:09:07 PM haleypettigrew we use matrix
2020-07-13 06:09:22 PM julielangenderfer Point Click Care
2020-07-13 06:09:25 PM lbaker1989 Does Matrix have MDS?
2020-07-13 06:09:52 PM feliciasuominen We also use PCC
2020-07-13 06:10:08 PM haleypettigrew wait, jk I misundertood
2020-07-13 06:10:10 PM haleypettigrew we use PCC
2020-07-13 06:10:20 PM lbaker1989 ok!
2020-07-13 06:10:26 PM gwenbess we use matrix as well, i have an assessment that i have to fill out on each resident
2020-07-13 06:10:47 PM cynmoe Is this the discussion for the MDS 3.0? Im not sure what chat I need to be in. I'm trying to adapt.
2020-07-13 06:11:00 PM haleypettigrew we use matrix on one half of our building, its confusing
2020-07-13 06:11:01 PM lbaker1989 Yes! MDS 3.0 is what our discussion is about.
2020-07-13 06:11:17 PM cynmoe Ok thank you!
2020-07-13 06:11:27 PM gwenbess yes this is it
2020-07-13 06:11:36 PM lbaker1989 why is it helpful to know the residents psycologial and physical diagnosis?
2020-07-13 06:12:51 PM cynmoe To better understand what they feel and be able to communicate with them.
2020-07-13 06:12:56 PM gwenbess I think that it is good to have acess to the residents diagnosis. It helps to plaln activities and know what level each resident is at.
2020-07-13 06:13:01 PM julielangenderfer so we can plan around their specific wants and needs to help them have a great quality of life through programming
2020-07-13 06:13:28 PM feliciasuominen It's great so we can have a better udnerstanding of what they need and what they cannot have
2020-07-13 06:13:39 PM stargie69 its helps to derermine what kind of activities they are able to attend or right for them
2020-07-13 06:13:40 PM haleypettigrew To bettter cater and tailor our activities to our residents and what best suits them
2020-07-13 06:13:42 PM lbaker1989 Yes! :)
2020-07-13 06:14:27 PM lbaker1989 What other things about the MDS help us make care plans?
2020-07-13 06:14:30 PM gwenbess plus we can modify individuals to incorporate them in planned activities.
2020-07-13 06:14:39 PM lbaker1989 very true!
2020-07-13 06:14:45 PM stargie69 yes
2020-07-13 06:14:56 PM stargie69 you are right
2020-07-13 06:15:14 PM haleypettigrew It helps to communicate with other departments and see how the residents are doing overall in quality of life.
2020-07-13 06:15:47 PM gwenbess it also helps because it is an active tool. we can refer to to see what changes are going on with each resident.
2020-07-13 06:16:10 PM lbaker1989 so true!
2020-07-13 06:16:12 PM haleypettigrew Seeing their careplan and progress notes in MDS is helpful to figure out how that resident may be changing and what adaptations may need to be made
2020-07-13 06:16:15 PM feliciasuominen yes I like to be updated so I know everything that is going on with the patients
2020-07-13 06:17:03 PM stargie69 MDS is an activities component to the process using the assessment tool to develop consistent documentation
2020-07-13 06:17:04 PM cynmoe Yes it's very important to know what their situation is for instance do they eat solid foods or is it liquidfied? Big difference to prevent choking.
2020-07-13 06:17:07 PM julielangenderfer We can keep up to date through all the assessments
2020-07-13 06:17:39 PM lbaker1989 all of this is very helpful!
2020-07-13 06:17:42 PM haleypettigrew cynmoe that is a very useful and important aspect that we use daily! great point!
2020-07-13 06:17:45 PM feliciasuominen I agree with knowing what their diet is like so i know what to give if they ask
2020-07-13 06:17:57 PM gwenbess Its very beneficial to work as a team. If you can work well with your staff you can give them better opportunities to help you with suggestions and imput.
2020-07-13 06:17:57 PM lbaker1989 yes the diet is very important!
2020-07-13 06:18:02 PM cynmoe Yes exactly
2020-07-13 06:18:02 PM julielangenderfer Sometimes theres almost too much information though!
2020-07-13 06:18:14 PM julielangenderfer its a bit hard to navigate, but the more you do the more you learn
2020-07-13 06:18:29 PM lbaker1989 yes, there is a lot of information that is is hard to navigate through
2020-07-13 06:19:00 PM feliciasuominen agreed
2020-07-13 06:19:23 PM cynmoe Yes it is but it's essential for us to know. The more we know the better service we can provide for the residents.
2020-07-13 06:19:31 PM julielangenderfer of course!
2020-07-13 06:19:40 PM stargie69 absolutely
2020-07-13 06:19:42 PM gwenbess At first i worried about getting into the system. I almost felt like i was snooping in on their private information. Then I realized that it is a need to know basis.
2020-07-13 06:20:00 PM feliciasuominen I feel that way too! lol
2020-07-13 06:20:07 PM haleypettigrew It is also extremely beneficial when attending care plan meetings and being able to tell the family members or POAs what their loved one has been up to and what they enjoy most
2020-07-13 06:20:08 PM lbaker1989 yes! I was so confused about PCC and the MDS when I first started, but the more you use it the better you will be!
2020-07-13 06:20:16 PM lbaker1989 Practice makes perfect :)
2020-07-13 06:20:24 PM stargie69 true
2020-07-13 06:20:28 PM cynmoe I agree, it was a confusing
2020-07-13 06:20:30 PM lbaker1989 I agree Haley!
2020-07-13 06:20:54 PM julielangenderfer I think that has to do with all technology!
2020-07-13 06:20:57 PM lbaker1989 I am still learning from the program
2020-07-13 06:21:07 PM stargie69 I am too
2020-07-13 06:21:34 PM stargie69 I am not good in computer at all
2020-07-13 06:21:46 PM haleypettigrew I feel like I could learn something new everyday on MDS
2020-07-13 06:21:47 PM cynmoe Im new to the business, so trying to grasp all I can
2020-07-13 06:22:11 PM jillh left the chat room
2020-07-13 06:22:12 PM lbaker1989 yes we can learn something new everyday from MDS!
2020-07-13 06:22:18 PM gwenbess With the access that we have we can plan food experiences and come up with alternatives for those with special diets.
2020-07-13 06:22:30 PM lbaker1989 so true
2020-07-13 06:23:02 PM feliciasuominen its hard not having studied healthcare in school (my degree was public relations) but I try to make it work! i am learning so much from my coworkers and nurses
