2020-10-19 02:18:57 PM lboffeli Especially my skilled residents. They are very independent and at times its hard to get much out of them on their interests because that are not always pleased with being in a nursing home setting

2020-10-19 03:01:34 PM wmcollins thank you !
2020-10-19 03:01:35 PM shedenaalexander Good Deal.. Thanks
2020-10-19 03:02:15 PM wmcollins I like these chats ! they are fun
2020-10-19 03:02:21 PM lboffeli Rachel how do you feel about MDS 3.0. Is there anything in particular you had questions or wanted to disucss?
2020-10-19 03:02:33 PM wmcollins I get great ideals from them !
2020-10-19 03:02:50 PM rpennino I have a brief overview of it but am here to learn!
2020-10-19 03:02:55 PM johnson94 MDS is one of the easy parts for me.
2020-10-19 03:03:06 PM rpennino looking at it it is definitely a much more comprehensive exam than I've been doing on my residents
2020-10-19 03:03:38 PM johnson94 Since i was in this group do i now need to do my own
2020-10-19 03:03:47 PM shedenaalexander So from what I understand about MDS 3.0 is that there are alot of coded dieases
2020-10-19 03:04:02 PM rpennino So this is used to evaluate throughout different times of the resident being admitted?
2020-10-19 03:04:20 PM lboffeli I feel MDS 3.0 is something very complex but after using it for a few years it becomes very useful and easy to understand
2020-10-19 03:04:38 PM rpennino Is this your go to evaluation for residents?
2020-10-19 03:04:45 PM johnson94 its very useful once you get to know it
2020-10-19 03:04:46 PM shedenaalexander I dont think so Johnson I think we all get credit for particapting
2020-10-19 03:04:51 PM rpennino I'm new to the Activities field, started this position a couple months ago and l
2020-10-19 03:04:58 PM rpennino I learn something new I haven't been doing every day
2020-10-19 03:05:21 PM lboffeli Yes it is. I also do an additional assement that focuses more in on each resident as a individual. MDS is a great starting point to gain that inital relationship
2020-10-19 03:05:30 PM wmcollins yes ! we all are !
2020-10-19 03:06:11 PM shedenaalexander Me too Rpennino new to the field... I LOVE IT
2020-10-19 03:06:48 PM wmcollins its a great field !!
2020-10-19 03:06:53 PM wmcollins I love it to
2020-10-19 03:06:53 PM shedenaalexander I agree
2020-10-19 03:06:54 PM wmcollins too
2020-10-19 03:07:59 PM rpennino They've been giving me a run for my money today lol
2020-10-19 03:08:23 PM rpennino So I have an assessment that is more focused solely on their likes and dislikes but not so much on their limitations
2020-10-19 03:08:27 PM rpennino this seems to be the perfect solution
2020-10-19 03:09:05 PM johnson94 ive been an activity director assistant just trying to get certified
2020-10-19 03:09:44 PM wmcollins yes it is crazy too !
2020-10-19 03:09:53 PM wmcollins but I love it
2020-10-19 03:09:58 PM lboffeli I LOVE the activties end of things. At my facility I also have the privalge to do wellness as well.
2020-10-19 03:10:06 PM wmcollins cool
2020-10-19 03:10:21 PM shedenaalexander MDS 3.0 Active Diagnosis of code dieases has a relationship to resdients current Functions Status,Coggnitive Status moodor behavior status, medical treatments nursing monitors or risk of death
2020-10-19 03:12:19 PM rpennino now how hard is this to do with residents who are significantly cognitively impaired?
2020-10-19 03:12:53 PM shedenaalexander From what I understand is that there are 2 catogeories here. And that is Identify Diagnoses 60 Day look back period dieases condition
2020-10-19 03:15:47 PM shedenaalexander And to Determine weather Diagnosis are Active ..Can't not include conditions that have been resolved or no longer affected residents functioning or plan of care during last 7 days
2020-10-19 03:16:18 PM lboffeli Yes that is correct Shedena. Also with the cognitively impaired their are assessements depeding on their disease progress that can be completed with staff/ or family members.
2020-10-19 03:16:58 PM rpennino Do you do a follow up to this assessment yearly to see improvement or decline?
2020-10-19 03:17:02 PM johnson94 left the chat room
2020-10-19 03:17:24 PM johnson94 enter the chat room
2020-10-19 03:17:45 PM lboffeli Yes yearly unless a resident experiences a significant change then we do follow up with another assessment
2020-10-19 03:17:58 PM shedenaalexander yes...quartley too
2020-10-19 03:19:14 PM lboffeli Yes
2020-10-19 03:23:16 PM johnson94 left the chat room
2020-10-19 03:24:14 PM shedenaalexander Because it could be something else that triggers a resident quality of life like a UTI
2020-10-19 03:24:24 PM rpennino Do you guys do the assesment after they've moved in or do you do it when the inital assesment is done before moving in to figuire out level of care?
2020-10-19 03:24:37 PM rpennino Absolutely, UTI's are scary in this population
2020-10-19 03:24:49 PM shedenaalexander Very
2020-10-19 03:25:11 PM wmcollins gotta go thanks to everyone for joining
2020-10-19 03:25:19 PM wmcollins have a great day
2020-10-19 03:25:24 PM rpennino You as well!
2020-10-19 03:25:28 PM shedenaalexander Same to you
2020-10-19 03:25:31 PM wmcollins left the chat room
2020-10-19 03:25:48 PM lboffeli You as well Wiliam. I posted our discussion and attendance to the forum

2020-10-19 03:27:05 PM rpennino Thank you for hosting it!
2020-10-19 03:29:03 PM debbief82 enter the chat room
2020-10-19 03:29:24 PM lboffeli Welcome Debbief82
2020-10-19 03:30:05 PM shedenaalexander I hvent had the oppotunity to do an assessment yet
2020-10-19 03:30:36 PM lboffeli DebbieF82 what is your full name for attendance?
2020-10-19 03:31:21 PM lboffeli Also we had a great discussion prior to your joining regarding MDS 3.0 is there something in particular you would like to discuss so we can help you focus on your questions?
2020-10-19 03:31:32 PM rpennino The way my company has it set up is interesting. They do an intial assessment by themselves and with their family members that we request before move in. And the assessment I'm told to do on them is the EXACT same assessment they have already completed. The MDS is much more thorough and I believe would better help me know what activities they would be suited for
2020-10-19 03:31:55 PM debbief82 It's Debbie Fisher
2020-10-19 03:32:18 PM lboffeli Thank You Debbie!
2020-10-19 03:32:18 PM shedenaalexander That Make sense
2020-10-19 03:32:40 PM shedenaalexander hi Debbie welcome

2020-10-19 03:34:55 PM debbief82 I becmae an Activity Director without anyone there to show me what to do. I went to another one of our buildings and sat with someone but they didn't really tell me what each thing I do really means so I am learning everything as I go.
2020-10-19 03:35:19 PM rpennino Same Debbie! I was working as an assistant before, got the promotion, and am still completely lost!
2020-10-19 03:35:23 PM shedenaalexander Me too Debbie

2020-10-19 03:35:53 PM debbief82 Glad to know there are other people that are in my sme situation.
2020-10-19 03:35:59 PM rpennino And since I started the Director position its been a constant battle of COVID in the building, made it even harder to figuire out whats going on!
2020-10-19 03:36:02 PM lboffeli Each of you don't worry. You will get there. It is complex but take it step by step you got this!
2020-10-19 03:36:13 PM amiller20 shedenaalexander yes sorry im late
